Cracked iPhone 5 screen. Options?

Just bring it to the store, apple will give you a brand new phone for $200 in exchange for your iphone. Might be better options out there as far as cost, but if you want a brand new one it's the way to go. I did this after giving mine a nice dip in the washer machine.

I had the gs3 for 6 days and went back to the iPhone. Not a fan

No, not at all. I'm honestly puzzled how anyone could think that Android OS in general and the Galaxy S3 in particular would be superior. Except for Android/Galaxy fanboys and Apple haters, of course. Their lack of objectivity is obvious.

Are you one of those?

This. I dropped my i5 about two weeks ago getting out of my truck. Destroyed my phone. I took it to Apple the next day and purchased a new one and they allowed me to add AppleCare +. It didn't cover that incident though, so I had to buy the replacement phone. Ended up spending about $280 for the replacement and AppleCare +. Was pretty bummed I had to drop the money but I was happy I had my phone back with little to no hassle.

Apple owns hardware wise, but android is definitely the more versatile OS. I've owned both, so I consider myself pretty objective. At the end of the day people need to get what they like and stop getting butthurt when people like something else.

OP, pretty sure you'd have to bring the phone in for inspection when adding AppleCare+. I'd take it in to see what they say though.

apple can exchange my phone for a new phone for $220, not too bad (guy told me on phone)

Or go through verizon's 3rd party insurance, it's $159....i kinda got lucky....

Posting this on a Macbook Air. I have an iPad right next to me.

My phone will always run Android. iOS isn't bad, but the flexibility of my phone is superior in every way. It's just a way more open system, and if you like tinkering, it's fantastic.

I think iOS makes a better tablet OS. I haven't used Windows 8, though.
