Default Apple Genius Bar?

Got an appointment at the Genius Bar this weekend with my broken iPhone 4, it's not worked since last Tuesday the 22nd, I know it's dead as a Dodo, so what, if anything, can the people at the Genius Bar do for me, any suggestions?!

Replace it free of charge...

They plug it into their computer and it reads what its doing and not doing, if its dead they replace it

Yup, they'll probably just give you a new one.

After I explained the things i had tried to make it connect to my wireless, including ringing apple support, they replaced my appletv on the spot. Plugged in new one and worked straight away.

What is the "Genius Bar" anyway?! Sounds a bit offputting to me, whatever it is.

It's the service area in the Apple shops.

Unfortunately, there isn't an Apple store in SA - so god knows what I'll do on the next occasion my iPhone breaks.

I'm sure you can post it off to the nearest centre, after calling them over the phone??

I don't have any experience with Apple, but everything I've heard says that they've got very good support, and turnaround times are supposed to be quick too.

It's just a load of blokes who know a bit about electronics and nothing about personal hygenie or social interaction.

Finally packed up and joined Steve Jobs' cult in Silicon Valley did he?

They'll all be living in a commune and promiscuously plugging their USB cables into every port that will fit.
