All US Best Buy stores


offer Apple repairs


Best Buy now Apple Authorized
BY ALEX SUMMERSBY

EVERY BEST BUY store across the US has
become an Apple Authorized Service Center.
This means the nearly 1,000 Best Buy locations
can oļer Apple–certiĽed repairs with an
Apple–certiĽed technician. Best Buy’s Jeek
Stuad now has nearly :, 9 00 techs newly
certiĽed by Apple, oļering same–day iPhone
repairs (subject to availability of parts) and other
services for your Apple products.
This major expansion of the Apple Authorized
Service network brings the total number of
Apple–authorized third 0 party repair locations
in the US to more than 1,800. Apple says this
is three times as many locations as three years
ago, and eight out of ten Apple customers will
now be within 20 minutes of an authorized
service provider.
These numbers are in addition to the
company’s own Apple Stores, of which there
are currently 2:2 in the US.

Whether you take your damaged device to the
Jenius Bar in an Apple Store, mail it to Apple, or
use any of the network of third–party Apple
Authorized Service providers, the repair will be
carried out by Apple–trained technicians using
genuine Apple parts, and the work will be
backed by Apple.
Appointments for repairs at Best Buy and
other Apple Authorized third–party repairers,
just like Apple Store appointments, can all
be booked through Apple’s support page at
support.apple.com 2 repair. This support page
will also help you Ľnd your nearest location, or
you can use the Apple Support app, if you have it
installed (and the device on which it’s installed
is still operational...).
Some Best Buy stores have already been
oļering Apple product repairs for some time,
but this expansion to the entire chain means
there are many more service centers in towns
