Now again Apple .... what are the chances

[Wish]

Last Christmas I purchased an iPad Pro for my son. Unwrapped Christmas Day and it didn’t work.

Well fek me this year I have purchased an Apple X and guess what. It dosent bloody work !!
No I have to head to blue water to get a replacement.

Going to call them tomorrow to see if I can return it for a refund (purchase online direct from Apple)and pop into stormfront Canterbury and buy a new one tomorrow.

That's because Apple products are overpriced st.

That actually a things with new apple phones happened to me twice now... leave it plugged in for 15 minutes be patient and leave it charged to 100%

[Wish]

Sadly it’s been on charge for most of the day.
I’ve tried pressing the volume up and down, then holding the side bar. Nothing is working. Even tried plugging it in to the Mac


I have loads of Apple stuff and never had a problem with any of it, poor lad has had two dead ones in a row.

Socket not turned on?

Power cut?

[bad company]

Very frustrating but it sounds like the op has tried everything. I’ve never heard of such a problem with Apple products.

Don’t go to bluewater, I’m pretty sure the stores closed for refurbishment.

Its a crazy world where a phone is 1200 quid, well at least you can sing along as an emoji..

People obviously pay it though. Madness.

DoA happen, I've had them from virtually every tech brand you can name.
Bad luck you've had them twice from the same manufacturer, that's not what matters, just how well and how fast they resolve it.

Going to take it in to stormfront Canterbury tomorrow. The are quite helpful. I will tell them it cane from apple uk if they can’t fire it up I will buy one from them and send this one back for a refund.

if i was paying over a grand i wouldn't find it acceptable considering the mark up Apple make, I mean QA should have checked it. OP do yourself a favor break away from the Cult of Apple and get yourself a cheaper better phone.

That won’t be an issue. There’s plenty on here saying Apple products are poo but their just wrong.

Apple will exchange the iPhone, no problem.

Bad luck. I love my 7 Plus and can’t imagine having anything other than an iPhone.
