Name one company that does this

>>62217094
It's called a warranty. Virtually every company does this.

>>62217094
>Company overcharges so much they can replace some no problem
That's real fuckery right there.

there are a lot of companies that provide warranties OP

how about instead of wasting a device and replacing it for another water-ruinable device you make one that RESISTS water?

Do you understand what warranty even is?

of course Apple will replace damaged devices, they're currently spying on the entire US except for southern Texas. That's a major blind spot in their mass surveillance/data mining program.

Yes, my next mobile phone will be a fucking ThinkPad laptop. Don't shoehorn that shit in a discussion it doesn't belong in.

I'm a big iFag but I see apple is only doing this for publicity, of course. Although their returns and repairs policy in the U.K. is fucking excellent, I'm aware that in the US they scam rather hard and charge steeply for repairs. The UK's and EU's laws over here keep them in check far more than the US does.

But Samsung actually recalled their phones instead of ignoring the problem and letting 66 people get killed.

>>62219800
After several months and blaming 3 battery OEMs (one of which was themselves!)

first: how do you want to know any of that about him?
second: how does driving stick (normal in europe), being able to run a mile under 6 minutes (not that impressive) and a basic musical education (which a ton of people have since most middle-class parents sent their kids to a music school or teacher) qualify anybody use the technology section of an armenian cat-petting forum?

Holy fuck I just broke my iPad Pro and called and said I was helping in Harvey and they're replacing it. I don't really feel bad about it because I did donate some bottled water and it cracked on a tiny ass 3 inch drop in a bag so fuck them.

the free advertisement they will gain is incomparable to the value of the worthless gookshit they hand out

protip: it's called business

I don't like apple but I have to admit that they made a nice move with my parents: my mother had an old 2011 MacBook Pro and the trackpad broke. Counter my suggestion she sent it to Apple for a charged repair. The post service lost the MacBook on the way back. Apple still charged the ca. 150 $ for the repair but sent her a top spec 2017 MacBook Pro instead for "free".

>>62217094
apple

they want to keep people in the apple ecosystem, make sure they never find out about the alternatives

>>62225385
where did you find this

If you have insurance, they'll do this for basically everything you own.


You're probably a goddamn NEET who doesn't own a home anyway, so renter's insurance is even fucking cheaper than home owner's insurance.

>>62217094
These parts will be used for refurbishing

>>62217124
Warranties almost never cover water damage.

>>62219823
Samsung blamed the battery OEMs but that didn't stop them from recalling and replacing the devices.

Because the battery isn't user replaceable they can't use that to absolve themselves of the situation and they never did. It was simply a case of attributing the fault.

>>62226595
>sent her a top spec 2017 MacBook Pro instead

iPad 4 and iPhone 5, begins 2012, 5 years ago.

Apple gets big trouble in europe just because say offer 1 year warranty.

Bullshit Post

>>62227891
we're talking AFTER YOU'VE USED IT FOR YEARS, shill. and we're talking EXPENSIVE PHONES not some $5 chinkshit.

ps: and it should be troubling to you that it came to you like that.

>>62217094
Meanwhile, water damage is not covered in your brand new iphone 7.

>>62227923
Why would a warranty last longer than the warranty period?

And it wasn't that troubling to me. It was probably shipped on a literal ship and I wouldn't be surprised if many items were likewise damaged. There was a note on the package from customs saying it was like that when it arrived and they tried to dry it out.

Dell, if you buy their special support. Which is much better Apple's, since you don't have to drive to a store.

Warranty isn't for this kind of thing.

They just told me it wasn't under warranty and told me to fuck off
