This place is just awesome!! Guys are super friendly and knowledgeable! ... quick service ... approx. 1 hour!
Have an iphone 5 ... stopped working out of the blue last summer...no damage...no water...just stopped...black screen...couldn't sign into itunes...wouldn't charge. Bought a new apple charger...still no charge. Took it to apple genius bar. Waited an hour ...they took phone "to the back" and came back 15 min later and said they couldn't do anything to fix...but they could sell me a refurbished iphone 5 for $290! Ya not happening.
Took iphone home and googled possible fixes and the U2 IC chip issue came up...no one locally fixes this issue (company in the UK fixes) ... apparently happens due to using non apple chargers which I seldom but occasionally use.
Needed a phone so pulled old iphone 4 out of drawer...charged up and moved service over to this phone. Thought well there's no way to fix iphone 5 and didn't want to spend $$$ to get new phone ... wasn't happy that a perfectly good iphone which I'd taken great care of would just stop working so kept using iphone 4 for 8 months....till a friend suggested I take iphone 5 to Sun Cellular.
Brought iphone 5 in ... they tried a new charge port ... still not working ... then put a new battery ($50) in phone and voila!! Works perfectly. Sun Cellular...you guys are the real genius bar.
Now why on earth would apple genius bar not be able to diagnose and fix something as simple as a battery issue. I'm thoroughly convinced that when the geniuses "take phone to the back" they are really updating their snapchat or having a snack.
Highly recommend this company ... I'll never go back to apple genius bar. Thank you John!!
