> iPhones are truly works of art and should be enjoyed without cheap plastic cases. Just make sure you have AppleCare Plus.

I agree they are beautiful to behold. Nevertheless, if I want art, I'll go and buy actual art. My iphone is, foremost, a tool. If I have to wait an hour for it to be fixed, it's failed its purpose.

I don't know how it is where you live, but I had to wait the next day for an appointment, and they held onto the phone for something like four hours. They also didn't honor the appointment hour, so I had to wait in line for 30 minutes.

I love my iphone otherwise, but this was just horrendous. I've lost half a day waiting around to fix the phone. This was for a battery replacement, not a broken screen, but the process is likely similar.
