Guy who got a 2.8 million won repair bill for his iPhone Duo (Bobaedream, opens in a new window)

This post is about an iPhone Duo whose free repair was refused over a scratch on the corner, and the owner was asked to pay a 2.8 million won repair bill. Many on Bobaedream (opens in a new window) and Ruliweb (opens in a new window) complained that Apple refuses free repairs over scratches or whether the box was opened. On Etoland (opens in a new window), some mocked Apple for hunting for scratches to block free repairs, while others said it can't be helped even if it's unfair. On Ppomppu (opens in a new window), opinions were split over refusing free repairs and whose responsibility it is as the consumer. On Humoruniv (opens in a new window), people said Apple's official criteria don't match what unauthorized service centers do, and some called it the behavior of a shady company.
