The cost of replaceing a cracked glass face through the Apple Store

What the you know what APPLE!
I accidentally dropped my iPhone in my driveway yesterday, only to pick it up and discover that the face had been cracked. So I figure know big deal, surely this can't cost that much to get replaced, after all it is the most susceptible thing to break on this phone with a LARGE GLASS SCREEN ON THE FRONT OF IT!
So, I stroll into my local Apple store and speak with one of the technical service reps on the floor who informs me that the replacement price for the glass is going to be $199. With sticker shock, I said $199! Your kidding me right! That's what I paid to buy the phone.
So, then I asked, how long the repair usually takes? The person tells me about 15 minutes. This makes me even more upset!
My question is how can Apple, fully knowing that this is probably going to be the number one hardware claim on this device, try to charge the consumer $200 for a thin piece of glass! It didn't even cost me that much to get a new windshield for my car!!!
Come on people, think, think!!!
I will not be buying another iPhone until they can come up with something a little more durable, maybe a plastic screen that doesn't crack! I think you need to go back to the drawing board boys and girls, or at least come up with a more reasonable price for glass replacement.

    what will be the cost of replacing a battery in the apple store..??

    Apple has a battery replacement program for some devices sold between Dec 12 and Jan 13.
    Check your device if it's eligible for this program or not https://www.apple.com/support/iphone5-battery/other_countries.html
    Besides, go to any App Store and ask them to run ADR test for your device and will see the battery life. If it seems fail or consumed then you should replace the battery. If seems pass, then restore your device if you think battery drains too fast.
    see the pricing Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
    choose the country from list and will see the all info upon service costs

    What is the cost to replace iPhone 4S speakers

    Clean the dock connector with a soft, dry brush.  Clean out the headphone jack.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    Deciding that a hardware issue exists before doing basic troubleshooitng is just jumping to conclusions.

  • How much is the cost for replacing iphone 4 display?

    how much is the cost for replacing iphone 4 display?

    Apple will replace it, and the replacement comes with a 90-day warranty.
    There are some legitimate, high quality repair centers that often can fix phones for less than replacement cost and offer at least 90 warranty...
    Or maybe the OP knows that the broken display is not covered under warranty, which is why he was asking for the cost, but he still may have a warranty that just wouldn't cover him in this case.
    The warranty is all or none.  If the phone were damaged so as to void warranty coverage on the display, there is no remaining warranty on the rest of the device.
