Preparation guide
Protect accessible information: Check the completed backup status or verify selected copies. Keep any encrypted-backup password and account credentials privately accessible. If the device is inaccessible, record that limitation instead of marking backup complete.

Prepare the handoff: Follow Apple and the provider’s current instructions for the installed iOS. Never add a passcode, password or serial number to this record. Confirm which accessories and proof of purchase the appointment requires.

Receive and verify: Review the provider’s record of work and any data changes. Privately restore with your own credentials if the agreed service requires it. Verify expected data, charging and touch before retiring the earlier backup.
