You broke your phone already?! I wont do any name calling or anything like that, but if you really just broke an expensive, rare device, that is in huge demand on the freaking day of its launch.....in the words of Keashawn Johnson "COMMON MAN!"
Got a tip for us?

Umm, I believe that my statement was OBVIOUSLY in jest. Oh right, that emoticon that I used, the very one people seem to think will prevent people like you from believing that what I wrote was serious, suggests I was not serious. Come on buddy, you're smarter than this, right? Wait, maybe not ... I asked if the OP had AC+, which by the way covers accidental damage, you know for times like this! OMGWTFBBQ!!!!Sorry but you MUST be from the "wrong side of the tracks" as it IS fraud.
Negative Ghost Rider, I've paid for iPhones using check cards, credit cards and cash.
Thank god some people agree with me.
Fraud is bad, and anybody who even considers it should just leave this forum. It's why cost of devices are high, why insurance is high etc.
Click on the little paper clip and you can upload one. If you have a photo service on a website, you can click on the little yellow box with the mountains on it.

Great idea. American Express talks this up a lot. I believe Visa Signature cards, and World Master Cards also have this feature.
Mr Johnson, up against the wall, book him for lying about a cracked screen.
That's just silly.

It's very possible though. I was insanely safe when I took it out the box- put it down when I looked away. If it happened to me- I would not have felt like crying... I would of actually cried.
Ok, his screen is already broken so let's say he's honest and tells them it was his fault and they replace it (which they probably would), Apple is still eating the cost of the phone regardless or American Express if he used their purchase protection, not sure how that wouldn't affect pricing as well.
Yeah, pretty much every card has it by now. Even my student card which I got having no credit history gives me 90 days. Some of the American Express cards give you a full year.
Uh oh the morality police are on patrol! I guess you don't speed either huh?
I speed, because I'm willing to take the risk of a $50 ticket. Committing Fraud, potentially a felony because someone can't handle their damn devices with care is stupid.
Fraud is very bad. Speeding.. is like eating, everyone does it.
Since we're on the subject, does anyone know if there's still a $199 out of warranty replacement option available, or has AppleCare+ pretty much ruined that for us?
The reps in Apple store when trying to sell apple care mentioned the standard $199 replacement without Applecare+
Good to know. I'd rather pay $199 in the case of a catastrophic accident (which I have yet to have with any of my iPhones in 4 years of ownership) than to pay $100 extra now and a $50 deductible later. Possibly paying an extra $50 later sounds like a better deal to me than definitely shelling out $100 that may do me no good whatsoever.
Yeah i didn't get it on any of my iphones. It really only saves if you destroy it a second time. Even then I can most likely repair it myself cheaper if it's a shattered screen.
Where are the pics of your cracked screen? Don't make us hunt you down via IP address. You don't know how resourceful Apple fans are.
sorry I was on my cracked screen it was hard to post stuff, but now that Im home from the apple store I am one Happy customer! I hugged the guy that replaced my phone for free...
the apple workers all gathered around and were like.. woah the first broken iphone 5.. they felt bad for me and said get this guy a new phone!
