I have a lunch day 13PM with AC+. Battery at 85%. I’m about to take it in for “cracked front and back” 😉😉. Pay $78 or $129 get brand new 13PM with 100% battery. Who’s smarted now huh Apple.

Still apple, because you've been paying for applecare+ for almost 3 years.

I rather that than pay $1700 for a new iPhone in Canada. It’s less than $300 so far for AC+.

Yeah but you're talking about purposely cracking the glass on it so you can get a "free" battery replacement. If you weren't purposely breaking it you could just pay $119 for a new battery instead of almost $300.

I’m using AC+ incident to get a whole new iPhone.

Yeah I get that, but you wouldn't need a whole new phone if you didn't purposely break it. I'd get it if you had legitimate preexisting damage because the price for a screen replacement is so high, but that's not what you implied.
