Staples
Staples is another option for iPhone repairs. Even amidst the coronavirus quarantine, select stores are still fixing iPhones. You can drop your phone off at a store and repairs are typically done within a few hours. Staples can replace the battery, fix cracked screens, and attempt to recover devices affected by water.
If your phone has been in contact with water, certain stores have TekDry machines to dry the phone in around 30 minutes. It is advised that you get your phone to a store with a TekDry machine within the first 48 hours of water contact. The cost for this dry repair service ranges from $40 to $100, with the average price around $70. Staples only charges you if it successfully revives your water-damaged phone.
All repairs are backed by a one-year warranty on parts. Staples isn’t a certified Apple service center, so you would use the store only if your iPhone is no longer under Apple’s warranty or coverage.
