Screen protector for iPhone

[Dan]

Yeah as above. No difference in typing or anything. Phone doesn't know it's there.

They do work quite well actually Dave, my missus has a 6 and twice she's had the phone knocked from her tiny hands (she's 1,5m and 45kg hah) and both times the glass protector has smashed but the phone has been in perfect shape!

 

[Dan]

This is the Ferrari of screen protectors. Or JCB. Depending on how you see it.

I wouldn't take to mine with a hammer and I can't see this Ebay one being as good.

I dropped my phone the week I had it and ended up paying 270 quid for a repair by Apple! Bar stewards.

 

[Old Mod]

Ouch! That's gone up!
Used to be 169.00

 

[Dan]

I got 3 prices off them and it increased every time. Ended up falling out with a manager but he didn't budge on price still!

I absolutely despise the firm. But their tech is well made.

People always say Apple add features late. And they're right. But when Apple adds a feature (like nfc or Apple watch or whatever) it gets 20 times the amount of users the whole market had combined beforehand. And that makes things work. Banks get on board then and listen. Phone networks change masts for Apple.

No other firm has that power.

 

[Old Mod]

Definitely powerful company and it is good tech.
Trouble is once u use it u can't get out! Haha

Only cost me £79 for a new screen on a 6

 

[Dan]

From Apple?

 

[Dave]

From Apple?

I took mine into the Apple Store , so yes... From Apple.

 

[Dave]

The cost is £86 if you post your phone to them , but if you take it to the store yourself it's £79..

Gits screwed me then.

I paid for a replacement phone, dropped off at my door, then the bloke too my phone at the same time, so I just transferred my data to the new phone, then they confirmed it was only screen damaged, and refunded SOME of the cost of the new phone back to me.

So perhaps it was the way I did it.

I'd pay the same again not to visit a store. lol

This will be why you got charged more to start with ..

Quote: When you request screen repair online or by phone, Apple will place an authorization on your credit card to cover the iPhone out-of-warranty cost. We’ll charge this amount if your iPhone has additional damage and is eligible for out-of-warranty service. If your iPhone has no damage other than the screen, we’ll charge the amount below. Learn more.

So you got charged out of warranty price I suppose..

 

[Dan]

Yeah sounds like it.

Was nearly a year ago now!

Do a 7 aren't we soon?

 

[Old Mod]

Not done any of this with a six but the way it used to work with the 5 is £59.99 for screen then £169 if there was an actual problem with the phone. If they fixed it for less u got a refund of the diff. If it was anymore serious ur £169 got u a brand new phone with a used processor!
I got mine wet and I knew someone in a store, (they've left now) but I paid £59.99 for screen and got a new refurb phone
