I went to apple store Brighton to get my iPhone changed and the guy serving me was amazing. Ran diag and than swapped me a brand new iPhone. Great service. Got home noticed a small dent on the band. When I say small it's impossible to notice. But I have MADD OCD.

Anyways called apple care in Greece and couldnt get anything resolved as I can't make it back to the store or wait for delivery. So thought forget it stop acting like a girl and use the iPhone.

Than I got an email regarding Genius survey. Filled it in as I was bored today and didn't think anything of it. Than got a call back from the store manager saying he wanted to swap my iPhone. I advised it was inconvenient. So he said come in whenever you can and email me before and I'll sort it. In next 3 months.

Absolutely chuffed. Def be back soon anyways as I need to pickup some gifts soon. But Im soo impressed with apple....
 
Everyone reports bad news as it's a forum. I thought I would share some positivity
 
To be fair I'm not stupid. I would just rather use and scratch it myself. Than a genius lol. But if I got treatment I wouldn't be able to run my business. Has attention to detail is important.
 
Similar positive experience at the Apple Store

I had a similar experience. My iPhone 4, purchased in Aug, developed a dead pixel. I made my Genius appointment via the app, showed the clerk my phone, and 10 min later I was out the door with a brand new 32gb (week 40)! The only downside to my experience was that they forgot to check me in. I told them I was here for my appointment, but they didn't actually mark me present in their system.
