I’ve tried the pixel 7 pro and it felt cheap with camera bug that force closes after update. Returned it for the s22 plus but the battery was terrible and returned it for the 14 plus.

Love the widget! What one is it?

The iPhone shouldn’t take more than it needs though?

> I was just nervous that it might mean nothing or they’d say “well you got AppleCare+ and spoke to a support agent the same day, clearly you’re trying to get one over on us.”

Nah. Dust inside the camera assembly with no other apparent structural damage is clearly manufacturer defect. In practicality, Apple sells on both volume and price point so they’ll likely just eat the cost as a surprise and delight unless it’s just blatantly obvious. And you didn’t actually do anything.

Just go in and tell them what’s up. “hey, I’ve had this phone a minute. Always been careful and it lives on its case. But I think I have dust inside the camera. This should be covered under warranty?” Bring your receipt or proof of purchase of you have it just in case, but this shouldn’t prove a hassle.

It’s a good excuse to get yourself out for dinner and a movie. Go for it.

It doesn’t but you can „accidentally“ drop it on the ground until the display is cracked.

I’ve got 2 or 3 Apple stores within reasonable distance. I’ll try and see what they can do. Hopefully I can book multiple appointments. I know years ago you couldn’t even be seen without one.

Depends how much you like the phone

I have a 13 mini which seems to have better battery life than the 12 mini. Though still not as good as larger phones.

I really like it. My only complaint is I have a harder time typing on it without mistakes.

No, I was going to buy it anyway. I was just nervous that it might mean nothing or they’d say “well you got AppleCare+ and spoke to a support agent the same day, clearly you’re trying to get one over on us.” But I don’t know how it works for defects.

The phone is barely 1.5 months old. I take extremely good care of it, and half the time I have a Pixel 7 Pro on my line instead, so it doesn’t get much use. Besides, the nature of my current job prohibits any electronics from being anywhere near our work area anyway.

I’d say the phone gets maybe 2-4 hours of use a day if that, and splitting my time with my P7P, you can see that it gets basically no real use at all. It sits in a drawer mostly, unfortunately. To paint a better picture, I have to charge it every 3-4 days. Maybe 2 if it’s getting heavier than normal usage…

At this point what “fitness band” isn’t a smartwatch?

What they say online for delivery does not 1:1 reflect stock at any given store. It’s worth a shot to check in person if you live close enough to an Apple Store. I’ve had success for myself (walk-in purchase of a 5S in late September) and on behalf of my mom (warranty replacement on the spot) before.

No noticeable difference in mine.

Its Shy 🙈

> therefore your thinking shifts to “uh oh, maybe my repair can be rejected now”.

Not if it’s a legit manufacturer defect within the warranty period. They have to cover that anyway. Are you saying you already purchased AppleCare+ and you you regret it?

Only possibility is they might be stored on your iCloud. So log in with a browser and see what’s there

If you have a mac , you might still find all your notes there.

Similarly, going to iCloud.com and checking all the notes upfront would be the first thing to do.

It would be amazing if they had the same model in stock, but back in late November/early December, stock was 1-2 months out iirc. 1TB 14PM in Deep Purple. Repairs get me nervous, but only because I had one catch fire (iPhone 4s a long long time ago lol) and with the exception of a 7 Plus years ago for work, I was on Android up until this model.

Because hypothetically, it would suck to have just purchased AppleCare+ thinking it’s an immediate necessity, and literally seconds later get the news from the support agent that actually it’s maybe not valid or correct to purchase that first, therefore your thinking shifts to “uh oh, maybe my repair can be rejected now”.

I’d limp it along with a battery bank for a while and save for something like an SE.

The 2020 models already go for ~£100 on eBay, the 2022 model will probably quickly follow suit.

Unfortunately, it’s a 14 Pro Max in this hypothetical. I hear the back glass is a nightmare for the Pro models. Although it would make sense to point the cameras at sources of light and see if any picture degradation/artifacts creep up. See if this even affects the image output. Still, $1600 phone… shouldn’t have this issue. Ah well. I’ll google which camera is which so I can isolate the one that’s suspect.

Happened with me, wait for some more hours, it'll probably fix itself.
