iMac has a bug, literally

This happened to me, (weirdly enough, in Brisbane) but with an ant. It was years after purchase and not there from manufacture; bugs can sometimes make their way inside, in front of the display but behind the glass.
Apple fixed it for free, out of warranty, without AppleCare.

Sometimes it pays to be nice and ask. I would rather have Apple do that kind of work, than put trust in some kid at Best Buy or some other retailer.
They will, if OP takes it to court.
But until OP asked about it on a DISCUSSION forum. So therefore it will be discussed by forum members.
The person you are responding to was merely talking about asking Apple nicely if they could help remove the bug. That is a lot more logical than being ugly and threatening to sue in court.
Ask the bug to go to the other side of the screen to help reduce the tilt.
No idea what you're trying to say here, but I see that you are new. Welcome to MacRumors. Hope you are finding your way around.
Apple isn't perfect but, I think that overall, they do an excellent job with customer service. I can understand your frustration and anger given your situation but, that experience isn't the same for everyone. I hope Apple makes it right for you if need be.
lol You have earned 3 points for witty retort.
. Good job. Save up your points and you can redeem them for free tech support on MR. Void where prohibited. Restrictions apply. Not valid in all states or on days ending in Y.
You are of course completely incorrect.
I've always had good customer service experiences with Apple too. You can certainly speak to your own experiences, but not for everyone else.
Not the first time I have been told that. I have a track record of being imperfect and I am fine with that. I do my best. That is what counts.
That's actually not a bad idea. Maybe turn off the iMac and then see if you can guide the bug to offscreen using a flashlight, or wafting in a fresh fruit scent so he goes for the bait.
Better than sitting here and moaning about how your now useless iMac (
I cracked up when the OP posted that) has ruined your life and you want to go full Karen on Apple. I’m glad you cracked up. Made my night.That's actually not a bad idea.

Could you put a vacuum to the ports and hope to suck the bug out? There has to be an access point for it to get inside there.
Might be easier when it dies - it won’t last long without a food source in there.

In fairness, I meant suspiciously irrelevant but chose a more diplomatic phrasing.
No need to be contentious. We replied to try and be of help to the OP. You entered the thread and have been arguing just to argue. That is not productive.
It's trapped. You gotta smash that screen or it'll die. C'mon man.
