Do not depend on Apple Care

My phone got run over by a truck. This is an iPhone 13 Max (biggest best). Tried repair of face. He didn’t want to do it. Thought it was damaged inside. So opted to get a new phone from apple through apple care. Which I pay for. No way!
The apple care app on my iPad. When putting in for deposit. In case I don’t return the damaged phone. Rejected payment on three cards. Then apple care rep was awful. Last I heard from them. They were sending me emails the next day. Saying they’re trying to call my backup number and no answer.
I got it done through technical support. After the goofy computer that kept insisting I was calling about a new battery transferred me there. Technical support was great. But apple care was only looking for excuses to do nothing. And their computer put out a fraud alert on my cards.
Worse…. Fed ex decided to not deliver. Excuse used was business closed. At least fed ex’s computer comprehends “########!” . Now I’m not getting it till Tuesday. When Friday delivery guaranteed.
I am so pissed. I’ve considered telling my office to refuse to sign for it on Tuesday. I’m considering selling the new iPhone on eBay when I get home. I am not a happy camper.

 

I got a tracfone to get by. But had to get something to put my SIM card in. Best Buy didn’t have any s22’s of any type in any store in Denver. Only thing they had was an S21. I took it.

 

Do have to admit. It’s a tough phone. Along with the protector cover.

 

I did have a backup phone. It was a de-googled android. I used to use it when on home time. No tracking, some privacy. Found out through this. They eliminated 3g. That phone won’t work anymore.

 

I just sent the replacement phone straight back. The statement to apple was worth more than the money.
The fraud alert kept chasing me. Nothing high dollar online with my main card. Finally had it out with that one today.
This is disgusting!
I decided to get a Flip3. They’ve knocked down the price. Flip4 coming. Doesn’t seem like much of an improvement. My old Razr was the only cell phone I ever loved. Hope this one I like as much.
Edit: One reviewer said: This is a phone for someone that doesn’t want to stare at the screen all day. ..He’s right. I hope I love it. Never did want to put my 13promax in my pocket. Too big. Which is a big factor why it got damaged. …Would have waited on the razr4. Will cost me a good $400+ more. I’ve wasted too much money already. Got 256/16 for $899
