Meet the Atlantis Senior Engineering Team

Our senior engineers treat every charging port replacement with meticulous care. On the iPhone 7 and 8 Plus, the charging dock is a complex assembly that also includes microphone components and antenna connections. Our team ensures that every internal cable is seated perfectly and that no micro-screws are left behind, guaranteeing that not only will your phone charge, but your voice calls and signal strength remain at factory levels.

This repair involves a full dock connector flex replacement:
- Component: Lightning connector, primary microphone, and cellular antenna leads.

Process & Protection
- Diagnostic Assessment: We thoroughly check your device to identify if the issue is the port, the cable, or the battery.
