Reminder: Your Applecare+ might run out soon - get your phone fixed before it expires

My iPhone 8 Plus has having some minor issues that I was living with, but when I remember my AppleCare+ would run out next month I called Apple and got it swapped out for a new one using the iPhone Express Replacement Service program at https://support.apple.com/iphone/repair/service/express-replacement .

You basically call them, tell them your issue and they send you a new phone.

They'll put a hold on your credit card for the full price of the replacement and send a new phone to you overnight. When you return your phone to them the charge drops off. (Unless you did something bad like sent them a iPhone 4 back, or replaced your battery with a cheap no-Apple part, or microwaved your phone, etc.)

So after using my phone for nearly a year and 11 months I have a new phone that has no issues, and a brand new battery.
