just came back from apple- not sure if they charged the entire 366.00 to fix it or not -haven't recived my receipt yet. --I am to dumb to understand that, if the phone is as good as new, or in fact "new" why I cant buy applecare (or similar) for it.???...anyone know of alternitves like applecare for this phone that is legit....???thanks
 
You might look into Squaretrade... Depending on how old your device is and if it is an Apple white box replacement it either has the remainder of the one year original warranty or if its older than a year it has a 90 day warranty..

There’s no apple hustle. The store gives you a receipt with details of what was changed.

[doublepost=1542749802][/doublepost]not so according to the advisor on the phone-they give you a list of what they will stand behind...

I’ve got my devices repaired at the store and have always received a work receipt that has the details of the work carried out and part replaced.
 
…why I cant buy applecare…
If you did not buy Applecare+ within the time limit (60 days right now) for the original purchase then you cannot buy it later on for a replacement.

You have to buy it at the beginning. Then your replacements would also be covered under AC+. The fact that your phone was replaced is irrelevant.
