Depends. In the US, cars have a 2.5 mph bumper no-damage requirement.
Perhaps phones need something similar

funny, but not true. Plenty of others (including myself) have had luck getting their cracked front screen IP4's replaced at Mac stores on a one-time basis, at no cost.
My experience with this--
My back glass had a small ding in the Apple logo that was really bugging me. I took it in and asked if it was true that they would replace the back glass for $29. They gave me a little attitude and acted like they didn't have any in stock, but the guy came back from the back room with my iPhone already installed with new back glass. I handed him $30 in cash, and he said, "No charge, but next time they'll probably charge you the $29."
The three or four times I've had to go into the Apple store, they've always exceeded my expectation of what the outcome would be. My Apple hate is fading more and more with each passing day.

So you basically got free repairs for a non-issue other than you having OCD/cosmetic issues and you still hate apple ?
Did your mom not love you as a kid or something ?
