After going to the Apple store and getting shot down on having my iPad repaired (I was told my only option was to upgrade to a new one at full price), I took my device to my local iRepair. Not only was the friendly Kelly able to successfully fix my iPad in a matter of MINUTES, but the repair was so simple (software update?) they she did not even charge me.
iRepair is a reminder that the Apple store should always be your last choice for repairs and advice. Let iRepair be your first!
