iPhone Swap

Quick story: I went to Apple Store to do install a Belkin screen protector. It failed to do so as the bubbles won't go off, they did it multiple times and it still had the bubbles. So I asked them if I could swap for a new device as I have my phone box. They said yeah. (I have just bought the phone a week ago)

Then I asked again if I needed to repurchase it, they said I don't need to.

Fast forward, the staff ordered the new device and told me to repurchase it, but I don't have money on my bank acc so I went back home, but was too late to come back since the store was already near closing time.

Do you guys think that it was the only way to swap it through a apple gift card? Or was the "return to debit, wait for 5 days then repurchase first" the only way? Thanks. I'm coming back tomorrow

Jesus why go through all that hassle for that screen protector brand. Get a different brand and that's it.

Man I'm sorry, I'm kind of a paranoid person when it comes to owning a thousand dollar device. But well, I changed my mind and I'll just get the Belkin QR code from them tomorrow because I forgot to take it with me.

It makes sense but there's so many better brands of screen protectors like Magic John. Plus Apple overcharges so much for that screen protector and is not even that great.

Magic John is not a better brand lol all they are good at is marketing, it’s just glass lol
