nostr:npub1hvzjvzfmclu5l5zk65fxye5cgt7e0qvs6rcn60z72v9hy79mmpzq4qmle9 Do you have AppleCare+ or is it out of warranty?
Depending on the capabilities of the Apple Store you bring it to, many repairs can be completed the same day. It'll depend on what's wrong, which model you have and how well-stocked with service parts and well-staffed with trained service people they are.
They will tell you at the time of your appointment whether they can fix it in house or need to send it out.
Apple *does* have a loan program for long-term service situations.
