Iphone 5 Fucked - Any Insurance Bids On Here?

Right

 

I've had this iPhone 5 for 51 weeks

 

Manufacturers warranty runs out any day (if it is still 12 months with apple)

 

The fucker keeps freezing, turning off etc

 

My technical opinion is that it's fucked

 

How do I go about getting it sorted? Tip up at the apple shop in the Trafford centre kicking and screaming or ring up the insurance (been paying £9.99 a month since I had it)

 

Advice please........

 

Edit- just seen the title ffs, stupid phone!! Insurance bids on here!!

Do both, cover all bases.

Go to the apple shop, they will just straight swap it

My went in the O2 shop for a similar reason and kicked off like fuck and came away with nothing.

 

He then sent is rather attractive mrs to have a go and she came out with a brand new phone.

 

Send your peg in wearing a low cut top mate.

 

(Take some pictures and post them on here as well)

That's what I heard, they can duck you off by saying it must have got wet

 

My mate suggested smashing it with a hammer as then the insurance won't possibly be able to refuse

 

I thought about it at first before realising it was a barny idea

 

Smashing your own phone with a hammer, deary me

 

His next suggestion was dropping it down the bog

apple store quick while it's in warranty. They'll swap it no fuss.

Do you need an appointment or just nip in?

Just in case

 

Rub your cock all over it before you take it in the shop. If you don't get the result you wanted you can still leave feeling like you won.

 

Somehow.

If you nip in and wait, you will be told it will be a long time, but it tends to be less. If they say an hour it will probably be 30 mins. Book an appointment if you can, but they tend to get booked up early.

Type your imei number into this site and that will tell you when warranty runs out if it's still in book a appointment and they'll just swap it for you to get your imei dial *#06# the web site is http://www.iphoneox.com/

It says expired but also that the contract runs out in September 2014 when really it runs out in December 2014

 

Will call the store

I thought apple products never broke?

Warranties on phones are a load of bollocks, surely the lifespan of a iPhone should exceed 12 months. I'd try Martin Lewis website like it did with our fridge, useful tips usually on there.
