Can apple replace an iphone 4s if its been stolen?

"yes they do"
No they do not.
If your tv is stolen, Sony gives you another?  No.
If you car is stolen, Ford gives you another?  no.
If anything is stolen, the manufacturer gives you another?  no.
"which technically means apple have my stolen phone!"
How does that statement make any sense in your head?

  • Can apple replace a Iphone if it has been stolen?

    I am on contract with Orange who have refused to replace my Iphone 4S; stolen yesterday.
    I had it for a week and a half, I know this isnt apples problem but i really really want my iphone replaced; i am even happy if they replace it with a 4 not a 4S?
    Can they or would they do this for me?
    Thanks

    No it was stolen off of me on a bus, i have got the police involved and was mis lead into getting insurance from Orange but they dont have a replacement plan for the Iphone at the minute.
    Would home/house insurance cover this?

  • 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.

    Certainly. But you have to pay. It's called an "out of warranty replacement".

  • HT4061 Can Apple replace my iPhone 5 charger

    Can Apple store replace my iPhone 5 charger stopped working..this one is not the one i got with the iPhone..is another Apple iPhone 5 charger i got forma walmart..will the y replace it.

    Hi Marvito,
    If the charger that came with your iPhone is defective, and it is within the warranty period, they would replace it. They will not replace a charger that you purchased from WalMart. Why not ask WalMart to replace it?

  • Can Apple Replace my iPhone 4

    Hi,
    iOS 5 has ruined my iPhone reception wise. I've done it all to try fix it. If I make a genius appointment, would they be able to replace my iPhone with the iOS 4.x.x? It's still in warrenty, I want to use my iPhone!
    My 3GS I gave to my sister has iOS5 and it works perfect. I want my iPhone back.

    They will not restore the iPhone with an earlier firmware version.
    If your iPhone remains under warranty and a problem is discovered when a hardware diagnostic test is run on your iPhone at the Apple store, your iPhone will be exchanged under warranty.

  • Can Apple replace my IPhone 5c charger slot? Please answer ASAP!!

    I accidentally went swimming with my phone in my pocket last night; it was in the water for probably thirty minutes. When I got home I realized what had occurred and put it in a bag of rice overnight. Today I tried to charge it and I also realized there was a piece of rice stuck deep inside my charger slot. I have now gotten it out but I am afraid in the process I destroyed the pins in the charger hole. I'm not 100% this is the case, though. I will have to give it a couple hours to see if one: the water destroyed it internally, I mean after all it was in there a while, and two: if I destroyed the pins in the charger slot. I'm very anxious, someone please answer soon. Thanks for the help.

    If you didn't leave it in the rice for at least a week the phone is dead, and not just the charger slot.

  • HT1766 how do you replace your iPhone because it had been stolen

    Unless you have an insurance plan that provides coverage for theft or loss, you will need to purchase a new phone.

  • Can apple replace my ipod touch for free if its stops working

    can apple replace my ipod touch for free if its stops working, because i havn't had it even for one year yet.

    As long as it's under warranty (The warranty is 1 year unless you have AppleCare) they will replace it for free if the iPod had an issue that was not caused by you.
    Apple will replace an iPod that is still under warranty if it has a manufacturing defect. That's not the same thing.

  • 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.

  • 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.
