I wouldn't go telling Apple about the sub zero temps, but the cold temps sound like an interesting culprit!
I don't understand how anyone can sleep in 20 degree temps . I understand trying to save on heating bills but that is ridiculous .
I appreciate it looks like impact damage but it wasnt. Unless somebody broke in whacked the screen cracked it without damaging casing and then slipped off into the night! There would be really no point me coming on here to lie and convince members of a forum. Im just putting it out there what really happened and to see if this or similar has happened to others.
Sorry to hear that your display is cracked. I cracked my 1-week old iMac display and the $550 repair was a full replacement display at the Apple Store.

How? There is not a single mark on the casing. The damage is only in the glass!
Again it says more about you than me to always think that people lie. I would have no motive to lie on here, it serves no purpose for me getting this repaired under warranty! Again I have posted the truth about what happened, take it or leave it.![]()
Was that the older iMac or the new thinner version. My original was a write of because of cracked glass and dented casing.
Just take it to Apple. 10:1 they will replace it for you without charge. Just tell them the story.
I personally believe you with near 100% confidence. You made a mistake once... you took responsibility. You are talking to a bunch of armchair "mock-engineers" pretending they know thermodynamics of materials and can diagnose your problem via a picture on the internet.
Bring it in and you will be fine. Keep your integrity high when you explain he story.

Thank you, Jim.
You have restored my faith!

It is 20 degrees celsius which is 68 degrees fahrenheit. That is what our thermostat is set to in the day. At night it is off so the temperature drops to I am guessing 10 degrees celsius or so which is 50 degrees fahrenheit.
Is that unusual? Feels perfectly comfortable to me.
In Japan, where every house has a maximum of 2 panes of glass (1 in most), 3-7 degrees average in the winter is pretty spot on. Typically, it is colder inside than outside because the inside doesn't even get the sun.
So, I'd say spot on.
North Americans are used to leaving central heating on all the time and don't mind crazy electric bills. That's why less than 20 degrees may feel cold to them.
And of course, the people saying 10 and 20 is below freezing are just joking. No one would have for a moment thought you were talking about Fahrenheit, not at those temperatures. That is, unless this forum really has gone to the dogs.
I'm in Canada...
I promise our summers are amazing!

I'm in Canada, the overnight low for tonight is expected to fall to -32Cwith the wind the equivalent temperature is -44C
. My heating runs all winter, I have no choice. If I were to turn off the heat I'd have no water bill either as my pipes would be frozen before dawn. Assuming I survive the night, the car won't start as it will be frozen solid too (we plug them in using more electricity to keep them warm enough to start). So while some North Amercans are relatively warm in winter this Cannuck remains so due to a heating system that stays on ALL winter.
