Just a quick note on some changes to Chapel Wireless’s service offerings. Trust us when we say that all of this is for the benefit of mankind. If it doesn’t appear to be to your benefit then we apologize. You will just have to believe us 
All of these changes are effective as of 5 seconds ago.
- We will no longer be offering any repair or replacement services for the original/ 2g iPhone. I love that device. It is slightly heavier and slightly narrower and the aluminum just feels good in your hand. It is no doubt the slickest first release of any recent piece of tech. The issue is that it is a $%&* to work on. It really is a case of “more trouble than it’s worth”. The cost of parts and intensity of labor put it in the Beyond Economical Repair category for the vast majority of consumers. If this causes you pain we apologize. Our open position has been to upgrade for some time now, we are just putting action to the sentiment.
- We are cutting the cost on nearly all repair and replacement services for the iPhone 3g. You can expect to pay an average of 20% less on almost all that we offer with the exception things like full transplants and water damage. Pricing will be up on the website shortly, but for example replacement of cracked glass is now under $100.00; a savings of over $20.00 and fully half of what you can expect to pay at an apple store. In addition, thanks to some innovative advances in tactics, we can get you out of the door in less than 5 minutes in most cases as opposed to 5 days with the genius bar.
- Chapel wireless will be stocked, locked, loaded and looking to execute on 3GS repairs within a week. Call us at 985.845.4800 or drop us an email for updates on the availability of those parts and repairs. The cost on 3GS repair services has yet to be finalized, but we will have that for you soon enough!
Big thanks to everyone through this little transition. Please feel free to contact us for any reason at all. We answer the phone
