Written warranty

The NFC antenna in every iPhone since the 6 sits at the very top of the back, just under the rear glass. When it fails, Apple Pay won't read at terminals, Nol cards in transit won't tap, and any NFC-triggered Shortcuts go silent. On iPhone X and later the antenna shares space with the rear camera assembly, so we work carefully around the camera flex.

Common cause in Dubai: a drop on the top edge cracks the antenna trace; the back glass replacement at a cheap shop reused damaged adhesive; or water damage corroded the NFC controller. AED 350 covers antenna replacement and, if needed, NFC controller reflow on the logic board.

Service scope

What we fix

  • Apple Pay declined at every terminal
  • Apple Pay works inside apps but not at terminals (NFC fault)
  • Nol card not tapping at Dubai Metro
  • Salik tag scanning fails
  • Hotel room key (Hilton Honors etc.) not reading
  • NFC tag Shortcuts no longer trigger
  • After-back-glass-repair NFC failure
  • After-drop antenna trace damage

Our process

How it works

  1. Apple Pay terminal test

    Free - we test against our bench POS. Confirms whether it's the antenna, controller, or your card.

  2. Open from the screen side

    We don't crack the back glass - instead we lift the screen and access the antenna from inside (less risk to the camera bump).

  3. Replace antenna or reflow controller

    If the antenna is broken, we install OEM-grade replacement. If the NFC controller IC has failed, we reflow at controlled temperature.

  4. Test against multiple terminals

    Bench POS, contactless transit reader, and an NFC tag. Warranty up to 12 months card with the phone.

12-month written warranty

  • Covers the new antenna and controller rework.
  • Excludes carrier or bank-side Apple Pay issues.
  • Free re-test within 12 months if NFC stops responding.

FAQ

  • If Apple Pay works inside apps (e.g. paying for Apple Music) but not at physical terminals, NFC hardware is the issue. If both fail, your card may be locked or your Apple Pay setup needs refresh.
