Anyone else spooked by all these problems?

The one that wanted me to pay 700 for a new laptop screen? Yah right..

So it is Apple's fault that you broke the screen?

 

[slave]

So, in my city, we have no Apple store. This is a 100% true story by the way, and is the reason I never got an iPhone.

My buddy Streeter got an iPhone. It was 2008. I think it was the 3GS. His screen was acting crazy. I have no idea what crazy meant, it's just what he said. He needed to go to the Somerset mall in Troy. We live in Flint. This is an hour+ trip because of traffic, so I said, screw it, I will ride with you.

We get to the Apple store. It looked great, clean, white, blue, pretty. This is a tech store I though. We walk into the store, and a girl is working the door, doesn't even look up to greet us. The store was actually empty.

He walks up to the back counter, where they take your info, and he says my iPhone is acting crazy. The guy at the counter asks. "Do you have an appointment?" Streeter says, "uh, no, didn't know I needed one."

"You have to have an appointment" the guy says.

"There is no one in here, can you at least take a quick look?" Streeter asked.

"No, you have to have an appointment". He says.

"Dude, this place is empty". I said.

"No, you have to have an appointment". He says.

"Well, can I make an appointment?" Rich asked.

"Yes, let me check to see when I can get you fit you in... How about 315 today?" The guy asked. Looking up at the clock, it read 255. "That's in 20 minutes!" I blurted out.

"Yes, there is other work to do until then" He said.

"FINE!" Streeter said.

We go to the front of the store, sit on the bench. The two "Geniuses" then talk about the show Heroes and World of War Craft for 20 minutes.

At 1515 we walk up to the desk, the SAME EXACT GUY looks up and says "Hello, welcome to Apple. Do you have an appointment?"

"WE WHERE JUST UP HERE, AND HAVE BEEN SITTING IN YOUR STORE FOR 20 MINUTES. NO ONE ELSE CAME IN HERE, YOU KNOW WE HAVE A DAMN APPOINTMENT!" I yelled.

After a few choice words, I had to wait outside, Streeter returned his iPhone, on the spot.

The smug arrogance of the Apple store is enough for me to never, ever buy an apple product, coupled with the abortion that is iTunes.

Apple vs android conversations are always hilarious. People keep padding each side until the thread gets locked. I'm on both sides actually. Apple beats android in some ways and android beats apple in others. Extreme exaggerations like this are common and very humorous to read. Either way when there is competition between brands then the consumers win. Funny stuff.

Oh please. And you calling me clueless and saying I'm uneducated is the epitome of class and intelligence?

Get off your high horse. If you were really any better than me, than you wouldn't be saying anything at all.

Actually yes I am. Let's not forget that you thought the Xiaomi was a 26.00 phone. LOL!

I gotta say. I have had no problems with my Moto X (Verizon) Call quality on par with my iphone 5 and MUCH better than the S4. Battery life pretty good as well.

Actually, no, I didn't. I thought there was something wrong and there had to be a mistake somewhere. The mistake was clearly mine. I can admit that.

And before you get too far with your delusions of being such a model individual, I'll remind you that you're the same person who said this:

Nice but you know that whole rainbow thing is kinda..... Well you know what I mean right?

I can understand if you didnt have a problem with the rainbow. And I would like to apologize for hurting your feelings with that comment. Not exactly my cup of tea but I can respect what you stand for. Sorry if I touched a nerve. Won't happen again.

You didn't hurt my feelings. You just displayed your ignorance, and I pointed it out because you seem to believe that you're the better person here. Again, newsflash: you're not.

How about you simply recognize that and leave me alone? Then I'll do the same to you.

 

[CrazyRussian007]

Damn, this thread got away, back to the OP:
I have absolutely zero issues with my Maxx. Zero.

Awesome, again sorry to get you so upset. Hate seeing you get all in a tizzy like that. No offense intended.

Absolutely not..but if they were out to help their customer like mentioned it wouldn't cost two thirds of the price I paid for the laptop for it to get fixed.

I have a Sony Vaio S. Cracked the screen after tripping over my charging cable in an airport (pretty embarrassing). $900 fix.

 

[doublebullout]

And on a completely unrelated note, I have to say this: ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!

Obviously I wish my Aggies had won, but it was a great, exciting classic battle. Congrats to Vinnie Sunseri -- he made the play of the game. Hopefully Johnny will come back next year instead of declaring for the draft, but I don't know if Saban's heart can take it.

You're talking about laptops that cost $2500+ are you really surprised that the screen costs $700? Don't buy a BMW if you can't afford the repairs
