What Our Customers Say
Software Repair FAQs
My iPhone is stuck on the Apple logo. Will I lose everything?
Not necessarily. We'll always try to repair it without erasing your data first. If a full restore is the only option, we'll explain before going ahead, and an iCloud backup means you can usually get everything back.
Can you unlock a phone if I've forgotten my passcode or Apple ID?
If you've forgotten your passcode, we can help restore your device, though this usually erases it. We can't bypass Apple ID, iCloud Activation Lock or Google account locks. These security features need the account owner's details, but we can help you recover access through Apple or Google.
Can you move everything to my new phone?
Yes, including photos, contacts, messages, WhatsApp chats and apps, even between iPhone and Android, and we can help with eSIM transfers too.
Can you get photos off a broken phone?
Often, yes. Depending on the damage, we may be able to do a temporary repair so your photos and files can be recovered. We'll assess it and give you an honest answer.
How long does a software repair take?
Many phone software fixes and set-ups are done the same day. Computer clean-ups and reinstalls usually take 1–2 working days.
Do you only help people who bought their phone from you?
Not at all. We're happy to help with any phone, tablet or computer, wherever you bought it.
