Broke my iPhone 4S Battery- Will Genius Bar
Is there any way the genius bar will replace my battery if I broke policy and broke the battery myself, even though the battery was dying? I plan to be honest. Is that the best idea?
Details:
My iPhone 4s Battery was dying. I thought maybe the battery was loose because I tried other techniques that didn't help and my phone would randomly die on me even with 76% battery! Then I made a stupid mistake and accidentally ripped the battery out of the iPhone… Now the phone will not work without being plugged in and will not get a signal (even for Wi-Fi)
So, now the policies says that I can't even get the $80 battery replacement with Apple (either mailing it in or going to the Genius Bar). (Not under warranty, I bought it used)
I have a Genius Bar appointment on Monday afternoon. I'm thinking I'll just be honest and say I made a mistake but that my battery wasn't working anyways. Do you think that's a good idea? I'm really stressed about the whole situation!
