Once there, a "Genius" will answer all your technical questions and try with you to find a solution to your problem.
If your device requires a small repair , it can even be carried out on site as soon as possible. For heavier operations, the Genius will fix with you the modalities of the intervention (duration of immobilization of your iPhone, details of the repair, possible costs, etc.)..
