Opposite domestic gates in T1, Iplace is REC’s Apple-style stop
Iplace sits airside in Terminal T1, near several domestic departure gates, and feels like a shrunken Apple Store focused on last-minute fixes and accessories. You’ll see the bright white logo from the main concourse walkway, about a 2-minute walk from most Azul and Gol gates on the domestic side.
The shop concentrates on Apple and Apple-compatible gear: Lightning and USB‑C cables, power bricks up to 30W, basic earbuds, and mid-range Bluetooth headphones usually priced in the R$150–R$600 band. It also carries screen protectors and slim cases for current iPhone models, with a smaller rack for older devices like the iPhone 11 and 12.
Opening hours typically track bank of flights in T1, with doors open from roughly 06:00 to 22:00 on busy days, and slightly shorter hours on slower weekday evenings. Staff usually handle quick sales in under 5 minutes, which is helpful when your boarding pass shows a 30–40 minute countdown.
Stock leans toward mainstream accessories, not pro tech: you’ll find plenty of standard charging cables and basic power banks in the 5,000–10,000 mAh range, but fewer niche items like USB‑C hubs or larger 20,000 mAh bricks. Prices run higher than Recife city malls, often by R$20–R$80 per item, but beat being stuck on a 3-hour LATAM leg with a dead phone.
One practical tip: before you tap to pay, ask the staff to open the box and test the cable or charger on your actual phone or laptop; that 60-second check by the counter can save you a return walk from your gate if a connector is loose or the wattage is off.
