This weekly photo challenge is “Broken”. The problem with this is trying to decide which “broken” photo I will share. As a camper “broken” is a term we have become very familiar with. We have had broken jacks, broken tires, broken cranks, broken furnaces, you name it, we have broke it. There is one broken story that takes the cake.

My daughter is notoriously bad with her cell phone and on this particular camping trip she stood up to get the marshmallows only to watch her cell phone go flying from her lap right into the fire. The quick thinker that she is, she quickly realized she needed some evidence of the phone in order to use her Apple Care. Reaching for the fire poker she was able to dig out what was left of her phone.

This is what an iPhone looks like after a few minutes in a camp fire

When we took it back to Apple they were impressed not only with the story but that she was quick enough to save part of the phone, (this was not her first rodeo). Fortunately she purchased Apple Care and for the cost of her deductible her broken phone was exchanged for a new model and she was off and running.
