Can Apple replace a stolen iPhone?

Can Apple replace a stolen iPhone? I had mine stolen and the phone is turned off, and we have suspended the number. Does Apple have any way to replace the phone?

Well, Apple "can" do whatever it pleases, but the likelihood that it will replace a stolen phone is about the same as Porsche replacing a stolen car. If you're holding your breath, be sure there is someone who knows CPR nearby.

  • Can apple replace my stolen iphone? i bought apple care but not insurance from cspire.

    its just not fair. apple should at least make sure its stolen. apple care should cover theft. now i know the reason they wont replace apple products, because someone could easily say their iphone got stolen and didnt even have a phone in the firt place. Thats understandable but cant they check my records? ANYTHING! Check with my provider. Cspire knows my phone has been stolen for over a month. IT`s Gone. please! i dont want any other phone ! my account is still active. its suspended but not shut down. please ! is there anything i can do BESIDES find my iphone . that app is useless at times like this!

    It's a good idea to check the terms of your insurance first. Some companies will raise your rates as soon as you make any kind of claim, no matter how small, and the deductible may be so high that making a claim is not worthwhile.
    Sorry for the loss of your phone. It's a huge pain, I know.

  • Can apple track a stolen iphone 5

      i just lost my iphone today and find my iphone says my phone is offline. does that mean that my iphone is off?

    I am sure that when compelled by the legal system that they can track them.
    As a matter of policy, Apple does not track iphones for individuals, nor do they do so without request from law enforcement.
    From Apple:
    "Apple does not have a process to track or flag lost or stolen product,"

  • Can apple track a stolen iphone

    can my stolen iphone be traced

    True, Apple can't-but with the IMEI theoretically the police could - however in reality they won't as it too much bother unless the theft is related to something serious.

  • Can Apple Replace a stolen ipod touch....??

    I recently lost my 32 Gb Ipod touch with engraving on the back and it was stolen. I have no idea how to get it back, I have made multiple phone calls and don't know where else to turn. So if the ipod was bought on the apple store website, engraved and registered, what can Apple do for me???
    If anyone has any advice please do share!
    I do have another ipod that I could trade in but I don't want to spend the money again, I am trying to make that the last resort!
    Thanks!

    First you and your insurance company have to figure out whether the iPod is covered and under which conditions. Then there is the question of the deductible (if any). I think that you will find that it will probably not be favorable to go through the insurance. As far as raising rates... not sure what criteria home insurance companies use to increase/decrease rates these days.

  • Can Apple block my stolen iPhone 5 from downloading apps from itunes store if i provide them with the necessary infos like serial no., IMEI/MEID no.?

    and all other information regarding the device like hardware no. etc
    The phone's serial no. goes up in itunes whenever it is connected right?
    Seriously, this much technology, hoping apple can block it from accessing their itunes database if ever it pops up somewhere.

    You are assuming that no one ever sells an iPhone. The registration with your serial number has nothing to do with purchases or use. Which also applies to your block.
    There is now a carrier database of IMEI's in the US so whoever ends up with it will probably not be able to use it as a phone in the US. And if they restore it the phone will not activate and will become unusable.

  • I have an iphone 5 that i trade with a family member they have coverage on it. now the iphones sleep wake button doesnt work sometimes can apple replace my iphone even if i dont have the box or recipit to the product or can they just repair it?

    i have an iphone 5 that i traded with from a family member. its has coverage but now the sleep/wake button doesnt work sometimes. can apple replace my iphone and give me a new one or is it just something they can repair? i dont have the box or recipit to apple care or the iphone

    Apple can fix it without your receipt or box. They pull the serial number from the device and determine warranty status from that.  Hopefully ApplCare was registered to the product before you lost the receipt though.  If not, you can go back to the point of purchase and obtain your AppleCare receipt and Apple can help attach it to the iPhone.

  • Ive purchased a black coloured iphone 5s but i dont like the colour, can apple replace my current phone with a white one?j

    Ive purchased a black coloured iphone 5s but i dont like the colour, can apple replace my current phone with a white one?j

    If you purchased your iPhone from Apple within the last 14 days then you can return it to switch it for another color if you wish.
    If you purchased it through your carrier, then you will need to look at their returns policy, but I expect it would be similar.

  • I have an iphone 4 and it's not working, if i pay can apple replace it with the same model even though it's no longer for sale?

    I have an iphone 4 and it's not working, if i pay can apple replace it with the same model even though it's no longer for sale?

    If the iPhone has not been opened or serviced by other than Apple
    or authoriized service provider (there are a few other requirements),
    you should be eligible for out of warranty replacemement for $149 US.
    Apple maintains sufficient stock for replacements even for iPhones that
    are no longer available for purchase. You may be better off upgrading to
    a newer version than paying $149 to stay with the iPhone 4.
    What is no longer working? If you provide more details as to the problem
    and what troubleshooting steps you have taken, some one may offer
    a solution.

  • My insurance company replaced my stolen iphone 4s with a brand new one,will the apple store allow me to exchange it for a iphone 5 and pay the difference in price ?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own.

    You would need to ask that directly to Apple. Apple is not here nor does Apple answer questions here.
    To return an iOS product requires a valid receipt. You have 30 days to return an iPhone. The iPhone must have all original packaging & accessories and be in new condition. Apple may charge a restocking fee on a returned iPhone.
    If the iPhone was bought from a 3rd party, their regulations for returns would apply.

  • What can Apple do if my Iphone 5s has dust in its camera? The camera is very bad and can't take any good pictures. Can Apple do anything or give me a replacement phone if I go to the Store?

    You can make a Genius Bar appointment to have the device looked at. If the device is still under warranty and they identify a problem, then Apple makes the final decision as to a replacement. If the device is out of warranty and they identify a problem, you would be offered the opportunity to purchase an out of warranty replacement at a discounted price.
