BIG thumbs up to Apple customer service

[AndrewR23]

Just wanted to share my story.

So far I've had terrible awful luck with iPhone 4 replacements (Launch day speaker broke)

Went through 2 yellow tinted screens until I find a nice one which the glass became loose. Had 2 more yellow tinted screens when I phoned up Applecare and they shipped me a brand new one in retail box.

The brand new one was lightyears better than the replacements with a nice white screen. Then I pressed the home button in and it never came back up. Had to replace with another yellow tint.

Phoned up Applecare and my senior advisor (If anyone wants him email/name) I HIGHLY suggest him and he did say I could reference him. He set up another brand new replacement. Received this one on Wednesday and the wake/sleep button is smashed in. You cannot press it. Applecare is shipping me another brand new one.


Applecare said the yellow tint is a huge issue they all know of and replace on the spot now.

But wow by far the greatest customer service by far I have ever encountered. Which is why I will always stick with Apple.

I can't believe your bad luck!

I'm glad they're taking care of you, though. I know a store like Best Buy or whomever would just return your phone and send you on your way and call THAT customer service. Yuck.

EDIT: PM me contact details of this person--my fiancee is having trouble with her 3GS.

The replacements I receive via Applecare are brand new sealed in the retail box.

That's good to hear. Is there not an Apple Store where you live? I've had a great customer experience as well. I've had my iPhone 4 replaced about 6ish times. From a blurry camera to my 30-pin doc connected not picking up my sync cable to my home button not registering when I press it. One of the reasons why I choose apple products over anyother.

Anyways back to you. If you live near a apple store you can tell the rep on the phone that and pick up your iPhone's replacement there on the spot instead of waiting for your replacement in the mail. [:
