Have a friend's older Iphone XS Max that has a few issues, silent mode switch doesn't work.

Wanting to get someone to look at it and replace any parts if it is possible.

Can you recommend anyone in Auckland? Live West atm, work CBD area.

How old is the XS Max?
Be under 3 years wouldn't it?

What about getting Apple to repair it under CGA?

End of September 2018 for xs max, if you bought on/near release date. About half a year left before it’s 3 years old.

I’ve had two good repairs done at iRepair on Rosebank Road.

Cheers,

Agree, that phone wouldn't have been cheap new and it should last longer than 2 & 1/2 years.

Thanks for the replies, Once I’ve seen the phone I’ll ask my friend about taking the matter to the DT. Failing that will look up the recommended repairer.

Shouldn’t be any need to do that, just call apple support and explain the situation and mention our consumer laws. They’re usually pretty good and will provide an exception so it can be taken to an Apple Authorised Service Provider who will see that in the system when they look up the serial number.
Or it can be shipped back to apple if there’s not an aasp nearby.
