Lithium Battery Shipping via UPS Express Good news for our international customers. We can ship orders containing lithium products and loose lithium batteries internationally via UPS Express. Because the transport of lithium batteries is subject to additional safety and transport regulations, these shipments are processed separately by our team. Which products are covered? This includes, among others: Power banks Wireless earbuds and headphones Rechargeable accessories Electronic products with a built-in battery Loose batteries for mobile phones Other loose or built-in lithium batteries Order before 17:00 Does your order contain lithium products or loose lithium batteries? Place your order before 17:00 for the fastest possible processing. For lithium shipments, we need to carry out additional procedures before the package can be handed over to UPS. This includes additional checks, proper processing and packaging, and the required shipping documentation. Orders containing lithium products that are placed after 17:00 may therefore not be processed on the same day. This condition applies exclusively to orders containing lithium products or loose lithium batteries. Our normal processing applies to regular orders without lithium products. International shipping via UPS Express Lithium-containing products and loose lithium batteries are shipped internationally exclusively via UPS Express. This allows us to ship these products quickly and in accordance with the applicable transport regulations to our international customers. Fixed lithium surcharge A fixed lithium surcharge is charged for every lithium shipment, in addition to the regular UPS Express shipping costs. This fixed surcharge applies due to the additional handling, checks, and transport requirements that apply to shipments containing lithium batteries. Ordering lithium products?

Lately, we’ve been seeing more and more cases where customers report that the iPad display is “not responding properly” when using a pen. At first glance, it looks like a touch issue, but after testing quite a few of these, the pattern is pretty clear. In most cases, the display is actually fine. The difference comes down to the type of pen being used. When we test with an original Apple Pencil, everything behaves as expected. You can write normally, rest your hand on the screen, and the input stays stable. No jumps, no interruptions. But when we switch to a copy pen, things change. If you only use the tip, it often works okay. The moment you rest your hand on the screen while writing, you start seeing issues. Lines break, touch becomes inconsistent, or the screen seems unresponsive. That’s usually the moment customers think the display is defective. From a repair perspective, this is where things go wrong if you’re not careful with testing. If you only test quickly with a pen—especially without resting your hand—you might miss it. If you don’t ask what pen the customer is using, you might approve an RMA that shouldn’t be one. The easiest way to avoid this is to go back to basics when testing: First, use your fingers and check the full screen If touch works fine everywhere, that already tells you a lot Then test with an original Apple Pencil (your reference) Only after that, test with a third-party pen and simulate real usage (including resting your hand) That last part is important because that’s exactly where copy pens tend to fail. It’s not the screen struggling—it’s the pen not handling palm rejection properly. We’ve also found that asking the customer one simple question upfront saves a lot of time: “Are you using an original Apple Pencil?” In many cases, that alone points you in the right direction. If there’s still doubt, ask for a short video from the customer. You can usually see immediately whether it’s a display issue or just how the pen behaves when the hand is on the screen. Key takeaway If the display works fine with touch and behaves correctly with an original pen, then it’s not a screen problem. What looks like a defect is often just the limitation of a copy pen. Catching this early means: Fewer unnecessary returns Less back-and-forth with customers A smoother repair process overall      

iOS 26 Brings Major Relief for Repair Shops: Full Compatibility Restored Apple’s official release of iOS 26 earlier this week has brought long-awaited stability to the repair community. One of the most important updates is full compatibility with diagnostic batteries and displays — both new and old — resolving long-standing issues faced by repair professionals worldwide. What Was the Issue? Before iOS 26 Beta 5, many repair shops encountered persistent problems when installing diagnostic parts. The most common challenges included: Batteries that were not upgraded to the latest software Displays showing errors or triggering warnings Pairing issues after repairs These issues often caused diagnostic parts to malfunction or triggered “unknown part” pop-ups due to version mismatches between the device and the installed component. What Has Changed in iOS 26? The newly released official version of iOS 26 completely resolves these compatibility issues. From now on, repair shops can expect a smoother workflow and improved reliability: Diagnostic batteries can now be installed without triggering “unknown part” messages — even if they haven’t been updated. Diagnostic displays work flawlessly, without error messages or pop-ups, even if they were previously paired on older iOS versions. No need to upgrade old stock — existing inventory and customer-held parts are now ready to use without modification. What This Means for Repair Shops The benefits for repair professionals are immediate and substantial: Zero workflow interruptions during repairs No more reprogramming or upgrading of older diagnostic parts Confident installations with pop-up-free operation In short, iOS 26 makes iPhone repairs faster, smoother, and more reliable than ever before. Why Did Apple Jump from iOS 18 to iOS 26? Many users were surprised to see Apple leap directly from iOS 18 to iOS 26 — but there’s a logical reason behind the change. Apple has decided to align its operating system numbers with a year-based naming system. Year-Based Naming for Better Consistency Similar to how car manufacturers label models for the next year (for example, a 2026 model released in 2025), Apple’s new system aligns all platforms — iPadOS 26, watchOS 26, and macOS 15 (internally version 26) — for easier ecosystem management and clarity across devices. A Cosmetic Change with Functional Benefits While the numerical jump from iOS 18 to iOS 26 may appear dramatic, it’s largely a cosmetic update designed to simplify version control and align Apple’s internal architecture. The real advantage lies in improved efficiency, system stability, and repair reliability. A Win for the Repair Community The release of Apple iOS 26 marks a major milestone for the repair industry. With full compatibility restored for diagnostic batteries and displays, repair shops can now operate confidently without software barriers or pop-up interruptions. It’s the perfect moment for technicians to restock on diagnostic parts, streamline their workflows, and deliver seamless, professional repairs to their customers.
