Sour Apple Repair, LLC

Sour Apple Repair replaced my cracked iPhone screen and the screen later ended up losing sensitivity to swipes / touch with no trauma or damage to cause the loss of functionality. It was not a primary phone and I used it to listen to music and...sometimes to replay treasured, accidental voice recordings of someone dear who passed away. Because of the treasured content, I need to get it fixed again and have been told the issue with my screen is likely due to subpar replacement parts versus more expensive components that look the same as the cheap stuff but actually last. Turns out going to a name brand repair shop that you can count on to use the best replacement parts is the best bet for a repair that lasts. Maybe not a big deal if one repairs or replaces their phone too often to notice degrading screen sensitivity....but a big deal if it's an old "keeper" phone that you want to repurpose and have reliable usability from for a long time. Also, there are 3 "bubbles" that have developed over time in edges of the display area of screen...one's a little smaller than a thumbnail and the other 2 are pea-sized. These were not "caused" by damage or extreme use...they just "appeared" over time. Definitely not OEM quality parts. Long lasting repair only matters if you keep and use devices a long time...so to some this might not even be a factor...but if it is to you, part quality matters long term.

I highly recommend Sour Apple. I found them after needing to get my Attrix HD phone working again. Another repair shop in Bryan that is much larger and more visible said we needed a new battery, that we had burned it up because we left it on the charger longer than 3 hours. They ordered a new battery and said they would call in 3 or 5 days when it came in and it would cost $65. I waited one week and still no battery, so I purchased a battery online for $35, expedited shipping, and took it to the guys at Sour Apple. They noted the connectors were broken on the original battery and installed the new one for free saying it was such a little job they hated to charge for that. In a little over an hour we picked up my phone which works great now. And ten days later there is still no word from the other repair shop. The guys at Sour Apple are great and now they have my future business. They are a little hard to find unless you see their sign because the shop is in the back of Fatty's Tobacco, but it's definitely worth looking them up.

Called . They said to bring it by when convenient. It would be repaired in an hour. It was and at a reasonable price.
