One of a few areas where Apple has a big advantage over everyone else is being able to get repairs in a trusted place... the Apple Store. I bought my Note 8 from a carrier store and have SquareTrade for extended warranty, but what about repairs. I could take it to the carrier store, but mostly likely they'd send it out. Samsung is starting a partnership with UBreakIFix to offer parts and same day repairs on Samsung devices. This is a great step.
