🫣📣PSA for all my dear clientele and anyone else with ears to hear.

Unless you:
- have a LOT of disposable income
- insurance
- a backup phone
- the time and patience to deal with the inevitable down time of device replacement

⚠️🚨DO NOT buy the iPhone Duo. Frankly, unless you are fine being an overpaying guinea pig, don't buy 1st gen anything, but specifically foldable phones... They aren't "there" yet.

I know, it looks super cool 🫪. I myself had a Galaxy Fold 3 that I got just because it was a really good price 2nd hand, and it was fun for the 3 weeks that it was functional. But then like they ALL do, the screen crapped out. It's in a drawer now because despite owning a repair shop, fixing it would cost me well beyond what it's worth, and it would happen again soon enough.

At this early stage, it's a gimmick and a luxury. The kinks aren't worked out, the tech is still being developed and the parts are damn expensive.

If you must have one, make sure you're planning how youre going to cover regular several hundred dollar repair costs and factor that into the cost of ownership because neither Samsung or Apple are gonna be picking up the tab for you 💸💸💸👀

🌎 🤔 Anyone ever notice how weird the universe is? Storytime!

Received a call this morning from someone who had a black screen MacBook. A little while ago a guy came in with a MacBook matching that description I asked if he called this morning and he said yes, I took a look at the screen and it was pretty clearly cracked in the bottom left corner so he dropped that off for repair.

The very next person not even 5 minutes later was a lady who had a MacBook with a black screen, she opened by telling me she had called this morning (🤷‍♂️). I take a look at the screen and it too has a crack in the display.

✅Same exact model (save for color)
✅Same exact damage
✅Same exact spot
Immediately back to back 🧐

This is hardly the first time too, it happens a lot. I call it the GTA effect, like if you've ever played the games, the engine will populate several copies of the same exact type of car all in one spot to save on processing power. 🚗🚗🚗 🏃

Anyone else ever notice frequent uncanny coincidences? What's up with that? Am I fixing "computers" from inside a "computer"? 🫪

Also, if anyone else has a cracked screen on the same type of Mac, bring it in, maybe I can get you all a bulk discount on the parts 😆

This one hurts... 😳

Money saving Pro-tip: ​OLED laptops look fantastic, but replacing their paper-thin glass screens will cost you 2-3x more for parts💸.

Standard LCDs average $60-$150

This screen? $500 💸 Thats just for the part 🫣

If you're accident-prone or live in a hazard zone, save your wallet and stick to LCD.

​Pro-tip: Sweep your hand over the keyboard before slamming it shut. Don't be the person who shatters a $500 screen over a stray crumb 🫡

Happy Easter everyone! Hope everyone has a great holiday. Just wanted to clarify for the record that this post from April 1st was in fact an AI generated farce (as was the followup comment showing water type pokemon extinguishing the blaze at the behest of the fire department), the shop is completely intact. Its crazy how convincing the technology has gotten, but yeah, just an edge-lord april fools post! 😝🙏 thank u tho to the people that expressed concern, apologies if i sparked any alarm

Well it was fun while it lasted. Those lithium ion batteries are no joke 🥸
