iPhone Taptic Engine
No buzz on calls, no haptic on keyboard taps, or a worrying rattle when you shake the phone - that's the Taptic Engine. AED 350, 1 day, 90-day warranty.
Shafeez, iPhone Taptic and haptic systems

Quick answer
The Taptic Engine in every iPhone since the 7 is a precision linear actuator - far more sophisticated than the spinning eccentric motors of older phones. It produces every vibration, every keyboard tap haptic, every Apple Pay confirmation buzz. When it fails you don't just lose vibration on calls; you lose the entire feel of iOS.
Common failure modes: dropped phone shakes the magnet loose (you'll hear a rattle), water damage corrodes the coil contacts, or the unit simply ages out after 5+ years of constant use. Replacement is a 45-minute job with the phone open from the bottom. AED 350, including a 90-day warranty.
Settings + diagnostic test
First we confirm Settings → Sounds & Haptics is on (about 8% of cases are software). Then run iOS Taptic test.
Open from bottom
Battery disconnect first, Taptic Engine sits next to it on the lower edge - direct access without lifting the screen.
Replace and align
OEM-grade Taptic Engine installed, screws torqued to spec to avoid vibration transfer to the chassis.
Test every haptic
Ringtone, keyboard, Apple Pay, system haptic. 90-day warranty card with the phone.
