Central location
Avoid this iWant shop at Plzeňská 8, OC Nový Smíchov
I visited this store on 23/09/2025 at 09:00, the exact time it opens, with a MacBook Pro suffering from a bulging battery - a well-known fire and explosion hazard.
Despite the urgency:
- No staff were available to assist at opening time. The service technician arrived only at 09:40, 40 minutes after opening.
- When he finally arrived, he refused to examine the laptop, even though the battery bulge was clearly visible and the device had suddenly become unstable (it started to rock on the table as I typed on it the day before).
- He downplayed the risk, treating it as a common and insignificant issue.
- He refused to direct me to any other Apple-authorised service provider in Prague.
- His overall attitude was dismissive and unhelpful, completely ignoring the safety concern (he should have removed the battery immediately).
This kind of response is unacceptable for an official Apple reseller and service point. If you're experiencing a hardware emergency or expect professional assistance, I strongly recommend avoiding this location.
