    HDD replacement under UK consumer law

    Hi I've got a 27-inch late 2013 iMac with 3TB Fusion Drive, and long story short, the HDD part of the drive has failed and hence needs replacing (I've attached a much longer explanation of how I got to this point at the end for those that are interested). I took it to my local Genius Bar today...

    i have only ever bought AppleCare a few times for different macs, I have never bought it for iPhones, iPads, Apple Watch/tv, I like the idea of it but it’s a large expense to add to the top price of apple gear.

    Will Apple Repair a Used iPhone 7 (A1660) Under Recall?

    A family member bought a "new" 32GB iPhone 7 for work on eBay for about a hundred dollars less than what Apple offers. Based on past experiences buying bootleg DVDs on eBay, I was skeptical. The phone arrives and once turned on, it starts bootlooping. It looked a little worn for being new so I...

    screen separates from housing

    Hi, I recently replaced my macbook pro screen. Now the screen is separating from the housing and it is leaking light to the side. At the moment it is manageable. What would you do?
