If an i-device breaks on the first day and you take it to an Apple Store, the tech fixing it has:

* A repair manual

* Parts

* Tools

* The ability to replace your device on-the-spot with a new one if they brick it

When has an Apple Store had spares of their hot new phone available on the first day? A month out, sure, but come on.

Got my iphone 7p on the 1st week, noticed some small debris in the lens, went to my local Apple Store, they had the same device ready in stock as a replacement, in&out took 10 mins. (note my device is probably one of the most wanted one, Unlocked-128 black)

I broke my 6s+ the 2nd day after release and got it replaced the same day. They have separate replacement stock even at launch.

When the first iPads came out, I actually received mine by post a day or two before the official launch day. It worked for a few hours, then the screen wouldn't switch on. At that point, iPads were super rare. Rarer than any iPhones have been since then.

I went to my local Apple store on release day, showed them it wasn't working, and they swapped it out straight away, no questions asked.
