Is this standard or did I get lucky ? I brought in my phone to get the battery replaced and was told that while fixing it they accidentally stripped the screws. The genius offered me a brand new iPhone for the price of a battery repair. My phone has never had apple care and is out of warranty.
It’s like when my wife’s iPad got a bad battery after some two years. They gave me a brand-new iPad. Apparently, it is cheaper for Apple to make an iPad than to make one that can be opened and serviced. Crazynomics, I guess.
