Meet Your Atlantis Technician
Every charging port restoration is completed by an atlantis technician with over 15 years of experience repairing Apple devices. In the iPhone 5 series, the dock connector is part of a multi-functional flex assembly. Our workshop has replaced thousands of these units, ensuring that charging, microphone output, and headphone connectivity are all restored to factory standards. We utilise professional anti-static tools and grade-A components to ensure every repair is built to last. For other technical issues with these models, explore our full range of iPhone 5, 5S & SE repairs.
