November 14, 2025 – Phone Repair Malta, 6 Bisazza Street, Sliema
(The shop where cracked screens come to retire and batteries get a second life)
We don’t do “unboxings.” We do stress-boxings.
The second the iPhone 17 Pro Max 256GB Orange hit our counter at 6 Bisazza Street, we slapped on a timer, hit record, and treated it like every clumsy customer’s phone we’ve ever fixed.
Spoiler: It survived. Your wallet might not if you skip our €199 screen replacement when you drop it.
Let’s get into the fun stuff—without the boring spec vomit you’ve already Googled.
The Sliema Sidewalk Drop Test (Yes, We Filmed It)
10:03 AM – Fresh out of the box.
We walked outside, aimed for the roughest patch of Bisazza pavement, and let gravity do its thing.
Result?
- Bounce #1: Titanium edge kissed the stone.
- Bounce #2: New side flash sensor took a direct hit.
- Final score: Zero cracks. Zero drama.
Pro tip from the repair bench: The reinforced corners mean your iPhone screen replacement Sliema bill just dropped 20%. Still, accidents happen—walk in Monday–Friday 10 AM–7 PM (Saturday till 6 PM) and we’ll fix it while you grab a coffee next door.
Camera: We Shot a Night Market in Marsaxlokk… at Midnight
Swapped mid-shoot from an iPhone 16 Pro Max (RIP its battery). Here’s the no-filter truth:
| Shot | iPhone 16 | iPhone 17 Pro Max | Repair Reality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fish stall, one lantern | Grainy, yellow mess | Colors pop, octopus tentacles sharp | New side flash acts like a mini softbox. Foggy lens? Camera cleaning €29. |
| Boat 30m away | Cropped blur | 8x optical zoom – registration number readable | No digital fakery. Cracked back glass? €149 fix. |
| Close-up of octopus ink | Soft, 12MP | 48MP macro – every suction cup visible | Instagram gold. |
Secret sauce we found: Triple-tap the flash → ring light mode. Perfect for late-night pastizzi runs.
