Sadly today, I need to take my wife’s iPhone to an Apple store for a replacement. This is will be the 7th iPhone between the two of us. Here are the problems we encountered:
- The earphone jack stopped working, phone replaced
- The battery would not hold a charge, phone replaced
- The camera would only take blurry pictures, phone replaced
- The battery would not hold a charge, phone replaced
- The phone continually docks, pending
These are the first generation phones and I’m glad we purchased the warranty before our expiration period. Although they are very good about giving a replacement, I would much prefer to have the phone last longer. My old Nokia was indestructable. You could use it as a hockey puck and it kept working. It was also a very simple device. It only made calls. It was a phone, nothing more.
Nice to see you blogging again. How long are you going to keep your iPhone?
A long time. Which is why it can break. There is nothing else I’d use.
