Glass for a new iPhone 3GS = $200

Wow, I learned yesterday that if you sit down in just the right way with your 50 day old iphone 3Gs in your back pocket you can actually crack the glass screen and Apple won’t cover it because they don’t see it as a hard ware defect and should not be covered by their 90 day warranty.

Between this and disabling all of my old items from charging my iphone I’m realizing that Apple, as wired magazin already noticed, truly is evil genius.

The affront of charging people the price of the phone for just the glass is simply unconscionable. I just had windows installed in my home and they were $200

If I remember correctly the subsidized price of the iphone was $199 so to sell a replacement glass for the same price seems like quite the gouge. I have an appointment tonight with the Apple store. Now let’s see if they will do the right thing! To be continued . . .
