Gate-adjacent tech stop in Terminal 1
Just past security in Terminal 1, iStore is the airport’s Apple-focused tech shop for last‑minute cables and gadgets before your HOU departure. It sits on the concourse side, so you stay airside and close to your gate while you shop.
iStore carries Apple-branded accessories along with third‑party gear, so you can grab a Lightning or USB‑C cable, wall charger, or headphones without leaving Terminal 1. Expect airport pricing, not mall deals, but you save the 15–20 minutes a landside run would cost.
Stock typically centers on travel basics: earbuds that work on a 3.5 mm jack for older aircraft, portable battery packs that meet airline rules (usually under 100Wh), and slim laptop sleeves that fit under-seat personal item size. It’s geared toward quick fixes more than big-ticket hardware.
Hours generally track flight banks in Terminal 1, opening in the early morning wave and staying open into the evening departure push. If you’re catching one of the last flights of the night out of HOU, don’t assume late closing; swing by on the way to your gate rather than after you sit down.
Tip: bring the device you’re buying for and test the cable or headphones at the counter so you don’t find out at 35,000 feet that you grabbed the wrong connector.
