I wonder what's it like at an Apple Store when you go in for an in-warranty replacement - does a Genius in the back have to go through this process of removing so many screws and carefully wrestling with the internals or do they have some hardware to assist this process?
- pohuing 3y agoDon't they just transfer the data and chuck your old device in the bin?

- windowsrookie 3y agoI know it was sarcasm, but all Apple Laptops and iPads come with a charger.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoI was referring to the iPhone but you're right.
- windowsrookie 3y agoThere were 8 screws to remove the bottom of the laptop. That's about the same maybe even less than most PC laptops I've worked on. I believe Apple will do simple repairs in the store. Battery replacement, screen replacement, etc. The logic board failed on my M1 MacBook Air, I brought it to an Apple Store and they did some diagnostics but said they had to mail it to a repair center. It was overnight shipped to some facility in Texas.
