Hi Apple friends, coz' the mall w/ the best a cellphone repair mecca (they say, also this mall has more Apple original parts it seems) iPhone repair guys is far away in another city (it'll be a screen replacement), if all goes well, before they ship it back I want them to have it tested thoroughly these two especially: the screen and camera (front and back & the others as well like the mic and speakers, call incoming and outgoing but the screen and camera are priorities)?

Is there a way for the repair center to test the screen and camera thoroughly without them giving my passcode (God-willing they get to repair it)?

The screen and camera module (which I think includes some sensors as well) has already been dismantled by the way (for their convenience so things are faster).

Thank you.

Backup your iPhone, remove SIM card, and then use Settings > Reset all Content and Settings option before sending device for repair. You can always restore from backup when you get the device back. To hand some stranger your passcode along with your iPhone, with all your stuff on it, is simply stupid.

Hi, the phone looks like this at the moment, could it be reset without a screen (I think the mic's detached too and the battery is too). I've opened iPhones before but I just replace the battery, the camera part is tricky on the iPhone 6S Plus and I guess it's not as simple as a battery swap with the iPhone 6S plus:

Look like I have to trust my passcode to the repair guys if they get to repair this so they can test all the parts especially the camera using iPhoneDiagnostics iOS app or not have it tested and test it here when they bring it back (assuming it gets fixed), if the camera isn't ok, I'll take it back (will reset by that time).
