So the other day, Saturday to be exact, I broke my beautiful black iPod Nano. How? Well I guess I just have good luck. I threw my Nano in my pocket as usual and went to hop in the car. As I was getting into the car though, I managed to get the screen of my iPod stuck between my leg and the steering wheel … and … crack. And just like that, my Nano had a screen that did not show any information. Needless to say, I was not happy. Not at all.
Naturally, I found myself at the Apple Store looking for a Nano replacement. I knew my screen could not be fixed, but the lady wanted to ask, so she inquired to see if the screen could be fixed. As expected, she was informed that the screen could not be fixed easily or cheaply. What I did not expect however, was to find out that I could get a 10% discount on a new iPod if I gave them my broken one. According to the Apple guy, with Apple’s Replacement Program, you can get a 10% discount on new iPods by giving them your old iPod. That is a good deal, and I am a fan.
So what is the moral (or point) of this post? To let you know that if you have an old iPod lying around, or if you are due for an upgrade, make sure you get your 10% discount when purchasing an new one. Me? I walked out of the store with a new silver Nano and transparent hard case in my coat pocket and a lot less money in my bank account. Grrr.
