I haven't had any such run-ins yet. When I asked them to replace my iPad's batteries, they said that they couldn't do it, but gave me a new iPad of the same model for CHF 100.- (which would have been the price of the battery replacement).

A unibody phone can't be missing parts
~~Couldn't~~
Wouldn't👌
Could this be any more blurry?
As a matter of fact, yes!
I can still make out some of these symbols.

I live in South Korea. Pretty much anywhere you go there's going to be a Samsung center. Tolerable(albeit not ideal) price, at least compared to Apple, fast(got my mobo fixed in <1h), super nice people.
I know they're far from perfect and I'd use Pixels in a heartbeat once Google decides to sell them in South Korea but Samsung in South Korea at least, pretty impressive. If only they weren't fucking us with higher prices compared to other countries and shitty Exynos chips...

This happened to me, just with a shattered screen instead of an old battery. Fucker tried to tell me my phone was bricked. I turned it on in front of the cunt and left.
I couldn't get a 5 € USB port exchanged on warranty because of a small tear in the screen. Because those fuckers glued the screen on. I wish I had had the energy and time to sue them for warranty. Not my problem if they make their shit harder to repair.
Edit: Was for Nokia, not Apple.
My iPhone 5’s battery was fucked after 3.5 years
Went into Apple Store for first time in my life
They took phone, I walked around for a half hour
Went back, they replaced battery because it was a known issue for free
Used phone for another year before giving it to a friend
yeah iphone XS, same experience, have done 2 battery replacements now no issues

Android ia the savior at this point, fuck google and apple tho
You do know that Android is a wholly owned subsidiary of Google, right?
I agree with fuck big corporations, but Android isn’t a savior, it’s basically the only open source option for now. Google is shoving their AI into it, and you can only use the most secure version of Android, GrapheneOS, by buying a Pixel, a phone made by Google.
The better goal is for other open source OS’s to become more mainstream and have the capabilities of Android or iPhone.

Yeah I don’t go to Apple stores with phone problems anymore. The convenience they’re supposed to represent is a bold faced lie and the people who work there are absolute morons who molest the meaning of the word “genius.”
Shiiittt mann, these days war crimes ain't even war crimes
Get yourself a pocket president to legitimize everything you do and crime becomes legal.
Even though androids phones may also face similar problems frlm OEMs, I will still just stick to android for it's somewhat openness.
Buy fairphone!
Fairphones suck though, if you want to fix your problems. Got a Fairphone 3 after my Nokia couldn't be repaired. I got it explicitly to have a phone that can be repaired more easily. But you know what? The fucker refuses to break!
inb4 "but it's too expensive 😭😭😭" *buys an iPhone instead*
I don't think android has much to do with hardware but I could be wrong
Well i mean no but kinda yes. iOS 18.1 has part pairing, which means it only works on specific hardware configurations
Android is an open source OS mainly developed by Google (which doesn't include google apps/android closed ecosystem apps). The android OEMs may do this. But due to somewhat androids openness, I can get an android phone from other OEMs which I think would do somewhat better than this
