I worked the Genius Bar for 3 years and only left a couple of years ago.
I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt, in the UK at least, that there is no lying going on. We don’t care about upselling you anything. If we can repair your phone or replace the battery we will.
The reason we decline for say water damage or unauthorised repair is because they want to guarantee the repairs with a warranty and that is hard to do when it has been water damaged or someone else has been in and maybe fucked something up.
Plenty of shit Apple do wrong but the service here is top notch compared to any other manufacturer.

I don’t understand how this can ever be argued when apple’s record against consumer’s right to repair is like a dictator’s record against their own people.
Is this a case of “Yeah, he killed millions of citizens, that’s true. But he really developed infrastructure”?

I was more referring to service from the staff rather than policies. The staff are not out to fuck you over. We always were honest with customers.
In the UK. Makes sense
