    That doesn’t match my experience with Apple at all.
    I had a 9 month old faulty phone, Apple swapped it for me. It was from 3 (the network).

    I then bought its replacement direct (cash back credit card with 0%, very MSE!) and 2.5 years in it developed a charging socket problem.
    Swapped in store with no fuss.
    Lucky you, there has been a lot of threads on here regarding people taking their phones back to Apple for a resolution only to be told "sorry if you bought it from us we would have replaced it right away" some even say they know it's a known problem but can't help because it wasn't bought direct from apple.


    They don't even help those customers by putting this known fault in writing for them, so yes they are hypocrites.
