2 hours now all day for a screen repair.
My Daughter had a booking for 10.20am in cheltenahm , booked online tuesday 21st of october , she also called the store to see how long the repair for a new screen would take, She was told 2 hours over the phone, arrived in store to be told it will take until 5pm today to fix and was tld theres other repairs infront of her, if you have a time slot why is this now all day repair,
if i had a time slot with An APPLE STORE they would get the job done in 2 hours ,
i also called the store today to check for a new screen and was again told it would take 2 hours and no mention takign all day ,
on your reviews its not the 1st time this issue has arrived, its time someone reviewed the repair process.

Hi Mark,
We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate the opportunity to provide some context.
Your daughter visited our Cheltenham store for a screen replacement appointment. While we always aim to complete iPhone repairs as quickly as possible, turnaround times may vary. On that particular day, our technicians were facing unexpected circumstances, so we explained that the repair would be completed by the end of the day rather than the usual timeframe.
We appreciate your and your daughter's frustration, especially after being advised over the phone that screen replacements typically take around 2 hours. That timeframe is an average estimate based on standard repair flow, but it can vary depending on parts availability, staffing levels, and diagnostic results on the day. We are transparent about this in both our website information and the appointment confirmation emails.
Our assistant manager later spoke with a gentleman who called to enquire about display stock, but unfortunately, the call ended before we were able to fully explain the situation.
We’d like the opportunity to discuss this directly and resolve any remaining concerns. If you’d like to get in touch, please contact us at marketing@istore.co.uk.
Easy to order and delivery was on time 👍

Hi Gracie,
We're very happy that your purchase with us was straightforward and we hope to see you again in the future.
I was very disappointed with iStore but now corrected.
I am very disappointed with iStore and the Woking Branch.
I booked my iPhone in for a Battery Service (new battery). I had to log into my Apple Account to make the booking which correctly identified my device as an iPhone 8. I made the booking for 10:00am this morning at iStore in Woking and I had a reminder from Albion at 9:00am via text message.
On arrival I was told they cannot change a battery for an iPhone 8 as it is too old. Fair enough but why accept the booking and why did Albion not say in his reminder message "WARNING, WE CANNOT FIT NEW BATTERIES FOR iPHONE 8s AND OLDER". This would have saved me a 30 minute drive there and back plus a £2.20 parking fee.
Not a happy customer. However, I am still happy with my iPhone 8, so why should I be forced to upgrade?
Update from iStore:
Thank you for your message, and I’d like to sincerely apologise for the confusion during your visit. Unfortunately, the store made a mistake regarding the information provided to you. It’s true that for older iPhone models, classed as 'vintage'. Apple no longer supplies the required replacement parts — however, in this particular case, we do in fact have an Apple battery for your iPhone 8.
To make up for the inconvenience and the unnecessary journey you made, we would like to offer you a free battery replacement at our Woking branch. Please let us know if you would like us to arrange this for a convenient time for you to return.
Thank you for your patience and understanding, and again, we’re very sorry for the trouble caused.
My iPhone now has a new battery and works fine.

Hi Chris, I'm sorry this occurred and it was obviously frustrating. Apple does not provide us with the information of why you are booking with us, something we have protested to them about for years.
The iPhone 8 is listed by Apple as "Vintage" (https://support.apple.com/en-gb/102772) and they no longer produce parts for this device. As an Apple Authorised Service Provider we can only get parts from Apple, this means we could not service your phone. Other non official channels maybe able to still replace your battery. We wish you all the best in getting your iPhone 8 back to running as normal again.

Hi Keane,
We’re sorry to hear about your recent visit. It appears that a misunderstanding occurred. We want to clarify that our team never accused you of intending to steal. We were simply explaining that all devices in store, including the Apple Watch Ultra, are secured with strict security measures due to recent incidents involving criminal activity. These measures are in place to protect both our customers and the products.
We understand that this may have affected your experience and regret that it made you feel uncomfortable.
I booked an appointment for a battery…
I booked an appointment for a battery replacement with IStore Bond St. Chelmsford on 15/09 for 20/09.
I arrived at 10:30 for my 10:40 appointment.
When I arrived a 'colleague' asked me if I had received their email.
Naturally I hadn't. I was walking from the car park to the store (about 10 mins) when the mail was sent at 10:13.
Of course I now know that they hadn’t got a battery in stock. They hadn’t ordered a battery. Indeed they apparently can’t order a battery unless I leave my phone with them for a couple of days.
When I express amazement at this the man I was speaking to said "That's how Apple want us to work".
Who is going to leave their phone for "Two or Three working days" to get a battery fitted.
They had a week to tell me all this and save me a journey.... but didn’t.
Not even a "sorry about that".
The booking with Apple says "same day service by the way".
Thanks for your response. It would all make sense except that when I voiced my complaint about the service you replied to say that...
"I can get you booked in and ensure there is a battery there awaiting your arrival".
I really did appreciate that prompt response and the offer to ensure better service. It suggests to me that the problem with the service may be just with the Chelmsford store rather than the ethos of the company as a whole.
I think you may be as disappointed as I was and I hope this helps you improve the service in Chelmsford.

Hi Paul,
We’d like to clarify a few points from your review.
Same-day repairs are not guaranteed, and this is clearly explained on our website. They are always subject to two things: the results of our diagnostics and the availability of parts. While we do aim to keep common parts in stock, this cannot be guaranteed for every device.
In your case, Apple’s system allowed you to book a “same-day” slot, but it does not take into account local stock levels or Apple’s policy that certain parts can only be ordered once a device has been checked in. This is why you were advised that your phone would need to be left with us until the part arrived.
We think it is unfair to suggest that the lack of a same-day repair was due to negligence or unwillingness to help — we must work within Apple’s authorised repair process and part supply chain.

Do not buy off this company they package old products and sell them off as new …I purchased an Apple Pencil it was packaged so it looked new ..But it was broken and also bent …I bought a new one from curry’s and they only refunded half the money ….rip off I have e mailed them several times

Hi Rach, can you please triple check the domain url you’ve bought from please and edit your review with it?
Because we here at istore.co.uk are an official Apple channel partner and only sell new products as new. Furthermore we have no record of a purchase from yourself and your order reference does not match one we use. So I'm afraid you haven’t purchase from us.
We actively work with Apple to share intelligence on counterfeit products and organisations imitating us so would like to hear about your purchase. Please reach out to us with details at webshop@istore.co.uk.
Update: We humbly request you remove your review as it is not about us and this review affects us when we have done nothing wrong as you have not purchased from us.
Perfect!
Perfect!! The service was amazing, the lady was super nice she helped me choose the right product

ISTORE NORTHAMPTON
GROSVENOR CENTRE
Booked an appointment with this place on Friday. The appointment was for the following Monday. For a battery replacement I contacted the store to confirm my appointment and to make sure the part was in stock and available for same day service as I was commuting 45 minutes.
This was confirmed.
I arrived today 15 minutes before my appointment . To be told that the service was not able to take place on the same day , and that they were closing in half an hour.
I proceeded to say that I confirmed everything with them prior to this appointment. 3 days has passed and nobody took it upon themselves to contact me and let me know that the service would not be able to happen.
The customer service was horrendous, the guy was rolling his eyes and acting so unbothered. There was no customer care there whatsoever.
I left work early to make this appointment and commuted 45 minutes.
It’s disgusting.
They then proceeded to call security to get me removed. I’m a female with a child. No threat in the slightest.
The most unprofessional customer service iv ever dealt with.
They Give such a bad name to APPLE.
I don’t recommend using them at-all.
Iv contacted apple customer care and taken it higher.

Hi Natasha,
We’d like to clarify the circumstances around your visit.
You arrived with your family for a late-afternoon battery replacement appointment on a bank holiday, when our store had shortened opening hours. While the part was available, we explained that due to the timing of your booking, the repair could not be completed before closing, and instead would be ready first thing the following morning. We appreciate that this was not the outcome you had expected, and we acknowledge that clearer communication ahead of your visit would have helped set the right expectations.
Unfortunately, the situation escalated when your father became verbally aggressive towards a member of our team, including shouting, hitting the table, and later directing personal remarks towards both staff and shopping centre security. Despite repeated attempts to calm the conversation and offer alternative solutions, this behaviour left us with no choice but to involve security to ensure the safety and well-being of our staff and other customers.
While we recognise that the repair timing caused frustration, our colleague remained professional throughout, and this is also supported by CCTV footage and feedback from customers who witnessed the incident. We cannot condone abusive behaviour towards our staff under any circumstances.
