iPhone 15 Pro Max Motherboard Replacement

Published by TurboFix, Hyderabad · Last updated · 1 sources

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max

Quick answer

A iPhone 15 Pro Max motherboard replacement swaps the A17 Pro logic board. Your data doesn't transfer, Face ID usually stops working and the IMEI changes to the new board's, so we look at chip-level service on your original board first.

The iPhone 15 Pro Max's logic board holds the A17 Pro chip, its storage and its security hardware. Replacing the whole board is a big step: your data doesn't come across, and Face ID usually won't work afterwards.

This page explains when a motherboard replacement makes sense for an iPhone 15 Pro Max, what changes afterwards, and when chip-level service on your original board is the better route.

Advice that applies to every iPhone — data safety, what to check before booking and common causes — is in our iPhone motherboard replacement guide; this page focuses on what's specific to the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

What makes the iPhone 15 Pro Max different for this service?

  • Chip: A17 Pro. The chip, storage and security hardware are all on the logic board.
  • Parts history: the iPhone 15 Pro Max lists the logic board in Settings > General > About. Apple says a replaced, unverified logic board might affect features such as Apple Pay.

How does motherboard replacement differ across the iPhone 15 series (2023)?

The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus use the A16 Bionic, while the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max introduced the A17 Pro. The logic board is tracked in Parts and Service History and Face ID remains paired to it.

What should I check on my iPhone 15 Pro Max before booking?

  • The iPhone 15 Pro Max went on sale in September 2023, so unless it was bought much later or has extended cover, it's likely outside Apple's one-year limited warranty. You can confirm at checkcoverage.apple.com.

What do we test on your iPhone 15 Pro Max before handing it back?

These checks are chosen for the iPhone 15 Pro Max's hardware, so features this model has are confirmed working after motherboard replacement:

  • Face ID set-up and unlock
  • 120 Hz ProMotion scrolling
  • Always-On display when the phone is locked
  • Dynamic Island animations and Live Activities
  • USB-C charging with a reference cable
  • MagSafe alignment and wireless charging
  • Action button
  • LiDAR-assisted Portrait mode
  • Calls on earpiece and speakerphone, and Voice Memo recording
  • Mobile data including 5G where available, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

IPhone 15 Pro Max motherboard replacement: frequently asked questions

Will I lose my data if the iPhone 15 Pro Max motherboard is replaced?

Yes — data on the old board doesn't move to the new one, because storage is part of the board and encrypted to it. If you have an iCloud or computer backup, you can restore it onto the replacement. If you don't, ask about chip-level service first: reviving the original board is the only way to reach that data.

Is a motherboard replacement worth it?

It depends on the iPhone 15 Pro Max's value to you, whether you have a backup, and the alternatives. Because Face ID usually won't work afterwards and data isn't transferred, we often recommend trying chip-level service on your original board first.

How much does a iPhone 15 Pro Max motherboard replacement cost?

It depends on board availability and storage size. We quote after diagnosis, before any work, and explain whether chip-level service is a better option.

Are replacement logic boards available for the iPhone 15 Pro Max?

Usually, as used or refurbished boards, because the iPhone 15 Pro Max has been on sale since September 2023. Condition and source vary, so we tell you exactly what's being quoted.

Will a replacement board have the same storage as my iPhone 15 Pro Max?

Not necessarily. Storage is part of the logic board, so the replacement brings its own capacity. Make sure the quote states the storage size you're getting.

Will Settings show that the iPhone 15 Pro Max's board was replaced?

Yes. On iPhone 12 and later, including the iPhone 15 Pro Max, Settings > General > About lists the logic board, and Apple marks a replaced board that can't be verified as "Unverified".
