yep, that's how it is once your return window closes.

Warranty applies if the product is defective. I didn’t choose to return the iPad, it had dead pixels. Apple replaced it with a brand new unit.

Just got back swapping my defective iPad for a new one. They gave me a brand new retail unit, no refurb for me
Congratulations! Thank goodness they gave you a new one, was going to say I would also lose it if they gave me a refurb, not sure how a situation like this would have gone down here in South Africa, but I would have made a big noise about it.

I had a 2021 Alienware m17 r3 laptop with a faulty logic board. The thing was only 3 days old and they wanted to repair it with refurb parts.
£2300 3 days old and refurbished parts for repair?

I just gave it them back and told them to refund Me. Bought the m1 MBP instead. Got hold of a PS5 and saved a load of cash

You should rub it in at some point, let them see how sh*tty their CS is.
