Actually just dealt with the shittiness of Apple store repair fuckery this past weekend. My son’s iphone 6 which I bought for him last summer (at $199 from AT&T) is not a year old yet and under full warranty. The home button stopped working and the screen seemed to be screwed up. Brought into the store and they said they would replace it free of charge since it was clearly malfunctioning.
Come back an hour and get this…
“We found active water inside the phone, we cannot repair it the warranty is void. You can buy a replacement for $299”
My reply was “But it didn’t get any where near water and what evidence are you showing me that it has water in it?”
“Our technicians have confirmed it. You want to buy the replacement or not?”
“But that is a full $100 more than the price I paid at AT&T?! and this is still under warranty!”
Fuck you Apple.
