Strictly Apple Is Now Strictli: Same Trusted Team, Same Grove City Roots

Strictly Apple Is Now Strictli: Same Trusted Team, Same Grove City Roots

Strictly Apple Is Now Strictli

Same owner. Same Grove City, Ohio team. Same 1-year warranty and BBB-accredited trust. If you came looking for Strictly Apple — you're in exactly the right place.

If you've been searching for Strictly Apple and landed here, take a breath — nothing was lost, and nobody disappeared. Strictly Apple is now Strictli. Same people, same phone number, same Grove City storefront, same commitment to quality that made Strictly Apple a household name in Central Ohio. All we changed was the name on the door. Here's the full story of what happened to Strictly Apple, why we rebranded to Strictli, and — most importantly — everything that stayed exactly the same.

What happened to Strictly Apple?

Our story started back in 2016, when our owner Landon opened the doors to a small local tech shop. Over the years that shop grew into Strictly Apple — the name Central Ohio came to trust for expert iPhone, iPad, and MacBook service. You trusted Strictly Apple with your devices, your data, and your stories.

On June 27, 2025, we made a big decision official: Strictly Apple became Strictli. It was a bittersweet day, but it came down to one simple truth — our customers needed us to do more than just Apple. The name "Strictly Apple" had served us proudly, but it no longer described everything we do for you.

The short version: Strictly Apple didn't close, didn't get bought out, and didn't go anywhere. We simply grew up and changed our name to Strictli — the same team you've always trusted, now serving all your tech.

The same people who built Strictly Apple

This is the part that matters most: the Strictli team is the Strictly Apple team. Same owner. Same technicians. Same US-based support crew answering your emails from right here in Ohio. When you reach out to support@strictli.tech, you're talking to the very same people who stood behind the Strictly Apple name for years.

The trust markers that defined Strictly Apple didn't just carry over — they got stronger:

  • BBB Accredited Business — the same commitment to transparency and doing right by you.
  • 1-Year Warranty on every certified device we sell.
  • 9+ years in business, founded in 2016 and still going strong.
  • Real Grove City, Ohio location — you can still visit us in person.
  • 2,000,000+ followers and a verified-seller track record across major platforms.

Why we grew beyond "Strictly Apple"

We will always love Apple — a certified iPhone or MacBook is still the heart of what we do. But "Strictly Apple" had a built-in limit right there in the name, and you told us you needed more. You had a Samsung Galaxy in your pocket, an Android tablet for the kids, and old devices piling up in a drawer. So we became Strictli — a name that keeps our strict commitment to quality while opening the door to everything you actually own.

Today, as Strictli, we do more than Strictly Apple ever could:

  • Certified refurbished devices across Apple and Samsung — iPhones, MacBooks, iPads, Apple Watches, and Galaxy phones.
  • Trade-in & buyback for your old tech, with real value and responsible handling.
  • Recycling & data destruction for individuals, schools, and businesses.

Same strict standards. A whole lot more tech. Still #TheBestForLess.
