If you need tech help with your Apple product, Best Buy might be able to help out.
Apple has announced that it has partnered with Best Buy to offer certified repairs at every one of its nearly 1,000 locations in the United States. According to the release, Best Buy’s Geek Squad now has nearly 7,600 newly Apple-certified technicians that can make same-day iPhone repairs and service other products. Best Buy stores will use official Apple parts and their repair work will be backed by Apple.
Apple has been under pressure to reduce its backlogs, wait times, and reservations for repairs at its Apple Store locations. According to the company, the partnership will make for more than 1,800 third-party Apple Authorized Service Providers in the U.S., thereby amounting to three times the locations three years ago.
Apple has stated that eight out of ten Apple customers will now be within 20 minutes of an authorized service provider.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
