Question about replacing screen

[hinds90]

Any Apple store techs on the forum or familiar wih the process of replacing the screen? I was told since the tech could see my phone was jail broken I would either need to update to the latest iOS software or take a new phone. His reason for telling me this is the calibration machine would brick the phone. I can understand that but what does the software have to do with changing the screen.

Either way I was planning on updating regardless tonight to 8.3 it's just seems like bs but hopefully someone more familiar with the process can set me straight.

I'm not an Apple Store tech, nor am I familiar with the process, but it's necessary that your iPhone is not jailbroken when you give it to them to take a look at it, because Apple will deny service for a jailbroken device.

Apple will not service a jailbroken device. You would have to remove the jailbreak before taking it in. Right now would be a good time, as the current iOS version has been jailbroken.
The bit about bricking the phone is BS, though.

Well luckily they still serviced it. I already have everything setup to update and jailbreak 8.3. I just figured they would power the phone down and replace the screen. In my mind I was thinking replacing the screen has nothing to do with the software but now I know lol.

First time ever taking a iPhone to the Apple Store for anything and I've had the 4 to 6+

Get 8.3 downloaded tonight. 8.4 is rumored to be coming tomorrow.

I doubt it. I think the release date will be delayed by at least a week as Apple has yet to release the iOS 8.4 Gold Master to developers. They never publicly release a major iOS update without releasing a Gold Master about a week ahead of the public release.

IOS 8.4 now shows as available on my iPhone. Guess they didn't want any delay for Apple Music v

There was no Gold master release prior to this update. I haven't seen that before. I'll be updating my iPad as soon as I get home.
