Apple Gave Me a New Phone

For the past four weeks or so my iPhone 3G hasn’t been picking up any wifi networks; not at home, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble’s or anyplace. The people at Apple Care had me restore and totally erase everything out of my phone and it still didn’t work. They then set an appointment up for me with the Genius Bar at one of the only two Apple stores in Southeast Michigan.

The Genius Bar is literally a bar with stool chairs you sit at while the Apple person tries to get to the bottom of your issue. The store was very busy for today to be a holiday, but I guess that’s probably due to the fact that there are only two stores here. Well, they switched my phone out and I can now connect to wifi, but they said I wasn’t allowed to take pictures of the place or the guy who helped me for my blog. What a wack policy. Here’s a pic of what the store looked like from the outside though (not the actual location).

There seemed to be a lot going on, all at once, in the store and the different kinds of people that were staffed had very diverse styles, which I found fascinating. If I could’ve taken pics I would’ve shown you the dunks one of the employees was wearing in navy and neon yellow. They were pretty nice.
