They mentioned you. When the letters are Bildes it means someone mentioned someone they did @Casey and it did it.

I’m sorry if it hurts your ethics. But I really don’t have that much amount to spent. So I will lie.

I don’t know maybe I’m wrong. I thought they said they were going to put a hold on my card, but I’m looking at my credit card app now and I don’t see it. I only see the $99 dollar charge for using the replacement service. But I know if you don’t return it in 10 days they charge you the full price.

I don’t think what you said would work anyway. They send the replacement in a special looking box with a convenient peel away return label and tape, and all kinds of barcodes. I think you really need that box/labels for the process to work out. They also shipped it like 2 hours after I put the request in and it got here in 3 days.

Life is pretty fair, in this instance. Because you bought AppleCare+ pointlessly. You were hoping for an unqualified repair.

The AppleCare+ terms state that it does NOT cover:

h) To repair pre-existing conditions of the Covered Equipment if you purchased the Plan after you purchased the Covered Equipment;

So no coverage — unless you choose to lie.

I’d say get the SE if it’s as a second phone

Wow do you have any more hidden features?

Damn, what if you don’t have the credit limit for that? I guess you’d have to mail it in or drop it off before they ship the replacement?

Thank you. I’ll wait about a week then.

Ha no…. They put a hold on your credit card for the full price of the new phone. They give you 10 days to return the broken one. Once they get it they release the charge. If they don’t get it back they charge you for the full price of the new phone

So did you wake up?

Jusy wait a few days before sending it… give it a few weeks before you claim apple care… just to be safe

Its the same process worldwide bruh

Did you get to keep the broken one too?

Yes I will take care of that. I imagined that it was okay because I “really had an option”

Don’t tell Apple that it happened before you bought AppleCare.

I just hope it has the rumored titanium to replace the stainless steel. I want a pro but they are just too heavy right now

So sorry I made people aware that life’s not fair.

Thank you very much. It explains everything.

Insurance fraud is insurance fraud, it's not something Apple determines but federal law does (and many other countries' laws)

Come on

I already paid more than it’s worth. But I’ll take care about mentioning it. Thanks 😎

I wish it’s the same process in Europe

Yes

Since you purchased Apple care before the phone was broken, you can install the Apple support app and it will walk you through placing a claim and cost of repairs.

Yes.

That isn’t fair to the people who buy apple care+ legitimately before they have damage.

You are causing the price to go up for everyone because you are buying insurance as a discount to buy after-the-fact. You are supposed to buy it before anything is wrong, and only use the Apple Care if something happens after that point.
