When I spilled water on my rMBP, I knew that the display and SSD still worked, even though the mainboard and top case were hosed, but I had no way to prove it. My local Apple Store would not under any circumstances test the parts individually, instead wanting me to get a quote on a repair. My local AASP had all the equipment to test the display, the proprietary SSD, and other components. They did it for a small fee. I sold the working parts and recovered my insurance deductible, so I paid nothing in the end for my accident. Oh, and it only took them half a day.

So I have some very slight discolouration in the top left of my 6s+ screen. It's less than a year since I bought it from my carrier (outright). What sort of recourse do I have? It's not bad but definitely noticeable when viewing documents. I'm pretty sure it's not water damage. The rest of the screen is fine and I've always used a case.

You can take it to an Apple Store and they will likely replace it with a new display. It's still under warranty. If there's no local Apple Stores, you can call Applecare. I had a screen replaced on one of my phones for a tiny bright spot.

Absolutely take it in. Thanks! I'm in Ireland so the closest thing we have to an Apple store is an AASP but I'll give them a call, I know a guy who works there and they sorted out my rMBP with a new monitor after the delimination thing.

So, since Apple is a bunch of cunts with their self imposed iPhone 7 Plus lack of availability in the year 2016 (wtf), I sold my iPhone 6 Plus on eBay and will be out of a phone for a month from the way shipping dates are looking. How badly is it looked upon to cancel an eBay transaction before shipping and cancel the auction, refund the buyer's money? I'd rather just wait a couple of months when the 7 Plus is more available and relist my 6 Plus. The part that sucks is that it sold for $405 and I know I won't get that a couple of month's from now.

Actually, Tim has specifically directed 7+'s away from his area. Steve never would have stood for this.

Anybody notice the lock screen turning on when you press the screen while it's asleep with os10? I have a 6s. If I randomly press the black screen with different combinations of fingers/pressure, eventually it turns on. I can even turn it on by breathing on the screen to clean it. Pretty sure touchid doesn't have my breath inputed.

I'm guessing you're doing this with the device in your hand? iOS 10 adds Raise to Wake, so the screen turns on whenever you pick up the device.

It kind of makes me mad that they are showing up in stores with unfulfilled preorders out there. What's the point in preordering in that situation?

It extra sucks because it's not as simple as canceling and buying one elsewhere since it will take up to 2 days for it to even hit AT&T that I canceled through Apple. It's some poo poo, it is.

Holy crap the Apple Store has gone downhill so badly in my area. Rather than speak to me and ask for a couple of details about why I'm there they just herded me into a line only to be told 10 minutes later I shouldn't even be in the line. Get your crap together apple. If I've got a reservation and that doesn't actually mean anything then drop the reservation nonsense.

Plug your phone in to charge and the press your ear against the upper backside (right about where the Apple logo is). I've had my Matte Black 256gb + for about an hour now and this is happening. Not a big deal though
