nothing more than a "Thanks for trying, sorry about this." Actually, they got a request that they be grateful that they received some minor expenses, and some whinging that BUL paid some money but didn't receive a finished product. "Sor

No, it doesn't. Here's the relevant quote, indicating that the only thing they won't cover is damage you cause while attempting a swap. Swapping itself is fine. WARNING: Apple recommends that you have an Apple-certified technician instal

The comments both here and on reddit contain many vivid examples of how people react to a marketing message. Virtually nobody changed their mind (many simply got more strident in their position when confronted with opposing interpretations.
