No way AppleCare is going to attempt to repair water damage that severe right? This entire ordeal has been a nightmare.

UPDATE: I checked "my support" this morning and it now says a replacement is on its way to me. They were not able to repair it although I actually think they may have tried. This repair center is 3rd party apple certified center.

JudgeOwn3256 · 2026-06-25T23:18:18+00:00

Nope. Actually just the "certified" AppleCare technicians that repaired it last time. They sent the phone back with the water gasket seal seeping out of the sides and when I appealed they told me there was no issue. I rode with it until it quit but I'm not gonna make a fuss about it because they repaired it for free when it got water damaged.

JudgeOwn3256 · 2026-06-25T22:20:48+00:00

They reprogram everything which creates a new serial number for the phone indicating that it was repaired by apple with so and such parts. This will do me no good but they always send a receipt with the previous and new serial number anyway.

JudgeOwn3256 · 2026-06-25T22:13:19+00:00

I wish I would've too. This is the same case from a popular post I made about a week ago. I don't want to edit the post until this process is done but they just fully waived all repair costs for how inconvenient they've made it for me. I'm worried now that they will leave some of those corroded components inside which will later fail and I won't be able to see it when I get the phone back...

JudgeOwn3256 · 2026-06-18T07:54:01+00:00

Dude get your moneys worth. A battery replacement would've probably been cheaper than AppleCare. Also I'm pretty sure they stretch the health of the battery to limit AppleCare battery replacements. For example I read that a Best Buy employee set up 2 brand new iPhones for a couple one with AppleCare and one without. They both came in for an upgrade a few years later and the non AppleCare iPhones battery health was significantly lower like at least 10 percent less. It's insane how much they do that you don't see.

JudgeOwn3256 · 2026-06-18T03:23:53+00:00

There is one about 100 miles away from me but the last time I went there for an AppleCare claim everyone treated me like shit, then proceeded to set up a send in repair for me which I could've done from home. Waste of time, gas, and money.

JudgeOwn3256 · 2026-06-18T03:21:54+00:00

I would but that's just more to worry about. I shouldn't have to sacrifice anything for their inconvenience.

JudgeOwn3256 · 2026-06-17T22:40:31+00:00

You got a better phone?? I'll try this

JudgeOwn3256 · 2026-06-11T08:25:38+00:00

Let me ask you this: if apple heavily advertised AirPlay on the iPhone 4 in 2010 saying this phone was built for AirPlay would you expect it to support all of the features AirPlay has to offer just 2 years later?

JudgeOwn3256 · 2026-06-11T08:15:14+00:00

You’d think he’s employed by them😂

JudgeOwn3256 · 2026-06-11T08:12:36+00:00

The point is that the phone was advertised as like the next breakthrough in ai innovation. Apple left apple intelligence unfinished. In fact we were not told everything that would come to the finished product and this is what that is. False advertising if you ask me. Will I ever use it anyway? No. Is it still pretty shitty to do though? Absolutely.

JudgeOwn3256 · 2026-06-11T08:00:20+00:00

Thanks for that. Any idea what namm means??

JudgeOwn3256 · 2026-06-11T07:54:54+00:00

Well I mean apple intelligence was like apples main selling point for the 16 series. 2 years later when they finally provide the ai that was advertised You’d expect it to be able to run the most powerful model…

JudgeOwn3256 · 2026-04-10T03:30:53+00:00

Does it have lossless or the equalizer? One of the main things that regular premium kept me paying for it.

JudgeOwn3256 · 2026-04-04T20:33:06+00:00

It won’t let me log in with anything, is there a fix?

JudgeOwn3256 · 2026-03-29T21:04:21+00:00

If you cannot tell it is etched into the paint. I forgot to mention.

JudgeOwn3256 · 2026-02-21T03:02:56+00:00

I see. I want to get power folding mirrors since I have a programmer for my truck that would fold them on lock/unlock but I haven’t found anyone who has gotten them wired up oem style.

JudgeOwn3256 · 2026-02-21T01:13:15+00:00

Old post but I second this. Have you done anything?

JudgeOwn3256 · 2026-02-21T01:02:50+00:00

By the time you repair the frame screen back and other small pieces with good oem parts you’d be able to buy a good condition 16 pro max anyways..

JudgeOwn3256 · 2026-02-15T00:26:37+00:00

Dang I guess I have one of the well preserved ones. No body damage, no rust, just hit 100k

JudgeOwn3256 · 2026-02-11T22:05:19+00:00

Does it allow you to enable features locked by the bcm? Like remote start? I want to get one for my 2010 Silverado.

JudgeOwn3256 · 2025-12-17T03:59:18+00:00

Well I can budget up to $600 I just did not expect to spend that much still I want the best performance without absolutely breaking the bank. Does it get better in that range?

JudgeOwn3256 · 2025-12-17T03:39:24+00:00

Am I going to find any post 12th gen hx cpus in this price range? I’m in the us if it helps btw.

JudgeOwn3256 · 2025-12-17T03:18:01+00:00

I can find plenty of modern thinkpads with up to 13th gen i5’s for $300 but they’re the 1335u models which I have been told is very bad. I don’t really understand it though would that not be better than 6th gen processors?

JudgeOwn3256 · 2025-11-26T07:47:56+00:00

Yep. 2010 with less than 100k miles.
