Battery replacement in different country

Hi All,
I found that if your phone is in a different country from where you bought it, Apple will NOT provide you with the battery replacement. So I need to travel from India to UK, just to get the replacement. This when, Apple provided me with a defective phone.
Is there any alternative.
Any pointers will be very helpful.
Thanks,
Money

Can my Ipad 3 have a battery replacement outside the country?

My Ipad 3 has a battery weared. It turns off when the battery drops to 80%. I plan go to Apple Store to have a battery replacement. But i purchased my Ipad in US and now I am in France. Is it possible to have this kind of replacement?
P/S: My Ipad is out of warranty 1 month ago

The fact that you bought it in the U.S. should not make any difference at all. I'm not so sure that they can replace your battery in an Apple Store, typically you have to send the device to Apple in order to have the battery replaced. You are supposed to contact them via the link here.

Same model replacement in different country ?

I have an iPhone 5 model a1429 which was bought in USA. I am now in Switzerland and have bought apple protection plan locally. Since it's the same model that they sell here would the repair the broke home button or replace my product ?

No. You must physically return the phone to the US for ALL warranty/support issues. You will not get that phone serviced in Europe.
BTW: They are NOT the same model iPhones, even though the model numbers are the same. Your US model is a CDMA iPhone. That model is NOT sold in Europe.

Change Battery living in a different country

Hi,Actually I discovered that I have to change my Iphone 5 battery, the issue is that i bought it in another country (Colombia), different that I live actually (Brasil). Does the program cover a International change? Or I have to return to my country in order to make the battery change? Thanks

The battery service is not international however as the iPhone came from Colombia and as long as it was from an Authorised Apple iPhone reseller or carrier
there it is worth checking with Apple in Brazil to see if they might assist you
Do not be offended if they refuse
You cannot send it to ANY country Apple do not accept cross border shipments nor do they ship out cross border

My iPhone 5 is eligable for battery replacement but there is no Apple Stores in my country. Any advices what should I do?

Hello, I live in Montenegro and I bought used iPhone 5 off ebay few months ago. Phone is sim free but I notice really poor battery life. I have to charge it twice a day! Before 5 I used iPhone 4 and I had to charge every night but I could use the phone all day and I was fine with that. I checked and my iPhone is eligable for battery replacement program but there are no Apple Stores in Montenegro. There is T-Mobile which sells iPhones but I didn't buy mine over there. Is there a way for me to take advantage of this program? Can I get Apple to send me new battery and I will have local repair shops (which are very good) to replace the battery? I am ready to take full responsibility for that. If that is not an option could I visit apple store in US (example) and change my battery there for free, given that it is not bought over there?

This is how you get Service in your Country
The iPhone support site has troubleshooting articles to help you solve your iPhone issue on your own. If you have reviewed those articles and still need service for your iPhone, you can contact your carrier.Note: There may be a fee for diagnostic service. Please do not send any accessories with your iPhone because they will not be returned to you.
However the iPhone could have come from anywhere in the world since you purchased secondhand from eBay
You are correct T-Mobile will not touch the iPhone .
If you check the model number in settings>>>general>>>about >>>Model
if you google that number you will find out where the iPhone originated .If an EU country then you would be eligible for assistance in any other EU country
if not then which ever country comes up is the only source of help
This version of the link above is a European version maybe more relevant

HT1807 I travelled to a different country & using a new sim; with the change in sim, I have been unable to use iMessage & FaceTime. Cant replace replace the earlier no with the current one and it reads error. how to correct this?

I traveled to a different country and using a new sim/new carrier. With the change in the sim, I have been unable to use the iMessage--outside of WiFi coverage area, and FaceTime at all time. I believe it is due to the phone number registered as an address in the phone, which has not changed with the change of sim; so it countinues to showing as an error while varifying the data.
Wonder if any of you are in a position to advise as to how to address the following.
1. I need to input correct phone no, meaning the number I am using in the correct location.
2. I need to activate FaceTime and be able to use it.
3. I need to be able to use iMessage and/or ordinary sms while outside of WiFi coverage area.
It may be mentioned in my current location I don't have GPRS on the cell phone which is the case in my regular station.
Thanks for your help.

Apple's battery replacement = different ipod?

Got a question about ipod battery replacement on Apple Care. Recently purchased two ipod classics, just before they were discontinued. The battery of one of them appears to be underperforming. I also have some older ipods that may need out-of-warranty battery replacement soon.
All my ipods are meticulous without a scratch.
Reading Apple’s article on ipod battery replacement, I am wondering. They call it battery replacement program but say 'No, you'll receive a replacement iPod that will not contain any of your data and songs.’
In other words: they give you another ipod - but there is no word whether it is a new one or somebody else’s. This sounds rather odd. What I try to avoid is getting a scratched up reconditioned replacement.
What do you get in the end?

In other words, their battery replacement program is really an ipod replacement program. So it is impossible to open up the ipod without damage. The program can then simply be used to get rid of your scratched up ipod.
Very strange indeed.
As to the battery of the classic purchased in Sept 2014: I am playing the same album on repeat at half volume. After 24h, there may be 15% battery left. Apple claims 40 hours and ilounge tested 58 hours.

Can I get a different color iPod touch, when I get my battery replacement (within warranty) for a refurbished iPod touch 5g?

So I know that If you get your battery replacement (within warranty) an apple store will give you a refurbished model of your old iPod, but what if I want to change the color from the one I have now (white) to a new color (black) is that allowed? Or do I have to get the same exact model as my previous one? Also does the same principle apply in China as it does in the US, or not?

Not likely. All you can do is ask.

IPod mini battery replacement

I am in the midst of testing my iPod mini for the battery replacement program. My question is if I qualify for the program, will I be sent a new iPod mini, or the current equivalent, an iPod nano?
Any help at all will be appreciatied!

The information on this page says that your replacement will be functionally equivalent to the original, which suggests that you will be sent another iPod mini. You might get sent one of a different color, and if your original iPod mini is gold, you will definitely get another color.

Question Regarding Apple's Battery Replacement

Hello:
I have a 3G iPod which is in need of a battery replacement. I am debating two options - sending it to Apple (approx. $65) or sending it to iPodResQ ($54 & "overnight" service).
The upsides of iPodResQ are the cost, the turnaround time, and the battery is an 850mAh (longer playtime).
The only reason I would prefer the Apple one is if they issue a new or refurbished unit in place of mine 3G. My iPod is fairly scratched up at this point in time, and it would be great to receive a cosmetically new iPod. If they just crack the current case open and put another 450mAh battery in there, the Apple replacment doesn't make any sense.
Does anyone know what Apple's policy is here? I called Apple three times now (technical support) and received a different answer each time.
Any personal experiences would be great to hear of.
Thanks,
Chris

Yeah, I agree of what you said, but it does not quarantine that you get the refurbished iPod, but occasionally we do in some countries.

12" battery replacment program--battery never arrived

Does anyone know how I can contact apple's battery replacement program to let them know my replacement battery never arrived? I am overseas and cannot use the 800 contact numbers.
Thank you

Go to the main Apple site, and use the drop down menu at the bottom of the page to change the country to the one you are currently residing in. Then click "Contact Us" and you should find a number to call.
Out of curiosity, how long did you wait? It took mine forever to reach me-maybe a month and a half.

Won't charge after ipod battery replacement

Hi,
I hope you can help me.
Battery replacements for iPod generation 1 (5 GB) and iPod Photo generation 4(?) (60 GB) did not work:
I bought replacement batteries from OWC (MacSales.com). Below is the invoice data from OWC for theses batteries. Since the swapping didn't work the first time, they sent me new batteries for free, but to no avail.
NWTBIPOD1350MPH
Apple iPod Photo 1350mAh High-Cap Battery
S/N: 5818602, replacement for S/N: 5554860
NWTBIPOD2200M12
Apple iPod 1G/2G 2200mAh High-Cap Battery
S/N: 3761061, replacement for S/N: 3761112
Neither the iPod Photo nor the iPod 1G would work after installing new batteries. The batteries were replaced by OWC, but even a new install with the new replacement batteries did not work. Both iPods worked fine after each installment with the batteries as long as there were some power left in the new batteries. As I recall, that would be about 2 hours. After the first complete charge of the batteries, the iPods seemed to work as expected, but after the second charge they both appeared completely dead. The charging was done with the chargers that came with the iPods. This is very odd, and it is hard to tell what the problem may be. I find it strange that this happens to both the 1. and 4. generation of iPods, as they are quite different, and so are the batteries, and the same thing happened after trying to swap batteries twice on both units.
Do you have any ideas as to what it may be that causes this?
If you know how I can get the iPods to work with the new batteries I would appreciate it. It is no option to buy new iPods. Economy doesn't permit it for the moment.
Best regards from
Guttorm Kittelsen
PS. The iPod 1 (5Gb) was bought at Office Line Mac & Carry (now Humac) in Oslo
        The iPod Photo 4 G (60Gb) was bought at the Apple store. (not the App Store)

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem due to the hotness. If iTunes can't see the iPod then uor only hope if to contact a data recovery company for getting data off the iPod. If you have an iPod backup you can restore another iPod, iPhone or iPad from the backup to get the data that was in the backup
