Every time I call Apple customer service, they tell me to box up my device and send it in to be replaced. The human element is nice but it's hardly a panacea - you need trained customer support.


That is a bit inconvenient but replacing a faulty device is an example of excellent customer service


that's minimal, not excellent


In a land of below-minimal customer support, minimal customer support becomes excellent.


Also, calling them is an exception path. If you take it into the store, they’re more likely to try fixing it first (often same day).


When you ship them a computer, that also gets repaired. They may replace enough components that it’s essentially new, but it’s a repair.
