iPhone microwaved

I really hope (though don't believe) that you somehow did this by complete mistake rather than on purpose in order to defraud apple and get a free phone because you scratched the first one.
Slightly off topic but my mum used to keep her handbag in either the mircowave or the rubbish bin when I was a kid, just in case a thief broke in while she was in the shower or hanging out the washing. I always thought that eventually it would end up in the garbage truck or she'd nuke her phone/keys/etc and start a fire.

Apple has $50,000,000,000 in the bank.. as much much as they charge us consumers for hardware.. they could spare a iphone or 2

You're right, I shouldn't be pissed at the people who robbed me the other day and stole my phone because obviously I'm better off and can afford to buy a new one.
Yeah, it was from a poor review by some guy who said their music "was a bunch of daft punk." I don't hear the word "daft" used ever unless it's about them. That's why I asked the person if they listened.
The OP cannot tell ... because he has zero common sense.
He has probably been destroying everything of value that has landed into his hands since birth ... my bet is he did not pay for the iPhone himself
No I didn't scratch it, I just got it.
It was by accident actually, I was making nachos, and went to open the microwave with my iPhone in my hand, and noticed I forgot the salsa, so I put my iPhone in the microwave. Then I put the salsa on and shut it.
2 seconds later it spun around and I noticed it so I took it out.
You have zero common sense, I have done no such thing I take care of my items and I did pay for it.
Would you like to see the receipt?
Unless some serious indica dominant bong rips preceded this you have no excuse for your lack of multitasking. Next time, if there is a next time, just put the phone in your pocket and focus on one thing at a time. I know this isn't helpful but given the ridiculous situation I don't think anything will be.

I'm going with drunk, I smoke a fair amount and I've never even left a fork in the microwave.
Very plausible. For the record neither have I.
While I don't partake at this time (various reasons...nothing permanent) I'm no stranger to the effects. I've seen, and have done, some really stupid things while drunk. Not so much the other way around. Despite what some would like to believe it has been my experience to be among drunk people, while high, only to laugh and shake my head at the ridiculous things they say and do.
Good grief. What an idiot. You don't deserve a free replacement, I hope they don't give you one. Claim off some insurance if you have any.
"I take care of my items". "I put my iPhone in the microwave". Hmmm.
I don't see how someone so distracted they put an iPhone into a microwave realized it so quickly that it only got nuked 2 seconds.
OP, the replacement is for manufacturer defect, not user mental defect. Pay the repayment fee.
And for all those who say "screw Apple", you are what is wrong with the world. Take some personal responsibility. I'm tired of paying for your existence. Don't you EVER complain about prices.

Sorry SandboxGeneral just read you post.
Daft is used quite a lot round my way to denote a silly person but not in a derogatory way UNLESS it is used in a short ,ironic statement to indicate that the person is a complete plonker and should not be used as breeding stock.
to bad his head won't fit might help! wow how do you accidentally microwave a iPhone and say you take care of your stuff in the same breath. I would have paid Apple the $199 replacement fee rather then admit the great microwave incident. it even beats the I dropped my iPhone while taking a crap thread! If you tell the truth the Genius might even take pity on you!
