Written by the company

I began fixing computers and consoles as a hobby 25 years ago for fun, just to see what made things 'tick'. It grew from that to what is now a full time endeavour. I'm passionate about ensuring a safe future for my son, concerned about the choices we make and the impact on the planet we live on. AppleCore Services tries to create the most efficient use of e-waste possible. Every part has a use, we throw away approximately one shopping bag of landfill waste every 10 weeks. Everything else is either re-used or recycled. I specialise in all things Apple- iPhones, MacBook, iMacs, iPads, Mac Pro, but can take anything you have to give. I can repair & recondition your tech and dispose of (or even recover) lost data.

Excellent service

Pablo was able to start working on my water damaged Mac within 20 minutes. He did a brilliant job and he recovered the data. He was a lifesaver! I would recommend him to anyone who uses Macs.

Very happy with my old MacBook Pro's…

Very happy with my old MacBook Pro's revival which stopped showing signs of life - it feels like a miracle! It's been fast and efficient service despite the unexpected problems with the hard drive and great communication throughout - very pleasant experience overall. I'm very grateful to the person who recommended Pablo's company to me and can highly recommend it to anyone who needs help with Apple products!

Thanks Maria! I'm delighted to help and look forward to hearing from you next time. There are often 'unexpected' moments in individual Mac repairs, but fortunately I've seen it all before and so can take the necessary steps to get it sorted ASAP, and ACAP! (As Cheap As Possible!)

Best place to get quality Mac support

Pablo is so clear and helpful and knowledgeable, I got a great deal and I know I’ll be back for more and recommending him to everyone.
Thank you thank you!

Hi Gal, thanks for the review! I love saving data- we can always buy another MacBook if it can't be saved, but data is very different. I'm so glad I could help in your case.

Thanks Suzanne, That's precisely what I aim to do in every case. I often direct prospective clients elsewhere if I think they can save money (a few times a week), and will only take on work if I know it to be the best option for those seeking help.

He’ll make you fall in love with your Apple products all over again...

Pablo is my ‘go to’ guy for all things Apple - he’s helped me with laptops, Mac minis, Pros - you name it. His special skill is getting a machine that you were ready to take to the dump and turning it into something you love to use... he’s speedy and not too expensive. Highly recommend!!

Cheers Roberta! I'm always happy to help, and offering 'loan' products is the least I can do. I know that clients don't want to be without access to everything their devices do, so a loan is always available for longer term repairs.

Saved my life! Macbook Pro repair

Every part of my experience with Pablo was just above and beyond. He diligently fixed my Macbook Pro that was completely dead. Eventually swapped out the logic board at an extremely reasonable price and didn’t charge me for previously saving the data (i’m an art director and have sooo much work on there) as it was all there on logic board swap. Recommend to many friends who have also used his service. My tech life feels safer with Pablo in it! Thank you endlessly.

No worries Steph! I'm always happy to hear from you, although my heart sinks when I realise it most likely means that you'll have to be paying for one of my services. Stay in touch, and stay well!

I had a problem with the charging port on my iPhone. I contacted Pablo who was more than happy to fit me in immediately.

Pablo explained there is a common flaw with my iPhone model and would let me know if this was the case.

The exchange was all covid secure.

He emailed me only 45 minutes later to let me know he had fixed the problem.
It turned out it was in fact from the common flaw.

A real honest guy!
I couldn’t recommend enough!

Hey Lilymae, yes, here's that iPhone charger port issue again! It's quick and easy to fix (very cheap too!) and in some cases I can do it 'while you wait'. Thanks for the review, it is appreciated!

OMG - what a star

OMG, Pablo was amazing! He called me back in 10 minutes, even though it was mid evening, he calmed down a panicking technophobe who thought he had lost his whole online facility, he calmly identified the problem and talked me through the solution and even when I lacked the necessary cable he told me exactly what to get. No fuss, no panic, nothing was too much trouble - and I’d happily have paid him double. Everyone with a computer should have Pablo on the end of their phone.

Excellent Efficient & Environmentally Friendly Service

At very short notice was looking for a Router one that used to be sold by Apple but was now discontinued and I was only seeing extortionate prices on eBay. I got into contact with Pablo not only was he able to source me the product, I was also able to pick up the same day! Very efficient and environmentally friendly!

Well, I can't take all the credit- it was quite a coincidence that I had that one in stock tbh! Nevertheless, I'm glad to have been able to get you what you needed as quickly as I did. All the best!
