Sorry details may be fake, but I do believe an apple employee would pull some shot because policy dictates they sell new equipment over fixing old equipment.

Every apple fanboy I talk to gushes about how amazing the genius bar is, helping them when they get their iPhone stuck in their ass.

But every casual user who has different problems beyond getting an iPhone stuck in their ass seems to get the same response: "Buy the next version".

I dunno though I'm forced to use the apple products from work.

I was a tech in a store and covered a fee on a replacement device because it was the second time the guy had to come to us. I gave a young woman (student) a free laptop because she'd had a super long repair history during my last week in that role. Apple conditions their retail employees to treat customers well and it's something I missed getting to do for people forever after.

When I moved to the mothership, the only mantra was always about doing right by our customers. When I was interviewing for that gig, I asked one of the interviewers what he considered challenging about the job and he said that (coming from Microsoft to Apple) the company had an "insane" focus on its customers. It really is a top-down attitude. The company may be high sniffing their own farts, but they believe they're uniquely focused on doing the right thing.
