iPhone Vibration Repair Melbourne
Modern iPhones use Apple's Taptic Engine to deliver precise haptic feedback — from the satisfying click of the keyboard to the buzz of an incoming notification. When the Taptic Engine fails, you lose all vibration alerts and the tactile feedback that makes iOS feel polished. iTech Repairs replaces Taptic Engine units and older vibration motors on all iPhone models in Melbourne.
Common Symptoms
Recognise any of these? Walk in and we'll diagnose and fix it on the spot.
No Vibration Alerts
Incoming calls, messages, and notifications produce no physical buzz — you're missing alerts entirely when the phone is on silent.
No Haptic Feedback on Keyboard
The subtle tap you feel with each key press on the iOS keyboard has disappeared, making typing feel flat and unresponsive.
Notifications Silent
Alerts that previously triggered a vibration now produce no physical response, even when vibration is enabled in Settings.
Calls Not Vibrating
Incoming calls no longer cause the phone to vibrate in your pocket — only the ringtone (or silence) indicates a call.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Taptic Engine?
Apple's Taptic Engine is a precision linear actuator that creates haptic feedback — the physical sensations associated with interactions in iOS. It replaced the older spinning vibration motor in the iPhone 7 and is present in all subsequent models.
What are the different types of haptic feedback?
iOS uses haptics for keyboard key presses, notification buzzes, system alerts (such as Apple Pay confirmation), ringtone vibration patterns, and game controller feedback. All of these are powered by the Taptic Engine.
How much does vibration/haptic repair cost?
Taptic Engine replacement pricing varies by model. Walk in or call for a quote.
