iPhone 4 is about to be killed......

My iphone 4 had issues with the home button sticking and not responding. Apple should replace it free of charge since it's their issue.

My appointment with the apple store is at 11:10 CST tomorrow. I'm hoping that it will be replaced. That is the issue I'm having. However, I'm torn whether or not I want to just go ahead and upgrade my phone to an iPhone 5.

Another issue to my dilemma is if I use that $200 I would spend on a new phone to spend on a new hatchling rack (which I want). What I might do is if they replace the phone, go head and get my new rack then after I have a little extra saved from work, go back and buy me the iPhone 5. We'll see after I get through with my appointment tomorrow.

Okay...after the ordeal today...I'm considering switching to android. Here goes my rant (I'll try to be nice but I'm super pissed right now).

So I went to the apple store this morning a little before my appointment. There was no one there (Crazy for being a weekend day) and so I got to talk with someone about 15 min before my scheduled appointment. The guys there were really kind and told me that the only thing they could do to fix my home button is to basically dust it out. As for my lock button, it was sunk in and needed to be completely replaced. So, I went ahead and opted to get the iPhone 5 and just start fresh. In total, I paid about $500 - phone (32gb instead of the 16gb), 2 year extended warranty, car charger, screen protector, and Otterbox.

I get home and I'm trying to fiddle around with the phone to get used to it and I notice that the apps that should have been restored on this new phone aren't loading. Some of them loaded fine, but others are stuck like this:

(well...I tried to take a screenshot picture with the new phone and that doesn't even work)

Now to add to my frustration, my phone isn't connecting to my 4g LTE coverage (mostly just LTE coverage on my phone. Since I don't know which is what it should be on, that just adds to my frustration), and my pictures haven't transferred all the way along with my apps. It's like it's frozen.

Anyway. I tried to connect to my home wireless and it keeps telling me that it can't connect to the network. So, I try to restart the phone, sync the phone with my computer (which...it won't complete a sync...issue #ihavenoidea), etc. So I call up Apple support and talk to a nice young woman and her supervisor for about 45 min doing all sorts of things. She doesn't know how to fix the app or picture issue, so we focused our time on the wireless issue. I did a multitude of things and nothing worked. She called in her supervisor who was also out of ideas. So She scheduled me an appointment to go BACK to the Apple store tomorrow to see if a specialist can fix it. She thinks its a hardware issue with regards to the wireless issue. The others she doesn't even know where to start.

All in all, I'm one very pissed off customer. My broken 3yr old iPhone 4 works better than this brand new, out of the box iPhone 5. If they can't fix this issue and make me a happy customer, I'm going to demand a complete refund and go android.
