Why iPad Repair Might Be a Cheaper Option than Upgrading

Posted by Pimp My Gadget on April 1st, 2017

In this age of throwaway technology and instant gratification, most people immediately think about replacing their malfunctioning gadgets instead of having them repaired. But replacement may not be the cheapest option if the gadget in question is a pricey iPad. In many cases, iPad repair is more practical and affordable than upgrading or buying a new one.  

Repairing iPad Water Damage 

Did you accidentally drop your iPad into the pool? Replacing it might be out of the question not only because of money, but more so because of all the memories stored inside it. You can try the DIY route and put your iPad into a container filled with uncooked rice, but this probably won’t fix your iPad completely—it’s just going to leave you with damp rice grains. So here’s a better idea: Have your iPad repaired. It is definitely cheaper than buying new one or upgrading to the latest model. 

Repairing other iPad Damage 

If your iPad only sustained minor damage—such as a faulty camera, wonky speakers, or malfunctioning buttons—then it is certainly still cheaper to get it repaired than have it upgraded. An upgrade would cost you hundreds of dollars and means losing most (if not all) your data. When you choose the repair route, you will likely spend less than half of what it would cost to replace your tablet. 

How much do iPad Repairs Cost, Exactly? 

Some online repair shops offer instant quotation online so you could gauge how much the repair is going to cost. And yes—a good repair shop can certainly resuscitate your iPad back to life after water damage. Search online and choose a store that combines trained professionals, specialized equipment and quality parts with warranty (some offer 6 months warranty) for an excellent service at affordable prices. 

If you’re in a hurry, then choose a repair shop that has a pick-up and delivery system plus a quick turnaround time of 1-2 days for maximum efficiency. Also, choose a repair shop with cheap (if not free) shipping with trusted carrier companies. Lastly, if you are making transactions online, ensure that the repair shop is protected with SSL Protection. This safeguards whatever data goes between your computer and the shop—including your credit card details.
