Sadly in my country, we are still waiting for the 1st official Apple store to open. Currently we are served by Apple Authorised Retailers and the service experience varies from one to another. Any warranty replacement, takes a long time since it has to be shipped to neighbouring country, which is the closest with Apple centre and wait around 10 days minimum before any updates are given.

Hope that once we have the official store here, things will be a lot better like what you experienced.

Unless you are jail broke. There is no valid reason not to update. And lack of security updates make it a reason you should.

Also as said you can use a third party. But it’s likely you’ll lose Face ID and True Tone.

I had this same problem a few months ago. The issue was that my phone had downloaded 1 iOS update and then another dot release update and having 2 updates was freaking it out. Went into storage and deleted both updates, restarted phone, went to update again and it redownloaded the update and went through with no problems. Hope this helps.

Yeah… They sent back my phone for a screen replacement because of a chip or scratch on the back of the phone and quoted me like $400 to fix the whole thing..

Another time, they said my front facing camera wasn’t working when I took my phone in for a battery recall, I managed to be on vacation and have plenty of pictures taken with my front facing camera that day before I took it in. They actually replaced it that time for free with no Apple Care. They said they probably forgot to reconnect it and didn’t want to reopen it, so they just handed me a new phone.

The original AirPods were okay in terms of sound quality, but the 2nd gen really made some improvements in that department as well as other quality of life improvements.

  1. Sound is much more pleasing and less vanilla. More sub bass, better separation, and clearer vocal.
  2. Noise cancellation is better at reducing sounds that aren’t just constant rumbles.
  3. Adaptive transparency works.
  4. Automatic switching and connecting is much quicker and more reliable.
  5. Integrated U1 chip and speaker in the case so you can find it easier.
  6. Battery life is incredible. I usually get around 6 hrs with ANC/transparency, which means they can stay on from the moment I leave the house through taxi, airport, plane, and all the way until I check into the hotel.

HOWEVER, YMMV when it comes to all the subjective experiences. In terms of call quality, I just don’t know. You can hear people super well yes, but the microphone is nothing special.

I’ll tell you what happened

They use a special device that Apple designed themselves that’s used to heat and then remove the display from the frame enough to open the phone up, and someone probably forgot to take it off or just wasn’t paying attention, and it melted a component in the side button.

How do I know this? A mixture of having five+ years of phone experience, and I’ve also had this exact thing happen. They were supposed to replace the display on my 12 pro, but they broke the volume down button with the machine that’s supposed to open it up. They had to replace my entire phone for free. Good times.
