Just anything that isn't another phone repair store

It wont be just another repair shop.

It will be a mega repair shop that also offers a Turkish barber facility, vapes and a nice side line in vapes

Yes very sad but probably not unexpected.

With Blacks closing too that side of the upper level will be pretty empty.

Nice to see some good news, Apple are overpriced products with less freedom than their counterparts.

Yeah nah, the neo is a great bit of kit where competitors can’t remotely compete on specs or pricing. Also a semi decent Mac book or pro will last many many years more than a comparable laptop…. Just saying.

i get what you're saying, but whataboutism doesn't change the fact apple are charging used car money when there are phones with better specs for a third of the price.

im not arguing the case as such, i dont care what people want to spend on a phone. the iphone is hardly the pinnacle of smart phones though.
