How Long Does Apple Same Day Screen Repair Take

Not quite the best for Apple repairs, possibly. However.

I can be moved by an exciting headline.

So when I read this one, all the hairs of my beard swayed in perfect unison.

It read: "Apple partners with All-time Buy for expanded repair service."

Yep, this was written past Apple and it offered deeply heady news: "Apple today announced the completion of a major expansion of its Apple authorized service network. With virtually ane,000 Best Buy stores beyond the US now providing expert service and repairs for Apple products, customers accept even easier and more than convenient access to safe and reliable repairs."

Could this mean no more than visits to the bedlam and cacophony of an Apple Store? Could it exist that Apple had secretly trained thousands of Best Buy staff to be Geniuses overnight?

Apple in the Enterprise: A Strategic Guide

Once a pariah in the enterprise, Apple has quietly emerged as a darling of executives and professionals because of the ease of use of the iPhone and the iPad. We expect at how the influx of Apple tree devices is changing the tech landscape in business concern.

Repair Your MacBook? Well, In Kentucky.

He emerged, sporting a fine grinning and a glorious haircut.

I've mostly enjoyed excellent service at Best Buy, where the staff are open, alarm and relatively unbiased.

I explained my excitement on reading about Apple's beknighting of All-time Buy'south new Geniuses.

"So you can now repair my iPhone and my MacBook?" I asked.

"Well, nosotros've been Apple tree-certified for a quite a long time," he replied.

"Ah, and then y'all've been doing this for a while? Why did Apple tree make such a big annunciation this week?"

"It was probably the visitor expanding information technology," he replied, as if he hadn't really heard about information technology at all.

I and so reached for the nuts and bolts.

"So I can bring in my iPhone and MacBook Air and you tin can repair information technology here?"

"The iPhone, peradventure. And only if it's less than v years erstwhile. The MacBook, we'd accept to send that away to our service centre."

"Ah, OK. Where's your service eye? A few miles from here?"

"Kentucky."

"Ah. Oh."

"It'south chosen Geek Squad City."

Which sounds a lovely place, like a Westworld for Geeks.

"Then I've been having trouble with my MacBook Air, the keyboard has been sticking -- even though it's OK right now. How long would it accept you lot guys to repair information technology?"

"Two to iv weeks," he said. "We can't give you a definite time. Information technology only depends. But we tell you what's going on. It goes express delivery, you become an email when it arrives, you go an email when it'due south been worked on, an email when it's fixed and an email when we look information technology back."

"That's a lot of emails."

Moreover, Apple tree has been promising one-twenty-four hours keyboard repairs.

"Aye, only if information technology'south your iPhone we accept same-24-hour interval repairs here," he added.

"Ah, that's more like an Apple tree Shop then. So if my iPhone breaks downwardly, I can just bring it in?" I asked.

"If it'due south the simpler stuff similar a cracked screen or a battery replacement. If information technology'due south the receiver, so we have to send it to our service middle," he explained.

Which is notwithstanding in Kentucky.

You run across, that's the thing about headlines. They're generally short, which means some things are left out.

Conspicuously, Apple wants to expand repair possibilities and make Apple Stores experience slightly emptier. Best Buy, on the other hand, can often experience quite cavernous. So a few more people wandering in surely wouldn't hurt.

Yet if you lot live near an Apple Store, there'south even so the reassurance that you might get your repairs done there more quickly than if your machine has to be sent to Kentucky.

I thanked the very kind man for his bad news and felt sad, but understanding, that a concentration of Geniuses was in Mitch McConnell's country, rather than my own.

But as I made to go, the Geek Squadder had one more than thought for me: "In instance you wondered, we're the same price as the Apple Store."
