Perhaps the very reason I never took out extended warranties : I somehow trust the Apple products and was convinced of its superieur quality and reliability and for that I didn’t mind paying premium prices for these products. Now ,as I always treat my tech products as members of the family, I have never had one single problem with any of my Apple products I mean Genius Bar is something I know that it exists but never had to use it. This week my MacBook Pro A1706 bought in early 2018 goes from working well in the morning to when returning home staring up with the flashing carpet : Took it to the nearest authorised official Apple repair centre and get presented a 760 euro repair bill as they claim it is SSD fault and the Logic board needs replacing. Over these all these years I have owned nearly every model IPhone, had several IMacs, MacBooks ( the white one always was my favourite ) Pro’s, IPads, IPods, AirPort/ Extreme and so on. As an long-standing Apple fan as far back from my first Apple Cube to queuing up in the rain to get my hands on a first gen iPhone on release day at Apple store in Bordeaux, France.
