First - Ive needed a new battery for my iPad since the beginning of the shutdown. Apple stores are back open so I went to get an appointment. Next Saturday. Apple isnt replacing batteries, they are replacing the whole iPad.
Second - horrible day yesterday. Car wouldnt start at a gas station. Me, wife, child, & dog. 4 hours waiting for a fix/tow. Ill spare you the details other than Liberty Mutual sucks. They are clearly outselling their capacity. You get what you pay for.
Third (related) - riding to the garage with the tow truck guy. Insurance companies had everyone working at home so they totaled everything. Smashed headlight? Totaled. Hit a deer? Totaled. They didnt want their people out in the field. Should be a lot of scratch and dent cars available soon Id think.

(7,540 posts)People complain about that, but it's quicker and easier to replace an entire device under Apple Care than to troubleshoot whether any problem is just the battery and bother with differently configured/sized/powered battery replacement parts.
