Hi. I am Muhammad Asif Azeemi, a certified phone repair specialist. I am interested in the repair and functionality of cell phones, including iPhones. My experience in mobile phone repair and instruction, both online and in person, spans more than 20 years. I am happy to share that many of my students have found my lessons helpful, which has led many of them to start their own mobile stores. I have a proven track record of repairing more than 6,000 mobile phones with a wide range of issues. My aim is to impart this knowledge and experience within my courses and books to prevent frustration. I aim to streamline access to mobile repair information, counteracting manufacturers' efforts to limit such access.
