Misleading Service and Overpriced Repairs – Go Elsewhere

I visited the iStore as it is an Apple-recommended store to address an issue with my iPhone 11 screen, which was unresponsive. The staff informed me that the screen was broken where the sensor is located and quoted £219 for a screen replacement. They also claimed that the sensor would need replacing but still quoted the total cost as £219—the same amount listed on Apple’s website for just a screen replacement.

This seemed odd, so I questioned the claim, but the staff insisted it would be difficult to find another store with a compatible sensor for my phone. Skeptical, I visited another repair shop, where I had the screen replaced for £70. The phone works perfectly now, and no sensor replacement was needed.

The staff at the iStore provided misleading information to push their expensive repair service. This experience felt dishonest, and I cannot recommend this store. Save your time and money by seeking repairs elsewhere.

Hi,

As an Apple Authorised Service Provider, we follow Apple’s pricing structure, and the £219 quoted for your iPhone 11 screen replacement aligns with the price listed on Apple’s website. This cost includes genuine Apple parts, Apple-trained technicians, and adherence to strict data privacy standards.

While third-party repair shops may offer lower prices, they typically use non-genuine parts, and repairs are performed by non-Apple certified technicians. This could compromise the quality, durability, and security of your device. We aim to provide reliable, high-quality service that meets Apple’s standards to ensure long-term performance.

We remain committed to offering transparent, Apple-authorised service. If you have further concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly.

I have had to go to the istore in Woking a few times recently, another visit today and next week. Jack, the shop assistant, is absolutely fantastic. Kind, polite, patient, very knowledgeable about products, nothing is too much trouble. Would go nowhere else.

Awful I just needed a password reset

Awful I just needed a password reset. The 'assistant' decided to multitask with another customer. Did not help me to go through the process of the rest as he chatted away to the other customer. He then made a mistake on the reset. He then said it would take between two hours and three days to reset as the reset was 'Nebulous ' (hazy vague indistinct or confused) I have no idea what that means ..do you ?? He then passed me back the phone worse than it was before and he kindly told me that there would be no charge. Arrogant rude and would never recommend. Horrible pointless man.

Hi Justin,

We understand how frustrating it must have been to feel overlooked during your visit. At times, when the store is busy or short-staffed, we may assist multiple customers simultaneously to reduce waiting times.

Regarding the password reset process, it can indeed take up to 48 hours. If there’s missing or insufficient information on the account, Apple must review the request before approving the reset, which can unfortunately extend the timeframe. We understand that this can be frustrating, but unfortunately is something that is out of our control.

If you’d like to discuss your experience further or need additional support, please feel free to reach out to us directly.

Hi,

You ordered an item that was not in-stock with a 2-4 week delivery time. So I think it is somewhat unfair to expect it to be with you 3 days later?

We should have the item back in-stock in the next few days.

Kind regards,
Will - iStore Webshop
