Check serial # on site to see if your phone is eligible. I read about this on a thread over on Slick Deals - "Apple iPhone 5 Sleep/Wake Button Recall" and a lot of people had this problem and paid out of pocket to fix it. Hopefully Apple will refund them for this being it was a factory defect.

Check this out (from the Apple page):
If you require a loaner during the time that your iPhone is being serviced, participating Apple Retail Stores and Apple Authorized Service Providers will have iPhone 5 models (16GB only) available.
That's pretty darn good service, considering the repair is being done for free already.

Apple will have the Chinese workers organs harvested for this indiscretion!

I plan on buying their stock. I will sell my Ford stock as it has meandered between $9 and $17+ dollars now for years. Highest it got was a bit below $19 over 3 years ago.

If I bought Apple ($125) when I instead bought Ford at the end of April 2009 ($5.25) I would have about 100% more money when at it’s peak of $700 then Ford (now at lower price it would be about 50% more). For 1 year from 2009, Ford outperformed Apple. Ford was and is a safe bet but cannot do much in the democrat bad economy. Now if I bought Apple in 2003 when I had more money to invest instead of gateway (which is why I have less money now...) I would be a millionaire.

I figure with the new iPhone 6 coming in Sept and flexible screen phones coming after that, that the stock hopefully will go up and up.

I may “only” double my money. Any suggestions on stock to make me rich? : )
