It was showing the recovery mode screen at times, other times it was stuck in a loop repeating Apple logo, horizontal flicker, dark. I was very worried about what I may have lost, and I couldn't imagine waiting to get home to try to get it fixed, because phones have become such a necessary part of air travel. I had done some googling on the hostel's computer and it looked potentially hopeless but I took my phone to iFixIt just in case, because of the great reviews they had. Within a few minutes of me getting to the store, the attendant opened the phone and showed me my Home Screen again! What a wonderful sight! He said that he had seen this situation before and it was due to moisture getting in through that horizontal opening at the top of the screen (in this case probably from putting phone inside bra on a very hot excursion), and he could fix it by swapping out a part. I was shocked, as none of my googling had even mentioned this as a possibility. He gave me the option of letting him try to restore the part and preserve facial recognition, which would take a few hours. I said sure, and walked around for a while. As it happened, this was not possible, but I got my working phone back! I couldn't have been more surprised or pleased. I highly recommend this store! Thank you, iFixIt!

The location is great, overlooking Plaça de Catalunya, you can't miss the large Apple logo. The store is modern and comfortable and features everything you'd expect to find from a large standalone Apple Store in a big city - it features the latest Apple Tech from iPhone to iPad, from MacBooks to Apple Watches, as well as a "Today at Apple" section as well as plenty of places to sit down, which is handy if you want to relax for a little while sightseeing, or simply to charge your phone and hop on the WiFi. It is set over more than one floor, so it can be a little tricky to work out the layout at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's nothing to worry about. I didn't find the staff at this particular location to be as helpful or friendly as other Apple locations on both my visits in 2017 and 2024. 4*

Being lost in the area, I called in this store to ask for directions and I was rudely treated by a member of staff, who barely acknowledged me let alone helped me, my friend is actually an Orange customer while in Barcelona so they should have done more to assist as up until 2010 or 2011 or so, Orange were actually a mobile network in the UK, before they merged with T-Mobile to create EE, since taken over by BT. It was interesting for me to be in an Orange store again after many years, they seemed to stick with the similar white and orange theme from their logo. The store basically does what it requires in terms of size, yet it isn't a huge store and I'd even say rival phone network Vodafone's store next store to this one is larger. Due to the rudeness I was dealt with by a staff member here, I really feel this certainly isn't a nice place to go, even if you want a new phone contract, the store its-self seems much poorer around than other branches of rival chains such as Vodafone too, who tend to have newer, more modern stores with a focus around transparency and glass, because of this I sadly feel this Orange store deserves a single one star.

Previamente, el soporte de Apple ya había realizado pruebas y verificado con vídeos que la calidad era claramente deficiente. Incluso comparé en las mismas condiciones con un iPhone 15 Pro, donde la diferencia era más que evidente. A pesar de toda esta información, en tienda se limitaron a insinuar que podía ser un problema de configuración, algo que ya había descartado tras seguir todas las indicaciones del propio soporte. La única "solución" que me ofrecieron fue restablecer el dispositivo de fábrica, algo que perfectamente podría haber hecho desde casa sin necesidad de desplazarme. Me fui sin ninguna solución, con el mismo problema y con la sensación de que no se quiso analizar el caso en profundidad. El dispositivo tiene solo tres meses y, aun así, se descarta cualquier reparación porque "las pruebas salen bien", ignorando completamente la evidencia aportada. Lo más frustrante es que finalmente he tenido que gestionar yo mismo la recogida y reparación a través de Apple, algo que esperaba que se resolviera directamente en tienda. Como creador de contenido, dependo del iPhone para trabajar, y esta situación me está afectando directamente a nivel profesional. Muy decepcionado con la atención recibida y la falta total de implicación para dar una solución.

**December 2022: Wednesday Afternoon Visit**…read more I've finally arrived at the airport and it was time for me to change my sim card so that I could experience Europe without my carrier's international rates. Located inside the lobby of the arrivals Tech and Fly is a small shop with lots of gadgets that you might have forgotten at home as well as sim cards. My friend and I each bought the 45€ package which gave 240GB in Spain, which I'm told is quite a bit and unlimited local phone calls in Spain, . I think think this package is good for three months, which should be great if you're planning to stay awhile, but at the very least is cheaper than asking my own carrier to give me a one month international rate.
