YAY! I picked up my replacement phone today. The store calls me at about 8:45PM, “Your replacement phone is here ready for exchange.”

“Great, what time do you close?”

“9PM”

…great.

I’m thinking, OK, I could just pick it up tomorrow. No, that won’t do. The battery is swelling up and of course if I wait, with my luck, that would be the day the battery blows up. Nope, picking it up today. I hop on the bike and race there. Luckily I don’t live far from the store. When I get there there’s already maybe 10 people in front of me with the same battery exchange problem. Odd thing is, my phone did not fall under the replacement battery warranty/recall. But since I had the swelling and was pushing up my screen from the body, they exchanged it out.

So, now I sit here with a brand new phone. I lucked out this time, normally every time I leave that place I have to spend more money to get it fixed…

Brought in my iPhone cause the screen was coming apart. Lucky for me (I guess) the battery was swelling and they have to replace it for free! My rare lucky day. However, they’re out everywhere, so I have to wait a few days until I can get a new one. Oh well. Worth it to get a NEW one. Now, what does Apple have in store for the iPhone 6?
