I’m assuming he’s still in that window where he still has the option to buy coverage since it’s a new phone or else he wouldn’t of had the option to get coverage

Like don’t they give you 3 months or something? I just got a desktop and it says I have X more days until I can no longer get Apple Care coverage for jt.

I’m not saying it’s ethical….but I think I’d let him slide for this one.

But you should really always have apple care insurance. It’s worth it and it will pay off eventually. You never know what life will bring you. Ive used it for cracked screens twice , stolen once , water damage from flipping a jet ski, and green line of death once from some random knocking it off a table.

It’ll cost some serious dough tho if you don’t have the insurance. This is for back glass damage with and without insurance

Lol ya I can’t imagine it’s too much different…

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.

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

Lol the exact same thing just happened to me on Friday. I dropped it and back glass shattered just like that.

I had apple care +. I went onto Apple support app and picked my problem. They gave me the option of going to Apple Store for glass replacement for $29 or getting a whole new phone for $99. I picked new phone. They immediately shipped it and I got the new replacement on Monday morning.

I can’t recommend paying for Apple Care enough. It’s so damn good

I went with replacement option for more money because the last time I broke my screen and took it to Apple store , it took over 2 hours to replace and I didn’t like the job they did. You could tell it was replaced and wasn’t very water tight ( I could see bubbles sometimes if screen got wet). I’d rather just have the new phone
