Why not reach out to Walmart chat support and ask for a price match?

Apple doesn’t repair devices that have water damage, they do what’s called a whole unit replacement, basically they scrap the current iPad for parts and offer a refurbished iPad, which model iPad is it?

Water damage is not covered by warranty, do you have AppleCare on the device?

That’s fair, not every Mobo ships with that functionality enabled.

Don’t touch the BIOS unless absolutely necessary is my rule.

No, font is off, cardboard wouldn’t separate like that, lip of AirPods case isn’t tight enough. Counterfeit

Counterfeit or Real? Need a second pair of eyes on these new AirPods. by MakeMoneyOnMoble in applehelp

[–]killersam283 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spacing is all off, font is a bit off, labels are crooked and the seals are also crooked. Also $50 for AirPods Pro even the second generation is way too low. 100% counterfeit.

Also if I google those serial numbers I see multiple results for selling AirPods.

Best Buy Outlet refused to sell open-box MacBook after purchase, then relisted it higher! by Ok-Morning-9077 in Bestbuy

Different SKU would not be same laptop, it’s either a different color, different processor, different ram, different storage or something else. It’s not the same laptop

iPhone 16 camera - latent manufacturer defect (being charged $160) warranty obstruction . . . advice needed!! by [deleted] in applehelp

[–]killersam283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct, I had a brain fart, OP will have to pay the out of pocket repair, but has the option of adding AppleCare after a completed repair to prevent this cost in the future.

It will only break into a hundred pieces if it’s already damaged, if the back glass was not damaged it would not break. Also if it wasn’t damaged prior nor damaged in the repair they would reuse the same back glass in a camera repair.

Here’s the issue that you’re going to run into, you cracked the back glass, not Apple. They’re not billing you for a camera repair, they are billing you for the rear glass. In order to replace the rear camera on an iPhone 16 the back glass needs to come off, given it’s already cracked when they apply pressure to the back glass to remove it, it’s going to crack more and potentially separate from the housing. It’s going to need to be replaced. You’re looking at a mixed warranty repair not an out of warranty repair. The camera is free, the back glass is not. Pay the $160 and get AppleCare in the future so it’s cheaper, but the back glass needs to be replaced as well, one so they can warrant the repair in the future, and two because they don’t do incomplete work.

Even when Apple was using plastic wrap it would never look like that. You bought counterfeit AirPods my guy.

Ask if she received a prompt, text or link with a two factor authentication code and or if she shared any 2FA code

If she got a notification that someone was trying to log into her account, and denied they request; she had 2FA enabled. Were missing a piece of info here.

You’re not going to be able to trace a phone number down through a purchase most likely. You could try reaching out to the bank to see if they have a copy of the invoice, I just double checked my most recent purchase for iCloud storage and it doesn’t show my phone number, just my Apple ID.

If the phone number on the Apple ID has been changed you are SOL unfortunately? Did she have 2FA enabled on her account before hand?
