Screen protector - did its job!
She gave the phones to the genius and he proceeded to peel off the glass screen protectors to reveal perfectly in tacked phone screens. Needless to say she was a bit embarrassed.
That's sort of funny but easy to forget they were installed at some point.
Too bad the genius guy didn't have a bit more magicians and/or theatrical aptitude as he could have put on quite a dramatic "fix" performance. ;D

With the new 2018 "X" iPhones, if you drop one and the back glass cracks, the entire iPhone case will need to be replaced. It's not only the screen which is made of glass, it's also the back case
Replacing the entire case of the new phones can be expensive which is why you really need Apple Care Plus. By the way, the new Apple Care Prices will make your hair stand on end.
AppleCare+ for iPhone extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPhone and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a service fee of $39 for screen damage, or $129 for any other damage, plus applicable tax.
But since the back on the iPhone X and the new 2018 X iPhones are glass, dropping them with case on or no case can shatter the glass.

After all, it will cost you $279 to replace the XS screen and $329 for the XS Max (without AppleCare+ coverage). But maybe this means you can be a little more confident with them out and about.

What the heck is that service fee all about?
