But don't you have to get a new phone anyways? And yes, amp the kids up on caffeine and sugar. They'll give you a phone just get ride of you and them.
AppleCare will cover it. You may have to pay like 100 bucks, but they'll prob give you a new phone. Say its accidental damage (baby threw it against a wall, dropped it, ran over it with a car, whatever), you get 2 incidents. Service fees and deductibles at a glance Incidents covered Screen damage $29.00 Any other accidental damage $99.00 Theft or loss $149.00
You can look up if you have AppleCare here https://checkcoverage.apple.com/ AppleCare is 2 years. Its pretty good,I've never had an issue, even physical damage on a macbook pro I just got fixed.
Is the apple store even open? Last time I walked by it was boarded up. But maybe you are somewhere other than PDX? barfo
The ones in the burbs are probably open. Bridgeport Village and Washington Square I believe. Also, there are authorized repair centers. IMO, they usually take longer to do anything, I'd stick with the Apple Store Genius Bar if possible. The authorized repair centers are usually shut in nerds, the genius bar are clueless millennials with a techy in the back doing everything. Much easier to scam your way into a new phone.
Talking more about the messages and group chats with the homies. What I say to them, makes what I post here G-rated.
It depends on two things: 1. How honest you want to be about it; 2. Some warranties cover the product no matter what.
