Happy Tuesday,

I spent some time in our South Burlington store last Friday and poked around the newest Thunderbolt MacBook Pros. The inside is nearly identical to the previous generation, but there are a few very minor changes. Apple is making its computers more and more serviceable as time goes on, and there’s no doubt that future generations will be even more simply constructed.

Apple does not make iPad, iPhone, and iPod easy to service. That’s why they don’t offer repair of these devices, opting instead to replace any in-warranty iOS Devices outright if they break under warranty. It’s the same approach if your device is damaged and not covered by warranty: outright replacement. Small Dog is able to facilitate warranty replacement of qualifying iOS Devices in our stores.

If damaged, your iOS Device is considered out of warranty. Our technicians are trained to open these things up and replace bad parts instead of the whole unit. It’s a greener and more sensible approach in my eyes—and it’s certainly less expensive than buying an unsubsidized iPhone for up to $750!

Hopefully you won’t need to take advantage of these repair services, but if you do, you know where to go!

As always, thanks for reading, and keep in touch.
