Checklist for choosing a reliable service center for repairing Apple equipment
Prices
Fair, not overpriced and not underestimated. There should be prices on the Service website. Necessarily! without asterisks, clear and detailed, where technically possible - as accurate and conclusive as possible.
Deadlines
If spare parts are available, up to 85% of complex repairs can be completed in 1-2 days. Modular repairs require much less time. The website shows the approximate duration of any repair.
Warranty and responsibility
A guarantee must be given for any repairs. Everything is described on the website and in the documents. The guarantee is self-confidence and respect for you. A 3-6 month warranty is good and sufficient. It is needed to check quality and hidden defects that cannot be detected immediately. You see honest and realistic terms (not 3 years), you can be sure that they will help you.
Stock
Half the success in Apple repair is the quality and reliability of spare parts, so a good service works with suppliers directly, there are always several reliable channels and your own warehouse with proven spare parts for current models, so you don’t have to waste extra time.
Free diagnostics
This is very important and has already become a rule of good manners for the service center. Diagnostics is the most difficult and important part of the repair, but you don't have to pay a penny for it, even if you don't repair the device based on its results.
Service repairs and delivery
A good service values your time, so it offers free delivery. And for the same reason, repairs are carried out only in the workshop of a service center: they can be done correctly and according to technology only in a prepared place.
Convenient schedule
If the Service works for you, and not for itself, then it is always open! absolutely. The schedule should be convenient to fit in before and after work. Good service works on weekends and holidays. We are waiting for you and working on your devices every day: 9:00 - 21:00
The reputation of professionals consists of several points
Company age and experience
Reliable and experienced service has been known for a long time. If a company has been on the market for many years and has managed to establish itself as an expert, people turn to it, write about it, and recommend it. We know what we are talking about, since 98% of incoming devices in the service center are restored. Other service centers trust us and refer complex cases to us.
How many masters in areas
If there are always several engineers waiting for you for each type of equipment, you can be sure: 1. there will be no queue (or it will be minimal) - your device will be taken care of right away. 2. you give your Macbook for repair to an expert in the field of Mac repairs. He knows all the secrets of these devices
Technical literacy
If you ask a question, a specialist should answer it as accurately as possible. So that you can imagine what exactly you need. They will try to solve the problem. In most cases, from the description you can understand what happened and how to fix the problem.
Openness of the service is the key to mutual trust and cooperation
Social media
If they are trying to organize a convenient service for you, you will definitely find the company on VK, Facebook, Instagram, and of course, on the Youtube channel. Here you can always, in an informal setting, look at the life of the service from the inside, evaluate examples of repairs, and communicate with specialists live. It’s convenient, and now you simply can’t live without social networks 
Faces of the company
Apple's seasoned experts and engineers are superheroes, but they don't wear masks. On the website and on social networks you can always see who you are going to, see photos and learn a little about the engineers and service managers. You can write to each of them, suggest or clarify something with someone with whom you have already communicated.
Reviews
You can understand a lot from reviews if you treat them correctly. The overall assessment of the service should be positive and high. But the rating cannot be maximum. Reviews can be both positive and negative, the main thing is that they respond to them, communicate, make decisions, help, that is, treat them like a human being.

Standard iOS update process
Which devices support iOS 12
In fact, this is a very important point. Here's an example from life.
Just yesterday, an acquaintance came up to me and said: “I heard that Apple has released some kind of iOS 12. But for some reason nothing comes to my iPhone 5. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? How to update?"
I had to explain that the iPhone 5 had already run out of new firmware. Alas.
Therefore, we carefully look at the compatibility plate. Here she is:
If your gadget is not there, then, unfortunately, iOS 12 is not available to you.
Finishing touch
When the iPhone 6s installs a new system, everything around you may seem to slow down. The animations are kind of jerky, programs open slowly. This is fine. The first time after the firmware is installed, the device adapts and deletes temporary caches. To speed up this process, you should force a reboot of the smartphone. To do this, simultaneously hold down the power and home buttons for a few seconds.

Apple took most of the profits from the smartphone market in 2021
For now, conclusions about the pros and cons of the platform can only be drawn by analyzing beta versions:
- iOS 12 beta 1 iPhone 5s immediately received positive reviews. During testing, an improvement in tactile functions was noted; now the fingers feel springy from the interface. The smartphone works faster, everyone was pleased with the gadget’s new ability to “guess” the owner’s wishes.
- iOS 12 beta 2 iPhone 5s takes into account the shortcomings, fixes major bugs, comparing the performance of iOS 10 and 12 is clearly in favor of the 2018 OS.
- iOS 12 beta 3 iPhone 5s at the startup stage was not as fast as iOS 11.4, but when working with the main applications: messages, email, camera, as well as social network clients, it showed impressive results: in 2 out of 3 cases it worked better than the previous software . Therefore, already in June, the majority of owners of the “five” expressed the desire to upgrade the iPhone 5s to iOS 12.
During the tests, all beta versions confirmed an ideal correlation with the fifth iPhone. No serious disruptions were noted; on the contrary, the speed of information processing in the old model has improved significantly.
Error "You must have the latest version of iTunes to update to iOS 12"
It would seem, what is there to describe here? Everything is already written in the text of the notification. Do you want iOS 12? Install the latest version of iTunes and you will be happy!
However, everything is not so simple...
Sometimes, even if you have updated iTunes correctly and already have the latest version installed, the program may glitch - it will still inform you that you need to update it.
Rave? Certainly. But, unfortunately, this happens.
What to do?
- Completely remove iTunes.
- To restart a computer.
- .
After this, we connect the iPhone or iPad and completely calmly update to iOS 12. There will be no more warnings.
Possible problems
Generally, updating a smartphone is easy, but some iPhone 6 and 6 Plus users are experiencing bugs and performance issues after upgrading to version 12. The main complaints are strange battery behavior (discharges very quickly), problems with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, with sound, with first and third level applications, as well as with touch ID. If these problems are not corrected after rebooting the device, you can always roll it back to the previous OS.
Some people are also wondering how to update iOS to iOS 6. This is currently not possible. The platform is supported today starting from version 8.0, even in the 6th generation smartphone.
Why update your smartphone?
Software updating of modern devices is a very important aspect of using a device. First of all, this concerns safety. Malware has also reached iPhones, so it is imperative to use the latest version of iOS. As a rule, in this case, Apple manages to “close the security holes” and users are not in danger.
Also an important advantage of the new OS are the functions and additions. Cupertino engineers and designers add innovations every year that will be useful to many. Developers are trying to implement these features into their applications as quickly as possible, which is why older versions of systems are no longer supported.
Sync with iTunes
Open iTunes. It should automatically launch on your computer. If not, manually open it.
Make sure iTunes has the latest software. You can check the Update tab in the Mac OS Store in MacOS. For Windows, you can use “Check for Updates” in the Help menu in iTunes. If you don't see it, check the Microsoft Store for updates. Sign in to your Apple account in iTunes if you're not already signed in.
