Great service from the Tunbridge Wells store
The gentleman I dealt with in the Tunbridge Wells store was very helpful and friendly, and - having ordered the IPad Pro I wanted, as the shop didn’t have it in stock, I duly received it at home the next day. Excellent service, as per usual.

Used iStore website as I knew they were an official Apple reseller. I purchased an item from their clearance section. Their website is very well set out and easy to use. The item was received quickly via safe tracked delivery. It was, in my opinion, in better condition than they had graded it. Very happy. Recommended

Techie BS alert.
Techie BS alert.
Happened across the Crawley branch from using the torturous Apple help bot.
Elbowing colleague out the way saying “I’m the techie here” a lad informed us the bricked iPhone 13pro, in a boot loop, was worthless. We could forget about data recovery and as it was purchased via Back market it would never work again, apparently their reviews are an AI generated lie. Glad my 13 year old son had the experience, particularly when Hazelden in Redhill recognised the issue over the phone and fixed the phone completely when part arrived.

Hi Tim,
We would like to clarify the situation regarding your device.
Your iPhone was purchased through a third-party refurbisher and had non-Apple parts and unauthorised repairs previously carried out. As an Apple Authorised Service Provider, we are strictly required to follow Apple’s guidelines, which means we can only work with genuine Apple parts and tools. When a device has been tampered with or fitted with unsupported components, we cannot safely perform repairs or be held responsible for any resulting malfunction. In such cases, Apple authorises us only to offer a whole unit replacement.
We understand this may not have been the outcome you were hoping for, but our team provided the options that Apple allows in these circumstances. We are pleased to hear that your device was ultimately fixed, and we hope it continues to work well for you.
If you have any further questions about Apple’s repair policies, we would be happy to help. ~ Irene

Battery replacement
Needed to replace the battery in a 2020 model phone but was worried that they might not stock that particular battery. Phone called made to Woking branch, helpful staff physically checked one was in stock, so I wasn't going to make a wasted trip. Booked in and was seen immediately, everything explained well and help given to me as I had not been able to disable some of the security settings as required. Also a bit of patience shown as I needed my Apple account password, which of course I didn't have to hand! Work done within about 90 minutes, and phone up and running properly straight away. All in all a pleasant stress free experience.

Very professional and helpful
Whilst I have not made a purchase yet, the guy we spoke to in the Chester store today ( his name was Jack ) was so helpful and professional!
I was really impressed with his customer service. So much so I’ll try and feedback directly to his company, he’s a credit to them. I wish all staff were so helpful at other retailers

Dismal experience
Took a Macbook Pro in for a charging issue in Woking, received back a wiped machine. When I dropped it off I explained that backups hadn't been possible as it would only charge when powered off. It turns out their fix involved throwing away the old disk. At NO POINT was it explained that the disk would be wiped and indeed what was returned was an empty machine with a 4 year old OS. When asking the (frankly rude) staff why this had happened they said 'it's in the T&C's mate', which I got about 5 seconds to read whilst dropping it off. No apology, no explanation. AVOID this shop, take any repairs to a proper Apple store. Lesson learned.

Hi John,
While we understand the frustration that can come with data loss, we would like to clarify a few important points. Every repair carried out on smart electronic devices carries a potential risk of data loss. Our team is trained to inform every customer of this, and the details are clearly outlined in the terms and conditions, which every customer is asked to review and sign before any repair begins. These are also sent by email and included in the booking confirmation email.
Your MacBook was booked in with a no-power fault, which was assessed as a likely logic board failure. As explained at the time of booking, Apple’s authorised repair process for this type of fault involves replacing internal components, which unfortunately results in data loss.
Our team made you aware of this before proceeding, and you were given time to review and approve the terms and conditions on-screen, as well as a digital copy for your records. We do not limit customers to only a few seconds of review time, and we always strive to ensure that every customer fully understands the implications of their repair before work begins.
We regret that the outcome was not what you had hoped for, but we do ask that all interactions with our staff remain respectful, as rude or abusive behaviour is not tolerated.
Booked appointment at the store for…
Booked appointment at the store for this morning first appointment available to be told screen replacement could take all day no guarantee before 5 even after phoning two days prior to make sure and being told 2-3 hours wouldn’t have made the journey with my toddler to wait around for hours if I’d have known and just sent it off. Travelled from Worcester to Cheltenham so 40 minute drive maybe more and paid for parking all to be told this as I arrived. No point in making appointments or calling when it’s false information. Waste of my money and time.

Hi Laura,
We’ve already responded to your father’s review regarding the same visit, but we’d like to provide some additional clarity here as well. While we always aim to complete screen replacements within the time window communicated over the phone, same-day service is subject to parts availability, repair volume, and diagnostic results on the day — as explained in all our communications.
On that particular day, our technicians were managing unexpected circumstances, so we advised that the repair would be completed by the end of the day rather than within the usual timeframe.
We appreciate your understanding and would be happy to discuss this further. Please feel free to contact us at marketing@istore.co.uk.
2 hours now all day for a screen repair.
My Daughter had a booking for 10.20am in cheltenahm , booked online tuesday 21st of october , she also called the store to see how long the repair for a new screen would take, She was told 2 hours over the phone, arrived in store to be told it will take until 5pm today to fix and was tld theres other repairs infront of her, if you have a time slot why is this now all day repair,
if i had a time slot with An APPLE STORE they would get the job done in 2 hours ,
i also called the store today to check for a new screen and was again told it would take 2 hours and no mention takign all day ,
on your reviews its not the 1st time this issue has arrived, its time someone reviewed the repair process.

Hi Mark,
We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate the opportunity to provide some context.
Your daughter visited our Cheltenham store for a screen replacement appointment. While we always aim to complete iPhone repairs as quickly as possible, turnaround times may vary. On that particular day, our technicians were facing unexpected circumstances, so we explained that the repair would be completed by the end of the day rather than the usual timeframe.
We appreciate your and your daughter's frustration, especially after being advised over the phone that screen replacements typically take around 2 hours. That timeframe is an average estimate based on standard repair flow, but it can vary depending on parts availability, staffing levels, and diagnostic results on the day. We are transparent about this in both our website information and the appointment confirmation emails.
Our assistant manager later spoke with a gentleman who called to enquire about display stock, but unfortunately, the call ended before we were able to fully explain the situation.
We’d like the opportunity to discuss this directly and resolve any remaining concerns. If you’d like to get in touch, please contact us at marketing@istore.co.uk.
