When it comes to those helpful iPhone and iPod devices we carry around, we love them until something goes wrong and often times things just do. From dropping your phone in the driveway and getting those great cracked screens to mistakenly soaking your iPhone or iPod in water – your device will most likely need some kind of tender loving care in it's lifetime, especially if you are mistake-prone (like me) or keep your devices for a long time.
So I've compiled a list of the best iPhone and iPod repair services around to get your iPhone or iPod back into shape after a tragic mishap.
Direct Fix
DirectFix.com is my favorite repair service because they give you the opportunity to manage your iPhone and iPod repairs yourself and that usually translates into big savings! DirectFix.com is an online retailer selling do-it-yourself iPhone repair and what makes them one of the best is that they also have free video directions that helps users repair their own broken screens on their iPhone and iPod units. The video repair directions, tutorials, and videos are available free online and do not require any purchase – which saves you money. This money savings is perfect to go toward your next iPhone or iPod upgrade later down the line.
Restore Doctors
The most common iPhone and iPod repairs out there are screen replacements and water damage, so it would be a shame to send your iPhone or iPod to be repaired by someone who doesn't know how to make these repairs. Luckily Restore Doctors specialize in screen and water damage repairs and to me what qualifies them as one of the best repair services out there is the fact that they repair the older generation Apple devices as well.
Mission Repair
I find myself lost without my iPhone so it wouldn't help me too much if I had to part from my iPhone for days just to get it repaired. Well this is where Mission Repair stands out as one of the best. They are not only Certified Macintosh Technicians (which is one of the things you want to look for in a repair service) but they also have a 24-hour turnaround on all their repair services, PHENOMENAL! What can be better after an iPhone or iPod tragedy than getting it repaired quickly by qualified staff? NOTHING!
My iPhone Repair
MyiPhoneRepair.com is a great repair service for every mobile Apple device, mainly because of their flat-fee pricing. It pains me when I get a service done to find out that the "quote" was simply a quote and it will cost way more than expected. With My iPhone Repair it will never be that way again. As a bonus, MyiPhoneRepair also offers jail-breaking and phone unlocking services if you are interested. So check them out for your iPhone, and iPod repairs, jail-breaking and phone unlocking needs.
Philly iPhone Repair
As Philly iPhone Repair claims, 99% of other iPhone repair shops will not physically replace damaged IC chips – this automatically adds them to the 'best' list, as they have the tools and expertise to literally put new hearts in your iDevice. The ONLY unfortunate thing about Philly iPhone Repair is that they are only located in well, Philadelphia. Bummer. No worries though, if you are in the area you can find yourself receiving a 30 minute repair job on the spot.
MacXperts
MacXperts is an independently-owned Apple-authorized sales and service store for Mac computers and iPads, but as you likely know, Apple only sells the iPhone through their corporate stores or select AT&T retailers. What puts MacXperts on the list is that they specialize in out-of-warranty iPhone and iPod repairs and have numerous locations around the nation.
Apple
Yes, Apple. There will be no one better at fixing your beloved iPhone and iPod than Apple themselves and best of all if you've purchased your iPhone or iPod and have any issues most of the repairs can be handled by Apple for free. If you are beyond one year of ownership for your device, simply make sure you purchased their Extended AppleCare Protection Plan before your first year of iPhone or iPod ownership is up and they will take care of your every repair need for the next two years.
Be mindful – if you don't really think you will have the device beyond two years, DON'T opt-in for the Extended AppleCare Protection Plan; you won't have time to use it!
