    Apple Watch Repair

    I just filled out a repair request form online for my Apple Watch. (Sounds like the Taptic Engine is going and no resets or fresh set ups would fix it).

    I was having problems, with a very slow hard drive. I looked up the prices to get replacement done, for a very standard 500 GB hard drive, with work included, it was 265. That was the cheapest option. So then I look at price for the original hard drive that I had on my Imac already, it was 50...

    iPhone 6 Battery Replacement with Cracked Screen?

    I am thinking of taking my IP6 to Apple for a new battery. There is a small crack in the glass (above the actual screen), does this matter? Will Apple still be able to install the new battery?? Thanks.
