I used my iPhone 13 fully charged in the morning, and when the battery dropped to around 50%, I tried charging it again but received a “liquid error” warning. Thinking it might be the charger, I tried a different one but got the same error, and by the evening, the phone completely shut down. On 24/06/2025, I sent the device via Yurtiçi Kargo to Konya Gürgençler, an Apple authorized service. When I called the service, they first said they performed a system update and then asked me to disable the “Find My” feature, assuring me that the repair would begin afterward. About 8–10 days later, they told me the phone had a part failure and returned it still not working. After being asked to replace the part, I shipped it back on 18/07/2025. Each time I followed up, I was told the phone was “still in cargo.” On 24/07/2025, a Gürgençler form confirmed the device showed a liquid error, would not power on, and was received with its original box under receipt number S0000012932. On 01/08/2025, they sent it back saying it needed to be reset, which I did, and I shipped it again on 04/08/2025. Every time I called, I was told they were busy and would get to it, but I was constantly delayed. Nine days after I sent it, I was told the repair had finally started, and on 18/08/2025, they said it was forwarded to Apple’s authorized service. As of today, I have been without my phone for 58 days in total. I also had to pay shipping fees three times, and despite the device being under warranty, I was blamed for “user error” and left without support. I even called the Apple support line (00800448829873) and spoke with Senior Representative Mr. T***, who promised a call back, but they mistakenly tried to call the defective phone in service instead of the alternative number I provided, later sending me an @iCloud message saying “we couldn’t reach your phone.” In another call with Mr. B***, I was told I could file a complaint, but no real solution was given. If I had been informed of all requirements at the start, I wouldn’t have gone through this ordeal. Gürgençler’s ongoing stalling tactics have only worsened my situation. I demand either a replacement device or a refund. My phone has now been unavailable for 70 days.
