Anyone have their iPhone 6 screen replaced yet?

Question

has anyone had to have their Iphone 6 screen replaced yet at an Apple Store? Was it pain free? How fast was it?

Answer 1

I hope yours doesn't break anytime soon. Because I have found out that no one can repair them yet locally at least. unless you send them to Apple.
After leaving dinner 2 nights ago  My iPhone 6 dropped out of my pocket as I was getting into my car.  It was less than 2 feet and I had a case on my phone and still my screen shattered. I have to say I was  really shocked that it even broke. My iPhone 5 was dropped dozens of times on all kinds of hard surfaces and never broke.
I figured that I would get it take care of if I called Verizon the next day, but they told me they couldn't do anything. Then I remembered the local Apple store helped me last year when my suspend button wasn't working on my 5 and those Apple guys made myself, a cautious and doubtful customer walk out very happy with my first experience with Apple. I really didn't expect to have had a resolution when I went, but I did and they exceeded my expectations and I told my friends how great the Apple store and support was.
So I called the store and was put on hold, after waiting a a couple of minutes to talk to someone, I figured I would just create an appointment and take  an hour lunch, so I could get there, and see if the local Apple store could fix my iPhone 6. I figured I didn't need to call. Why wouldn't they be able to help me?
So I made it to the local Apple and met with one of the  Employees and showed him my iPhone 6 which had  tape and a screen protector on it to keep the glass from falling  apart. The employee told me that they could replace the screen for $109, that was great news, only  the store didn't have the equipment to fix it yet and probably wouldn't for a couple weeks, but If I wanted they would swap mine for a new one for $299. Unfortunately I didn't have the money to shell out for that, I just got the my iPhone 6 the other week. The guy said well if you can live with it just check back in a week or 2 and hopefully they will have the equipment. Needless to say I left there a little disappointed.
I really needed to get my phone fixed. When I got back to the office I called around and found that nobody could repair them yet.  The guy at Batteries Plus even said that he hoped that they would be able to repair them soon, because he already had people calling and stopping by wanting to get the iPhone 6 screens repaired.
I figured I wasn't going to give up. I thought that maybe if I get in touch with the someone directly through Apple.com, there might be another solution.  I got in touch with them through the chat support  and I could send it in for repair. I told them that I only have one phone and I can't send it in and and be with out a phone for 5-7 day while my screen is fixed. I felt like this script went back and forth a little bit and then I was told once again that I could send it in and have it fixed and that I could just use another phone. I had to once again tell her I didn't have another phone and that I just traded my iPhone 5 in to get the iPhone 6 and had I know that I was going to have these kind of problem I would have just kept my iPhone 5. I thanked her for her help and told her that I was getting frustrated.
I was told the she was going to transfer me to her supervisor. I was told by Ali, "The Supervisor" that he was reviewing the chat and he would be right with me. I thought great he will see what has already transpired and hopefully I can get my phone fixed without having to send it in. Nope same script as the girl before.  I was also told to try another Apple store an hour away from me and maybe they could replace my screen. I am sorry, but maybe they could replace it? These are Apple stores! How is it that Apple does not know whether one of its store can fix my screen or not. So I am a  little more frustrated.  I told them I work 11-12 hour a day 6 days a week. At some point I was told something like I could pay $299 then I would get reimbursed after it was fixed and only end up paying $109. Really It was some crap like that. I guess he missed were I said I didn't have $299 otherwise I would have replaced it at the store.
Really though by this time I was done, the frustration was not worth it. I figured my phone is taped up no more shards of glass to fall off or stick to my finders. I will wait until whenever they finally get the equipment that they need at my local Apple store to repair my screen.  You guys probably should have had that equipment ready at stores when the iPhone 6 was released.
Good Luck!
