You know what? I love Apple’s products, but their customer service sucks worse than Meghan McCain if she were underwater. Really, I’m struggling for a comparison here. Needless to say, it’s bad.
Apparently, iPhones can distract bears. Which I am thankful for, because I am about to get one, and am also secretly Dwight Schrute. And apparently, a woman, named Kris Rowley was attacked by a bear while walking through the woods, and used her iPhone to narrowly escape. Here’s where the story gets awesome. She came back the next day, to get her iPhone. After being attacked by a bear. So one can assume that either she really enjoys Apple products, or is the most badassed person to walk the earth. Armed only with a bat, she retrieved her phone, which was chewed up, and brought it to an Apple store.
They refused to believe her story about being attacked by a bear. They being the Geniuses at Apple’s Genius bar. Whom I’ve discovered, despite wearing glasses, may not be geniuses. So she had to buy a new one, because warranties don’t cover using the iPhone for self-defense applications. Need to taser a bear? Apparently there’s not an app for that.
But if anyone else has stories of iPhones beating off sharks or stopping bullets, I’d love to hear them. Maybe I phrased that poorly.
