Turns out my iPhone was yanking my chain and doesn't actually like golden showers. Oh what???? Eeew! Disgusting. It also turns out dropping ones smart phone in the can isn't as uncommon as one would think. Tiny bathroom stall + clumsy Kate = an opportunity to write an apple store review.
I made an appointment to get my phone swapped out, using the appointment service on the apple store website. Simple enough, you just put your details in pick a time that's available and turn up at said time. Their store has moved to a different spot in Market Mall and they have been in their new location for a few months now. The new space is larger, really open with tables throughout the interior and product on the walls. I went in, checked in with a blue shirted dude near the genius bar and then sat down to wait as I was about 5 minutes early for my appointment. I only waited a few minutes, thank goodness as I had no smart phone to distract me with anyways. wah woh.
A "genius" or whatever they're called came up, introduced himself and asked me what the problem was. I explained "water damage", and he got to it. He popped out the SIM card took a look and saw that it was okay - thankfully! He told me the price options and I went ahead with a replacement phone. The whole ordeal was over and done with in under 7 minutes. WHAT!??? yep. that easy.
Easy peasy.
