Helpful Guides

Cracked screen? Do this first

  • Back up your phone right away.
  • Put on a screen protector or clear tape to stop glass from spreading.
  • Avoid pressing on the cracked area.
  • Bring it in. Most screens are fixed the same day.

Dropped your phone in water?

  • Turn it off right away and don't charge it.
  • Remove the case and SIM tray.
  • Skip the rice. It doesn't pull out moisture and can leave starch behind.
  • Bring it in as soon as possible for a cleaning.

Make your battery last longer

  • Lower screen brightness or use auto-brightness.
  • Turn on battery saver mode.
  • Avoid leaving your phone in a hot car.
  • If it dies fast or shuts off early, a new battery can help.

Phone won't charge?

  • Try a different cable and wall plug.
  • Gently clean lint out of the charging port with a wooden toothpick.
  • Restart the phone.
  • Still nothing? We can test and repair the port.

Moving to a new phone

  • Back up to iCloud or Google first.
  • Write down your passwords and turn off Find My iPhone before trading in.
  • We can help transfer your contacts, photos, and apps in the store.

Protect your phone

  • A good case and tempered glass screen protector prevent most damage.
  • Replace a cracked protector right away.
