iPhone vs. recliner: recliner 1, iPhone 0

by Sean Cooper, posted Aug 23rd 2007 at 2:59AM

Ouch, Flickr user kwarren's iPhone suffered a vicious end when it slipped from his pocket and into the inner workings of his (brutally gaudy) home theater recliner. But, there is a bright side to his sad story, when presented to the Genius at a local Apple store, it was replaced without issue or cost to him. We say cheers to Apple for this type of generous support and for the comedic relief in the repair invoice: "if scratched, describe what caused it to scratch. iPhone was crushed in a recliner." Hit the read link for more pics, but be warned, the images contain grievous depictions of severe iPhone suffering.

How nice of the Apple guys to replace it for free. I wonder if the guy had warranty

I don't understand how they can just keep replacing them for free. Eventually word is gonna get out, and no one will ever bother buying the applecare plan.

You realize that they're all under the original warranty right now, don't you? Applecare doesn't even factor into it yet.

Apple replacing the screen is not the norm... Just buy a new screen?! http://www.unityelectronics.com/product-product_id/4287/m/Apple/p/IP_2085
