Did they conveniently forget to say that Apple will give you a further refund in you return the replaced part? Ah, yes, they did. In the case of the battery for iPhone 13 mini described in the article, that's an additional refund of $24.15.
Since I've never heard of anyone getting back the broken part when getting an in-store repair, it'd be reasonable to compare at the $44.85 price, wouldn't it?
- canuckintime 4y agoThey didn't 'conveniently' forget; it's mentioned and accounted for in the article: > $49 to rent Apple’s tools for a week, more than wiping out any refund I might get for returning the old used part.
- NovemberWhiskey 4y agoIt's $49 to have Apple ship two Pelican cases of tools to you, to have you use them for the week, then to ship them back to Apple and (presumably) to have someone inventory them to make sure there's nothing missing and that they're reading to ship out to the next person. You think Apple is making money on that?
- Teever 4y agoNo, I think Apple is making money in slow-walking an actual, practical repair program and if we lived in a society with proper regulatory bodies they would get their hand slapped so hard for doing so.
