What on earth do I tell the Apple store this time
This is kind of a long story, please bear with me here!
So in the past 4 days, I've had my iphone 5 replaced 3 times! I had my first iPhone (the one I've had for nine months) replaced for an issue which wasn't my fault. The next iphone had a major glitch from the start that wasn't my fault. The next two iphones i just ruined today. I plugged the one into the power outlet of a Cessna 152 airplane and put the phone in the door handle to record the day's flight. When I started taxiing I noticed the screen had black and white vertical stripes. The phone then turned off and I was totally unable to turn it back on despite it's almost full battery. Right after the flight, I went to the apple store to get it replaced and they did. I assumed the phone screwed up because the door vibrated it too much as it does get pretty vibratey. Call me an idiot, but I then went on a night flight with my new phone plugged into the power outlet. When I started the plane I noticed I had fried this one as well and it wouldn't turn on! Anyways. Now I"m pretty sure it was a power surge that caused it.
My question is this:
Is a power surge covered by apple's one year warranty? And if not, or if so, what should I say to get them to replace it again? I'm sure they're so sick of me getting new phones but how was i supposed to know this would happen? I'm honestly very good to my phone as my last one i had for nine months with no issues. Should I lie to apple and say it was plugged into my car and maybe my charger's busted? I don't know? Any help is much appreciated! 10 points will be rewarded to anyone who helps at all! Please
Let's simplify this, go get the Galaxy S4. Apple has lost its touch. I feel all they care about is how pretty the phone looks. I've only had to replace one of the 3 Android phones I've owned, only because the power/lock button stopped working. And that's when I had the original Droid. I currently own the Galaxy Nexus, which is pretty outdated compared to the phones at the moment. Almost had it for 2 years now.
- What time should I get in line for the iPhone 6/Plus at the Apple Store on sep. 19th? What time should I get in line for the iPhone 6/Plus at the Apple Store on sep. 19th if I was to pick up or buy a new iPhone or iphone 6 plus. I know you can order, but I don't want to wait till October or pay someone one ebay $1,000.
- Verizon store or apple store for a new iphone 5? Verizon said I can get an Iphone 5 for "Using my upgrade + $199).Is it true that I can get an iphone 5 at the apple store for $199? If true, Why would I use an upgrade at verizon and pay the same amount for the phone?
- Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-earth Free Mithril? I wanted to ask if there's any way to get more Mithril for the iphone and android app "The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle Earth". You need it for nearly everything and I wanted to know if there's a way to get it for free.
- Someone local has 10 New iPhone XSs. He says he buys in bulk. How on earth could he have gotten them? I can't imagine it being from a drug deal because how would he get so many new. I haven't heard of any stores having theft recently. Can someone explain this to me?
