Apple might exchange my iPhone 4 with a "like new" phone.
What the heck is a “like new” phone?
My iPhone 4 is defective, and it’s just 32 days old.
I was told that, if a replacement is indicated, that it’ll be replaced with a “like new” phone.
What exactly is a “like new” phone? How exactly does it differ from a brand-new iPhone that I purchased 32 days ago?
Hi all,
I've had three phones now all of which are stated as brand new but there is speculation that
refurb units have a different serial number starting with 5k or 9k - a friend of mine has >this on his replacement after he smashed his screen.
I'm interested that the refurb units have serial # starting 5K or 9K.
Mine is exchanged iPhone 3GS, and its serial # (you can see it in Settings>General>Information>Serial Number) is starting with 5K!!!
Now, I have three questions...:
* do you know how the BRAND NEW iPhone 4's serial # starts?
(I heard Brand New 3GS's serial starts with 88 but I'm not sure...)
* when you exchange your fault iPhone in the Apple Store, can you ask "Hey, I want a brand new one not the rehurb one. Can I check the serial #?"
* the serial number appears in the software screen (Setting menu), and it appears in the black box that contains brand new iPhone that you buy. But how about the brown box that contains the iPhone you get the exchanged one? Can you see / check the serial # too?
I want someone to let me know so kindly.
Thank you!

Apple doesn't do exchanges. Sell your 4S & use the proceeds to purchase an iPhone 5.

No. Apple no longer makes the iPhone 5. It has been replaced by the iPhone 5c.

If the device has not been opened by anyone (other than Apple) then it can be replaced via the Out of Warranty replacement program, $269US for the 5, 5C, and 5S?
If it has been opened by anyone other than Apple, purchase a new device. -
HT2731 Does using the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPod touch use my phones data plan?
Does using the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPod touch use my phones data plan?
If you are using the internet then it's eating away at your data plan, irrespective of your Apple ID.
Here's an article about data plans:

Using iphone 5 with att prepaid go phone plan will it work?
will i be able to use the iphone 5 with the att go phone prepaid plan?
And the OP was specifically asking about an iPhone 5.
What's unclear is if AT&T is including their HSPA+ network as "4G" It is technically 4G according to th ITU and they market it that way.
They do specify that pre-paid data is for feature phones only. Not smartphones of any type. From the same document:
Data Services for Smartphones
To use data services, smartphone users must be on a monthly rate plan and purchase a data feature package. Data Pay Per Use is not available with smartphones on any GoPhone rate plan.
It may be possible, but if they catch you, and they eventually will, they will shut charge you for it and/or shut down the account. -
hey apple users. if i deactivate my iphone because i got a new phone, can someome else put thier sin card in my old iphone and then it will work again? or does the phone stop working all together if i deactivate the phone on the support page?
Do this first:

Then whoever gets the phone just sets things up again using their Apple ID. -
Can you change a black iPhone 5 case into the white iPhone 5 without buying a new phone?
Can you change a black iPhone 5 case into the white iPhone 5 without buying a new phone?
Apple does not have an exchange program.
By the time you purchase the required materials to change the case from black to white and the expense to do so, you would be better off selling the black iPhone and use the proceeds to purchase a white one. -

First go to your Gmail account and change the Apple ID with a made-up email address that doesn't exist.
Then go to your Verizon account and change the Apple ID to your Gmail address. It should work fine now. -
I purchased an audiobook from iTunes On my iPhone. I got a new phone and after the back up, the books I downloaded were not there. iTunes wants me to repurchase the books I downloaded. Is there a way for me to Redon load my already purchased books?
Hi..
On your new iPhone tap Settings > Store.
Make sure Books is turned ON.
You shouldn't need to re purchase the book > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
I just got a new phone today the iphone 5c and i plugged it into itunes. i wanted to get all of my data from my iphone 4s but when i synced my phone all of my iphone 3 data was on my new phone how do i get my iphone 4 data on my new phone?
Did you choose the wrong back up? There should be a drop box when you go to "Restore from Back up" in iTunes and your iPhone is plugged in, on the Summary page. Choose the correct back up. If you can't find one, and you still have your device, back up your iPhone 4 again and then choose that back up. Or check for an old iCloud back up if you have one.
