Apple’s great customer service comes through! A few days ago my iPhone stopped responding to any and all inputs. Even iTunes would not see the device. Well, Darrin, the Apple genius guy, was able to get my old iPhone working but still exchanged it for a brand new iPhone just because of all the issues I had with my old model.
Turns out my old iPhone was still under warranty so everything was covered under the original warranty. Still, it makes me wonder what will happen if I have issues with this phone, especially since Apple does not extend the warranty out when the phone is exchanged. Already, it seems that it’s not super-responsive and isn’t pulling my e-mails as seamlessly as before (I have to keep pressing refresh before any mail shows up). Still, I’ll chalk it up to breaking this new iPhone in, but if it doesn’t work perfectly in a week or two I might be taking another trip to the Apple store.
Yesterday, my iPhone stopped responding to touches or button presses. Now, this particular iPhone (an 8 GB, non 3G) has been acting up almost since I got it but it was never really a big issue. It would become unresponsive for a few seconds and then kick back in. Now, however, it simply does not load, charge or sync with iTunes. In fact, iTunes doesn’t even recognize that it is plugged in.
So to any of my friends who’ve tried reaching me by phone, send me an e-mail instead. Hopefully, Apple does me right and gives me a new iPhone. Surely they can spare an old model with everyone lusting for the 3G iPhone now!
Check it out iPhone visitors, this blog is now super iPhone friendly. This blog appeared 99% fine in Safari on the iPhone before [some videos wouldn't play due to lack of Flash] but now it’s optimized so the text fits perfectly on the screen. Sure, all the advertisements and other personal theme stuff goes away but that’s OK because I know Edge can be wicked slow so anything to make the blog load faster on mobile devices is OK with me.
Here’s a few screenshots of how the blog now looks on an iPhone:
