iPhone 3GS Water Damage (Thank you Apple)

[Exegesis48]

So my 1 year old son decided to play "Will it Float?" with my iPhone 3GS the other night. I tried the rice trick and left it alone for days before trying to power it on, but I could never get it to work again.

I even went as far to take it apart and tried to clean any corrosion I could see, but that didn't work either.

So today was payday and I decided to bite the bullet and see if Apple would offer me the $199 water damager deal to replace my phone.

They gave me a new one, NO CHARGE!

I'm just really buzzed with happiness right now. The crazy part is that we were fully prepared to pay the $199 water damage fee and were completely understanding of Apple's policy on that.

We are already an Apple family, so guess we can just put that $200 towards another fancy Apple product in the New Year!

While I complain about the high cost of apple products I will say that it seems like you get your money's worth when it comes to customer service. It's nice to see a big company still have great customer service, especially in the electronics arena. Maybe one day I will expand my apple product portfolio past the iPhone and ATV 2.

Oh I forgot to mention one thing I found to be quite hilarious.

When I went to recover the iPhone from the toilet bowl, the screen was displaying the message "This accessory does not support charging".

So apparently you can NOT dock your iPhone in your toilet bowl.

HAHAHA, well, at least not charge it, you may be able to use your toilet as an external speaker, or perhaps connect to iTunes.

Haha my friend dropped his iPhone in a cup of beer and it displayed the message. This iPhone is not optimized for this accessory" or something like that. So apparently the iPhone isn't optimized for beer. We all got a kick out of it.
