It was love at first drop. Until it wasn’t. Let’s set the scene. You’ve just unboxed your sleek new iPhone 14. It’s shiny, it’s perfect, it’s basically your soulmate. You’re holding it like a newborn baby. You’re promising it the world: protective case, gentle handling, zero bathroom selfies. Then, one fateful day, gravity swipes right. […]

Spoiler: They’ll happily take your cracked Samsung. Your wallet, not so much. Let’s imagine this scenario. You walk into Rogers or Bell with your Samsung Galaxy. You’re pumped. You’re trading it in. You’ve already pictured yourself strutting out with the shiny new model, smugly sipping an iced coffee like the future is yours. Then you […]

Spoiler alert: It’s not going to “get better on its own.” Let’s play a game. It’s called: “That’s Not a Crack, That’s Character.” That’s what you said the first time you dropped your iPhone on the Tim Hortons parking lot pavement, right? You picked it up, blew off the gravel, looked at the spiderweb line […]

Breaking news from the Department of Gravity: iPads don’t bounce. Not off kitchen tiles, not off minivan seats, not off cottage decks at Wasaga. (Yes, we’ve seen all three. Yes, in the same week.) If your tablet now looks like modern art in a million tiny glass shards, take a deep breath. This is fixable. […]

No lights, no beeps, no startup chime. Just silence, like the console decided to fake its own death and retire early. […]

Here’s a cruel little joke Apple (and other phone makers) played on all of us: “Hey, let’s make the back of the phone out of glass too. You know, so when it drops, there are two sides that can shatter.” Genius. Somewhere, Jony Ive is sipping tea, chuckling about your cracked iPhone back glass while […]

Every town has its legends. Some have haunted houses. Some have that one sketchy diner nobody admits to eating at. Barrie? We have a phone graveyard. Don’t believe me? Come by our shop and peek in the back drawer — it’s where dead phones go to rest. Cracked screens, drowned Samsungs, Pixels that died mid-update, […]

Imagine this: A dorky gamer named Dave is deep in an all-night gaming marathon. He’s sweating, not just from the intensity of the boss fight, but because his console is practically doubling as a space heater. The PlayStation 5 next to him sounds like a jet engine prepping for takeoff, and Dave’s friends joke that […]

The Day Your Photos Went Abstract Remember when your iPhone used to take crystal-clear pics that made your cousin’s Android shots look like they were taken on a potato? And now? Every time you try to snap a photo, it looks like Picasso himself painted your cat with his left foot. Blurry, distorted, double-vision vibes. […]

Let’s set the scene: It’s Saturday night, the kids are begging for Mario Kart, you’ve got a bowl of popcorn ready, and the family Switch is supposed to save the day. You press the power button and… nothing. Dead. Black screen. It won’t charge in the dock, it won’t charge with the cable, and suddenly […]
