So you knew it’s not the general case, and yet you said it anyway.
You are claiming that there is a ‘location’ where Apple themselves in general need to send off a phone for a battery replacement, one of the most common repairs.
Which Apple Store was that? Where is it located? We can easily enough ask them what the general turnaround time for a battery replacement is.
Are you an actual Apple employee with some power to help me (or help the situation in general)? If so I'd be really glad and more than willing to share all my information with you! Let me know. We buy Apple products worth roughly ~$10-30k every year depending on the stuff we are getting so I'm afraid that we are not that big to be interesting by ourselves but we are certainly bigger than 3 iPhones a year :-)
I'd be the first person to actually celebrate having some official way to either repair my stuff or at the very least a way to get genuine parts without having to jump through multiple artificial hoops designed just to piss me off.
By your own indirect admission you cannot change anything so why bother? I don't really care if you personally believe me or not. Sorry.
An honest person would have no reason to hide the location. I think it’s fairly clear that you’ve been caught in a lie.
Your offer is that I should disclose information about my whereabouts so you can do nothing to help me. Well thank you for this opportunity but I think I will politely decline. :-D
As I said earlier: If you cannot help me at all, I have no interest in proving anything to you. Sorry.
Are you afraid that some harm will come to you if you name an Apple Store that was slow to repair a phone?
Nobody is asking you to disclose your whereabouts. Just tell us which Apple Store took 2 weeks to repair a phone, if indeed there is one.
