iPhone returns from service with 'official iPhone tool'

by Darren Murph, posted Aug 3rd 2007 at 2:46PM


Call us crazy, but it certainly appears that Apple's unofficially official iPhone tool has ripped off MacGyver's lifeline. According to an iPhone user that sent his handset in for warranty service, it arrived back with this here piece of equipment, complete with Apple's famed display label and plastic bag. Heck, if having a malfunctioning iPhone is the only way to snag one of these bad boys, we're definitely crossing our fingers for an excuse to send ours in.

AppleCare for iPhone now available

We're aware that not everybody feels the need to jump on the AppleCare bandwagon, but if you worry that the one year warranty isn't going to cut it for you, for $69 bucks, you can have two -- unless you live in Alabama, Connecticut, Nevada, and Wyoming, of course. We knew most of the details on this guy at launch time, but were pleasantly surprised to see that this'll cover your Apple Bluetooth headset as well as the handset. So if you've been itching to get at this added bit of security, take a deep breath, then hit the read link to wander over to the Apple Store.

Apple starting to swap out those dirty MacBooks?

by Ryan Block, posted Jun 28th 2006 at 11:27PM

As with many things when it comes to AppleCare support, your mileage may vary, but AppleInsider apparently started to receive word that the Macbook discoloration issue is starting to result in some few-or-no-questions-asked returns, Apple simply offering up whole laptop replacements just like that. Now, we're not guaranteeing results or anything should you march that blemished MacBook into an Apple Store and foist it upon the first Genius you see, but it's a start, right? Anyone else having good luck getting their laptop taken care of?
