So it took me a while to even write this post because the ending is so tragic, but yesterday, on my way home from the gym, I dropped my phone. Not a big deal for some, but I have an Iphone. Which has a glass face, not plastic to give it clarity and function for its touch/heat sensor screen. I have dropped it a few times before and never been the worse for wear, but yesterday I dropped it onto the ice, then cement and it broke. The poor face of my sweet little iphone shattered and spiderwebbed on the top 1/3 of the phone. Still usable yes, but damaged, broken, and no longer my shiny, fancy, very loved phone. I have never loved an object as much as my little iphone, and now it will never be the same.
I have an appointment with Apple tommorrow, at the Genius Bar (the tech's) to see what can be done to save my phone and restore it to its shiny newness. I have very low expectations. Since the damage is definitely a user mistake, I highly doubt the warranty will cover this repair. There is something called Out of Warranty Service that I have a sneaking suspicion will do the trick - only problem is it costs $229 CAN to fix... so with the original cost of the phone (which is less than 6 months old) and this Out of Warranty Service, I will have spent over $450 on a phone, which is something I am having a VERY hard time swallowing.
I am trying to get a picture or two posted, but the quality of the photo's are just not turning out. I will stick with it and post the sad sorry state of my once shiny, perfect, and still loved little iphone.
xoxo
