Best Key West iPad repair service

Ever wondered why are companies like Apple so concerned about you not being able to repair your broken devices?

It's money and greed, according to popular belief, why companies oppose people being able to repair their own gadgets.

If your device breaks, you'll have to go out and get a new one. They have the opportunity to empty your wallet, and the company makes another sale, propelling the consumer capitalism engine along. It isn't just about money and greed, though.

Well, we know a little about the repair industry as someone who has spent years repairing iPads/iPhones and renowned as the best Key West iPad repair service.

If your device is broken, you're either a potential customer for a new one or a potential customer for an authorized repair center, both of which generate revenue (although for a company as large as Apple, that revenue is a drop in the bucket, it's still a lucrative market for third-party repair centers that are Apple authorized).

But instead of focusing on money coming in, consider money going out. Dealing with approved repair businesses with qualified technicians is far easier and less of a headache than guiding Jo Public through an iPhone repair with a chewed-up Philips screwdriver.

Companies will need to provide significantly different repair manuals to a competent professional than they would to someone who has never taken a product apart before. An expert could be satisfied with a sentence like "refitting is the reverse of removal," but a novice will need a step-by-step guide on putting something back together.

Then there's the issue of liability, and who is responsible when things go wrong. Modern electronics are difficult to disassemble, and much of this difficulty is an unintended consequence of people's desire for tiny and light items. While you can fit your entire head inside a large desktop computer, laptops demand dexterous fingers, and smartphones and tablets demand the use of tweezers and tiny probes to do tasks. Then there's navigating around glass and lithium-ion battery packs, as well as using sharp equipment, all of which provide many opportunities for harm and dismemberment.

 

Even if a company completely disavows any responsibility for someone getting a shard of glass in their eye, jamming a screwdriver into their femoral artery, receiving a heart-stopping zap of current, or having their eyebrows burned off in a lithium-ion explosion, such incidents can generate a lot of negative press.

The same goes for folks who make repairs with shoddy third-party parts or destroy sensitive components. If a tampered with gadget makes it's way downstream, it might cause a lot of negative press once more.

We're big supporters of people fixing their own stuff, but we've seen enough of disasters when someone tries to fix something, makes a giant mess of it, and then hands it off to someone else — me — to fix. People may cause a lot of havoc and turn simple tasks like replacing a battery or a screen into an expensive operation by using the incorrect tools.

It's sometimes not only easier, but also less expensive, to delegate these mundane tasks to an expert who does them on a daily basis. They have the tools and know-how to get the job done quickly.
