Logic Board Replacement: Estimated Labour Charges and Prices in Nairobi
Provider: Pro-Logic Technologies, Kangari Building, Nairobi
"Logic board" is the term Apple uses for the main circuit board in iPhones and iPads — functionally identical to what Android manufacturers call the motherboard or mainboard. It carries the Apple Silicon SoC (A-series chip), RAM, NAND flash storage, Touch ID or Face ID Secure Enclave, and all core connectivity chips. Because Apple integrates storage and the Secure Enclave directly onto the logic board, replacing it has unique consequences that differ from a standard Android motherboard swap.
iPhone-Specific Implications of Logic Board Replacement
- Face ID: The TrueDepth camera is paired to the Secure Enclave on the logic board. Replacing the board means Face ID will no longer function on most iPhone models from X onwards.
- Touch ID (Home Button): The Touch ID sensor is also paired. A new logic board will not recognise the original home button's fingerprint sensor.
- Apple ID and Activation Lock: A replacement board must be clean — not iCloud-locked — or the device will be permanently disabled.
- Storage capacity is fixed: The replacement board must match the original storage tier (64GB, 128GB, 256GB, etc.) as it cannot be changed.

Is Logic Board Replacement Worth It?
Given that a logic board replacement on a current-generation iPhone can approach the cost of a certified refurbished device, the decision requires careful consideration. For older iPhones in otherwise excellent condition, it can extend a device's life significantly. For flagships under warranty, Apple's own repair programme should be explored first.
Pro-Logic Technologies at Kangari Building, Nairobi provides iCloud lock verification, board-level diagnosis, and transparent logic board replacement services for all iPhone models.
