Honey, there's a reason so many people line up in the Apple store to get the newest iGadget that comes out. Apple products are awesome (except for autocorrect... sometimes).

even if you don't buy one it should naturally come with a 30-90 day warranty but it still sucks breaking it on the first day

I had a one year warranty on my iPhone, it comes with it when you get the phone. Don't worry OP it's all good.

Unfortunately warranty doesn't cover physical damage...only manufactures defects.

118- My younger brother dropped his and all of a sudden it stopped turning on, and had a huge crack on the screen. We sent it in and got a new one free of charge.

All apple products come with a one year warranty. That does not cover accidental or water damage. Just manufacturable defects and software. If you buy apple care plus which is now on the iPhone and iPad it covers two accidentals within two years at a 50$ deductible to get a new one.

I have probably gotten around 7 new iPhones from apple all for free, and most of the time it was because I had dropped my phone. The warranty still covered it. Or maybe I was just really convincing?

7? rly?..is that a number you want to tell people? Sorry but it seems like most people telling stories about broken iPhones dont know how robust they are, I had mine in situations where I thought for sure the screen should have cracked...still looks like new:) and Well I've had a version og the iphone for about 5-6 years, The only one I ever broke was the 3GS and it had survived falling in a pile of snow, submersion, and battering(combat training and afganistan tour)..finally a steel table leg took out The screen, but by then it was time for the 4s so preordered that.

I got one recently and they have a year manufacturers warranty meaning if something is wrong with it like the software. You can buy a 2 year warranty and they will replace your phone no matter what. But apple are really great when it comes to customer service and seem to make exceptions

I pay $10 AUS for insurance, it only covers mechanical faults. It has cost me $150 to get the screen fixed each time I smashed it.

Or maybe you're a female? I had an iPhone that wouldn't turn on at all brand new out of the box, and even after charging, when I pulled it off the charger it died. They STILL tried to charge me full price for a new phone

Lol anyone who bad mouths the iPhone gets mad thumbs down. iPhones aren't that great relative to other phones on the market today. The fact that more people have them than other phones should be attributed to better marketing.

Actually apple is worth more than the US even if apple was worth 0.01cAUD (0.00961USD) cos the US is in trillions worth of debt. The last fork out Australia has given them is $200bnAUD

Whoh. I ticked off the iphone people fo sho. Sorry I have never had a problem with my phone. I rooted it and made a custom flavor of android for my personal liking. The only issue I ever had was sprint. So sorry to have ticked you all off because I have a different preference and like to customize my phone for my specific liking.

Most people here i want to say are on their iPhones. I'm currently using a Samsung phone and i have to say I'm having none of those problems you reported. I've used a iPhone for about four years and Android Samsung phones for about three and iPhones aren't bad at all but feature wise, iPhones are lacking.

Well 210, my phone does a lot more customization, it has NFC, a much bigger and better looking screen(let's be honest, retina display isn't thaaaat big a difference), better processor and camera and all that stuff, a real upgrade from the last phone, thinner lighter and more durable with Gorilla Glass and a hard shell, and currently 200 dollars cheaper than the iPhone. IPhones not really bad or anything, but when it comes down to it...

When I got an iPod I had to pay for music I already had! Apple might be successful but I'll always prefer windows. Why? Because windows is compatible with anything. Apple is compatible with Mac and apple. Nothing else. To that I say PIECE OF SH!T!!!!

I do have a theory on the subject...
OP was skipping down the street whistling a happy tune with new phone in hand. Suddenly while crossing the street OP dropped their phone as a car came into view barreling closer and closer, OP had to make a quick decision whether or not too risk their life to save the wonderous iPhone, but just as they were about to leap in harms way a heroic stranger grabbed OP and pulled them to safety. There was fire, explosions and the sound of steal to pavement as the car crashed into oncoming traffic and finally dropped into the river and quickly became submerged with water. "Oh no! This is horrible" said OP, "I don't see my amazing new iPhone anywhere!" OP wept and sniffled when she saw a gleam of light, could it be? Yes it was her -super awesome overpriced- smart phone! "Hooray!" OP belted out.
~later that night
OP went to use their glorious new iPhone only to drop it in the toilet, OP "$&@%!"

Come on! 57's comment was clever! Those old Nokias are indestructible, but if you even drop your iPhone, the entire screen shatters.

What pisses me off is that it is made out of glass. Not only do you have to protect the front screen, but the back can crack too. It's bullshit. I got the back of mine replaced with metal.
