Repair or Replace? Which Choice is Right for Your Apple Product?

When your phone, laptop, or smart pad isn't functioning as it should, it’s time to look at the options. On the one hand, you can repair your product and continue with a few more years of work, and on the other, you can cut your losses and start over again.

The type of damage your product has endured, your budget, and your personal preferences will all play a role in your decision. But there are a few things to consider first.
 

Warranties
Many of the problems that pop up with Apple products can be tackled with the help of a qualified repair team, like the one at The Orchard. If your product is covered by a warranty, you won't have to pay for all that work. You could be protected even if you don't remember buying an insurance policy from Apple.

In the case of an iPhone, every phone sold is protected by a one-year limited manufacturer's warranty. Apple builds on that warranty with AppleCare. This product gives you an additional few years of coverage, along with deep discounts on some types of accidental damage.

If you bought your Apple product, either online or in an Apple store, you were probably encouraged to invest in AppleCare. Experts say that AppleCare is a good buy for people that are clumsy and prone to dropping their devices, and it's a good buy for people who hope to keep their phones for two years or longer. In the case of a MacBook, the average lifespan is over a decade, repair is the better option if you want to get the most out of your Apple product for years to come.

Apple Authorized
Even without warranty protection, you could get the repairs you need to get your iPhone, MacBook, iPad, or Apple TV up and running again. It's best to get help through an Apple Authorized team, with or without a current warranty. Plus, with an Authorized Apple technician team, like the one at The Orchard, your repairs come with an Apple warranty and guarantee. 

The smart move for your pocketbook and the life of your Apple product is to seek repair options before going for a full replacement. Contact the team at The Orchard today to find out exactly what can be done to repair your device.
