Reply to Does anyone know/ have an estimate when Apple will sell iPhone 13 pro models on its refurbished site? by mikes7456
They tend to become available towards the spring so around the months of March/April at the earliest. Just keep your eyes on the refurbished store as they can come out of nowhere.

Totally depends on the item, what warranty if any etc etc. Itās totally case by case basis. Friends of told me that they broke something and just got handed a brand new one in many cases yet Iāve been going in there for years for my clients if I canāt fix something and Iāve never gotten anything absolutely free ever.

I recognize Iām commenting a bit late, but itās technically not the initial screen. Itās when the phone activates, which is after the WiFi setup screen where you either connect to a wifi network or select the option to activate over cellular.
Iāve heard sad stories about people selecting the language and region and assuming theyāre good to go since they got through a couple of setup steps.
I tell people to just try setting up the phone by skipping everything until you see the Home Screen, and thatās how you can be certain itās safe. Then just erase the phone again to get back to the setup screens. Itās annoying, but itās not too hard and just takes a couple minutes.

I watched a Genius Bar employee just straight up give a dude something once.
This guy brought in his MacBook that was having issues and the Genius Bar employee hooked up a wired Apple keyboard to run some diagnostics. The guy was like āOh man Iāve been meaning to get one of those. They look really nice.ā
And the employee just goes āI think you came in with it. š¤«ā The guy seemed confused so he just repeated āI think you came in with it. šā And the guy put it in his bag after they were done.
An ex of mine got a brand new MacBook after hers required like 4 separate repairs for manufacturer issues. That seemed more reasonable but it was still at least a year out of warranty so I was impressed.

My 13pm recently died and I'd only bought it last May. I took it to the Apple store. They replaced the entire system minus the screen. It would've been $600 but since it was still under warranty it didn't cost me anything. It only took them 45minutes to fix and they were busy. I will always keep AppleCare.

That sucks man, I'd report it to Apple itself if you haven't already.

Yeah it's almost like you are paying the price of 2.5 phones so it's NBD if they give you a whole new one.

The best and funniest memory I have was a very sweet lady who had broken her phone but was out of warrantyā¦I noticed the phoneās battery was below threshold during diagnostics so I swapped the whole thing under swollen battery replacement (I think it was $99 vs $300+) to replace the entire device.
About an hour later she comes back SOAKED from head to toe, including her hair (she was wearing a long dress) and tells me she had fallen into one of the mallās water fountains lmao! At that point I swapped it again at no charge since it was within a 90 day warranty.

They do this, if you bring in your device for a repair and they find something broken that shouldnāt be they will repair or replace it free. Years ago, I brought in my several-year old phone for a $29 battery replacement, they gave me a entirely new same-model phone because they said they found the battery had swollen.

Iāve heard many stories like this. Generally speaking if you are honest about what happened and act like a decent human being there is a good chance they will go above and beyond.
I managed restaurants and worked in retail for years. I was always more willing to help a kind customer than one that started the conversation in a rude or demanding manner. Itās not rocket science; most people will react the same way.

If it was not stolen, the seller would have unlocked it so that he can get the most money for it. Since heās selling it like this as is, itās very shady.

You are a good person. Iām sure you made so many peoplesā days. Itās hard to work in retail and to deal with the public. Sadly, so many donāt deal with employees as real people.

I brought my iphone 5 in smashes to shit from years in trades and they said āoh the camera doesnāt work, that is independent of the damage so have a free new phoneā.
I sent in my 11 to get a new screen a few weeks ago and they sent me a brand new phone. No idea why. Looks like my dad is getting a new phone.
