> The Apple Store guy tried to accuse me of getting water on the keyboard,
They pulled the exact same bullshit with the first iPhone I ever bought (3s at the time) and refused to fix it for free even though it was under warranty as the screen stoped working, asking the equivalent of more than $200 for something I paid like $300 new, claiming water caused damages. I ended up buying a spare screen $10 online and change it myself.
It was the last time I ever bought something from Apple.
- DennisAleynikov 8y agoamen to that its always easier to fix it yourself when the part is the only problem. apple is a full service shop that will quote you a price and then get it done. they wont ask any questions and just let it all happen.
- oliwarner 8y agoIt's just a shame —with all brands— that original parts aren't the more readily available. I don't want a knock-off batteries or screens. They're cheap because they're not top-flight materials and invariably break much quicker than what they're replacing. And those that claim to be genuine are often even shittier.
- DennisAleynikov 8y agothere isn't a universal standard for this, but some companies do provide raw parts officialy for instance Samsung allows you to get any replacement parts for any of their phones or electronics on their website.
