But that was probably 4-5 years ago, so it's possible they've gotten a little friendlier if you've purchased the AppleCare.
AppleCare has gotten better and worse in equal measure. Gone are the days where a cracked screen resulted in a no-questions-asked new phone. Apparently that privilege was abused one too many times. Now what it does (in addition to standard support) is allow you to have the phone fixed for cheaper. It gives you two instances of accidental damage repair for $80. Not really a superb deal, but a reasonable one.
