Repair options

If you haven’t found a solution, here’s how to get professional help

if all else fails, taking your gear to Apple may be the answer. That said, Apple isn’t always the cheapest option. Before booking in at a Genius Bar, compare Apple’s prices with those charged by your local Authorized Service Provider ( apple.

co/2fBpTU0), and third party repair stores. If you use a local repair shop, go to

getsupport.apple.com, click “See your products” and sign in with your Apple ID to see the warranty status of devices, and whether consumer law might still apply. From here, you can book an appointment for a repair, not only with Apple but also members of its authorized support network.
