Having an iPhone screen replacement is one of the most devastating experiences one may have with his or her iPhone. For such a nice piece of gadget, Apple was not able to have durability and toughness for the iPhone high on its list. It is not a really durable phone with anti-shock properties. It is all about coolness and aesthetic design.
Even if Apple asserts that their iPhone’s glass on its screens are tough, we can’t help but realize that we have lots of people who have dents, scratches, cracks and that unsightly spider web-like impact imprint on the screen of their iPhones. Is Apple pulling our leg?Carrying an iPhone makes you think that you are carrying glass – one incorrect impact and the glass screen will be shattered.While it is true that the iPhone is fragile, we should also adjust and handle it delicately. What adds insult to injury is that the iPhone does not even have an insurance policy. For such an expensive phone it does not hurt to consider this among the top managements.
Apple charges a high fee for fixing their phones.If you want them to have your iPhone screen changed, be ready to shell out a whopping $250. Now before you users are up in arms, one should use common sense as to why they are charging that much. There are a lot of things to consider, such as the technological expertise of the Genius personnel, the delicateness of the procedure, the material that he is using and of course, the excellent customer service.
Now before you look out for the next option of fixing it yourself remember that if you touch anything or have someone else open your iPhone then the warranty is going to be void. Apple’s Geniuses should be the ones to repair the phone so that there won’t be any void of warranty.It takes around 10 minutes only for the experienced cell phone technician. Mostly people can replace their touch screens but end up with the screen unable to function. Receptors are hard to match too with the LCD’s different functioning areas on the screen.
If you are having doubts, you might go with the $250 after all.But then again another question comes to mind: If I have it repaired and I can get a latest iPhone for just a little more, then is it not more practical to get a new iPhone instead?With this in mind, the preference will depend on the iPhone’s owners.
But the biggest question of all is that why are there people who get their iPhones replaced with a new one while some are being denied the same treatment?Even in mails and letter correspondence, some people get fortunate and their iPhones get replaced within 5 working days while some are not. Why are there managers who give the iPhone for free regardless of warranty while some just would not give in to your requests? Does it depend on the area or on the nice Apple manager?
When a Genius offers you help, tell them about your screen and they “might” replace your iPhone with a new one. You tell them that your screen interface is broken or cracked and you can’t interact with your phone and that your phone is still under warranty. Depending on the way you talked to that Genius or to a supervisor, or whether there is just a nice guy in that business center, you can get a replacement iphone for free!
To avoid further expenses and repairs, just take care of your iPhones.Cloth it and cover it. Whether you get lucky or not, we all hope that Apple will finally clear the rules and guidelines and fix their loopholes in serving their customers so that going through an iPhone screen replacement procedure will not be dependent on chance.
