OK, you can’t really drive your iPhone with a broken screen through the Apple store, but you can take it in for a screen replacement. Apple has begun replacing broken screens on iPhones right there in the store. The screen replacements under warranty are free, of course, but those without that precious warranty will pony up $199.
I’m not sure how often iPhone owners are cracking their screens, but they’re covered now by the local Geniuses in the store. Are there a lot of people dropping their iPhones? Just looking at the photo on the right hurts.
