Welcome to the family New Plymouth iRepair! Phillip has recently acquired this highly-rated business and will be running it alongside MacTorque. Be sure to give their page a like - and pop in to meet the team for all your mobile phone/device repair needs.

!!!BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!! Jacob Meads has recently sold the business, and this week we welcomed our new Managing Director and Owner Phillip Malcolm to the store. From a day-to-day point of view we still have the same fantastic service - our friendly staff Bailey and Italo are still in store to look after all your repair needs, and Phillip will be in store periodically as well. Many of you may know Phillip already from his current business MacTorque, but for those of you who don't here's a quick summary about him:

Certified Macintosh Technician Phillip Malcolm is born and raised in New Plymouth, started his business MacTorque in 2010, and has spent over 25 years using Apple products, with 5 of those working for and managing the former New Plymouth MagnumMac Store (now Oobe). An avid musician of 20 years, outside of work Phillip teaches music, and involves himself heavily in theatre as a Musical Director and Conductor, and is studying towards a degree in Aviation Management. He is also a seasoned world traveller with a penchant for Europe, cuisine, culture, cars, aviation, fine wine and coffee!

Welcome to the iRepair team Phillip, and a huge thanks to Jacob for building up iRepair from the start to what it is today. We all wish you well for the future!

iOS 14 is out today! Ensure you have a current backup of your phone either on iCloud, or by connecting to iTunes and backing up to your computer before you upgrade. Past major upgrades have sometimes turned into headaches for our clients and a backup ensures an easier recovery if a factory reset or clean install is required. Give us a shout if you require any assistance or advice in upgrading.

iOS 14 features reimagined iconic phone experiences, updates to the apps you use every day, all-new App Clips, new privacy measures, and more.

COVID-19 Update: As we are now in Level 3 and heading to a Level 4 lockdown, we will not be conducting any onsite or MacTorque Studio in-office appointments for at least the next 4 weeks.

We will try to support you as best we can - possibly remotely depending on the problem, so please ensure you have the latest version of TeamViewer downloaded and installed from http://teamviewer.com so we can screen share to you. Alternatively you may wish to drop your device at the doorstep if needing urgent repair. Parts supply and availability will no doubt be limited. Please book your remote screen sharing or device drop-off appointment on our website at http://mactorque.co.nz

We also have a couple of second-hand iMac desktop computers for sale if you are needing additional devices in your home or business. These will be sanitised before purchase for your peace of mind.

Please send us a message here on Facebook or email [email protected] if you require any assistance.

Take care, stay home, use this time to rest, and keep well!
