- unicornfinder 6y agoYou say that, from what I've experienced their support is far inferior in the UK to what you'd get in the US.
- sbierwagen 6y agoThe UK is a first world country? They're not in the EU.
- Simon_says 6y agoUK was aligned with the US in the cold war.
- lanevorockz 6y agoEU is the third world area to the south of the UK.
- HPsquared 6y agoNeither is the USA to be fair.
- jacobush 6y agoThe USA is losing a lot of first world esprit lately.
- dangelov 6y agoI had an MBP with a fried motherboard, out of warranty and paid for it to be replaced out of pocket (400 eur or so). Some months later Apple contacted me and WIRED money to my bank account to compensate the cost. This was for an Early 2011 MBP and they had GPU replacement program for it after a lot of reports about issues. All of this in North Macedonia, with no Apple stores (but the fix was done at an authorized reseller). To be honest I was kind of amazed they did that and definitely left a lasting good impression of them.
- csomar 6y agoGiven I have some hardware trouble with my current MBP. Can you tell me what the process for the refund is? (I'm being quoted $800 for a battery repair).
- ux-app 6y ago$800 for a battery??? how can a price like that be justified. I recently replaced the battery in my XPS13 myself for $90.
- ThePowerOfFuet 6y agoThere is no "battery repair" for $800. Can you give us more of the story please?
- csomar 6y agonew 2018 MBP battery can't be repaired and you have to replace the whole casing.
- ThePowerOfFuet 6y agoThe price of the battery is like $250 and it includes the whole top case. It's the exact same part where the price depends on the CompTIA failure code selected by the technician doing the work.
- behnamoh 6y agoYeah but the OP is talking about a 2011 MBP.
- jlokier 6y agoApple offers battery replacement at a fixed price for MBP at their service centres, and the price is $129-$199 in the US depending on which model. https://support.apple.com/mac/repair/service https://support.apple.com/mac/repair/service MacBook Pro Out of Warranty 16-inch MacBook Pro $199 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display $199 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display $199 15-inch MacBook Pro $129 13-inch MacBook Pro $129 17-inch MacBook Pro (Vintage) $179 MacBook Air Out of Warranty 13-inch MacBook Air $129 11-inch MacBook Air $129 MacBook Out of Warranty 12-inch MacBook $199
- sildur 6y agoOne of my laptop speakers broke. They replaced the entire top of the laptop. Didn't ask for an invoice because they saw the laptop was covered by warranty. I went to the apple support page, scheduled an appointment and had my laptop fixed at no cost in a week. This happened two years ago, in Argentina. The laptop was bought in the US.
- tasogare 6y agoThey replaced an iPhone 6 bought abroad (on their store) by a new one in an Apple Store when it had a problem (which didn’t even warrant remplacement and I think the problem was actually fixed but the staff nor I recognize it at that tule). Whole operating took less than half an hour. Honestly that’s what I call stellar service.
- fit2rule 6y agoThat's true. I live in a country that only recently got an Apple store. Prior to that, the 3rd-party Apple vendors were making a killing with upgrade costs and replacement parts and so on. Was a definite change in the local market when Apple Store arrived.
