My iPhone external speaker suddenly fizzled last night, with crazy distortion. It shocked me because the 2G never really was loud enough to blow a speaker, but it happened.
Anyway I called Apple Care today, and they informed me that I was 7 Days out of warranty and they probably couldn’t help me. I told him that my family was crazy for Apple and we basically decorate our homes with their products, he laughed so hard. Then he said hang on, and left for about 5 minutes. When he returned the product specialist granted me a CSCode, which means I can run in to the Calgary store tomorrow and they will swap out my old iphone for a new or refurbished one! SCORE!

Gentle Reader: Should you know Daria, and her unfailingly kind and directly indirect ways, you might be inclined to think “Great approach, Daria”. If you do not know Daria, you might think: “What a clever way to seek assistance from Apple”. Both would be possible perhaps, even likely, but in this instance, incorrect. Fact is, Iit is a generational malady, we truly DO decorate our homes with Apple products.
You rock Daria! Really who could resist your charm and enthusiasm ! HOw exciting… perhaps i will be seeing you!
