Nice find!  I experienced a bit of a hard sell, though, when I went in and found that my iPhone cable wasn't working. After we established that, the "genius" asked at least three times, "Do you want to buy a new one now?"  Since they wanted $20 for it, I declined -- 3 times -- and left.  I should have looked up the price on the Internet while talking to them. (Anywhere from $3 to $7.) But I didn't think of it at the moment.

One week (over two visits), I managed to get free replacements for a power adapter and headphones, both well out of warranty and worth $79 each.

That's nice for you. It doesn't make me feel any better about Apple, though. It makes me feel worse.
