A bit of a pain in the ass actually. Have to make an appointment to come to the store. There's also the matter of having to take my kids along as I have no babysitter. If I know for certain they'd do a replacement I'd go. Last time I'm paying for a stupidly overpriced phone. I've lost and broke so many phones.

But don't you have to get a new phone anyways?

And yes, amp the kids up on caffeine and sugar. They'll give you a phone just get ride of you and them.
 
So, I was being an idiot and smashed my relatively new Iphone. Doubt that it can be repaired. My wife told me she bought an AppleCare warranty thing. Not certain but I think it’s still under the 12 months protection.

Never had to do this before, but if it’s completely my fault will Apple honor the warranty? Don’t want to be a tool and bring in a smashed phone and expect them to give me a replacement. If it makes a difference, we bought the phone at an Apple store overseas.

AppleCare will cover it. You may have to pay like 100 bucks, but they'll prob give you a new phone. Say its accidental damage (baby threw it against a wall, dropped it, ran over it with a car, whatever), you get 2 incidents.

Service fees and deductibles at a glance
Incidents covered
Screen damage
$29.00

Any other accidental damage
$99.00

Theft or loss
$149.00

Is the apple store even open? Last time I walked by it was boarded up. But maybe you are somewhere other than PDX?

The ones in the burbs are probably open. Bridgeport Village and Washington Square I believe.

Also, there are authorized repair centers. IMO, they usually take longer to do anything, I'd stick with the Apple Store Genius Bar if possible. The authorized repair centers are usually shut in nerds, the genius bar are clueless millennials with a techy in the back doing everything. Much easier to scam your way into a new phone.

Portland has suburbs? I did not know that. Sounds disgusting.

I’ll “watch” your wife while you run your errands.
 
You better get in shape, then. Doubtful you can hold your breath more than a minute at a time. But if you like fish sauce…

Oh, shit, you mean to tell me I might have to delete one by one all the cringy shit (all the Oden posts lol) I've ever posted here?

My wife's cousin passed away a month ago and her family had some kind of virtual funeral for her. They had a compilation of all her “digital” selves and sent it out to everyone to celebrate her life instead of mourning her loss. They went through all her social media accounts and made accessible to everyone all the comments and conversations she ever had with anyone online. Went all the way back to her ICQ chats. Was weird af.

Oh god, they CAN'T do that for me.....

never do that with the younger generation
 
I would actually be ok with that. There is nothing I post here that I wouldn’t say in real life.
 
Actually I take that back. S2 is the only place I have ever talked politics.

It depends on two things:
1. How honest you want to be about it;
2. Some warranties cover the product no matter what.
 
Its actually paradise.

No barking from the dog.
No smog.
I live in Lake Oswego and we hardly ever hear a barking dog and never hear loud music or gunshots.
When I lived in Aloha, all I heard were barking dogs, sometimes five or six at a time. We also heard loud music late at night and an occasional gun shot. One neighbor in Aloha even shot paint balls at his dogs and laughed while he did it.
My stress has gone down so much since I moved here that it's a miracle.

Bridgeport Verizon is open so I'll bet their Apple store is also open.

Hey barfo, a lot of businesses are boarded up out there in the wilderness.

Actually, since Trump took office I find lots of strangers willing to cuss politics with me. Did you know Trump is not popular? No, it's true.

You have to tell them a 10 ton dump truck ran over it. They would believe it.
 
Christmas came late, but I got a new shiny Iphone. Paid a total of $330, but got upgraded to the 12 pro max. Apparently, my wife’s been paying for AppleCare+ with theft and loss protection the last few years. I could’ve made a claim the last time my Iphone was lost!

Thanks for the tips, broskis (@EL PRESIDENTE)! The Asian in me (not wanting to look like a tool, saving face) almost didn't bother bringing it in.
My Asian wife simply will not complain even when she gets cheated. If we have to return something to the store because something was wrong with the product or the food wasn't right at a restaurant, I have to do it or it doesn't get done. She watches the bills and if there is some glitch in the bill, I have to make the call correcting the mistake.
 
Yeah, saving face is a big thing in a lot of Asian cultures, so they try to not complain or make a big fuss of things to avoid getting humiliated. My mom (and I guess I have a bit of it too) is the same way. My wife is not, but that’s probably because she was born here.
I'm like your wife. My wife is okay with me raising hell but she'd never do that. I can't tell you how many times I've had to take her receipts back to correct some wrong. It took a while but I'm used to it now.
 
Hey Lanny, will you call and lay a verbal smackdown on the dude that installed my tankless water heater? Takes forever for hot water to start now. Dude assured me that hot water would start almost instantly because he’d installed a small tank that holds hot water at all time.
I've got a 50 gallon natural gas hot water tank and it never runs out of hot water no matter what.
Your small tank hot water heater should also supply lots of hot water but not as much as mine. Perhaps your tank is at the far end of the house.
