Next thing to be killed by Google in 3, 2, 1...
This is why for the first time in my life I ordered an iPhone. My domains being sold off to squarespace was the final straw for me.
To be fair here... Apple doesn't repair Apple Watches either. If you have AppleCare they still just replace it with a refurbished unit.
Google doesn't even have a similar program though.
To be honest, I’d prefer they did that.
Faster turnaround for the consumer and the old unit get put into the pool for the next refurb.
100% agreed. Repair or replacement to be honest makes no difference for me. Having repaired phones, tablets, etc. in retail for years (both OEM certified for Apple, Samsung, LG, etc. and third party) there is often no way to properly repair things like a device frame which can prevent a good screen from being installed correctly.
The fact they don't have that as an option at all is a major issue.
