Can I Return My iPhone 3G to Rebuy at a Future Date?

I made a mistake in buying my iPhone 3G so soon and I can not afford it. I have activated it already, I would like to return it to the Apple Store I bought it from but I would like to rebuy the iPhone 3G in about a month when I will be getting some extra cash. Would my best option to be sell it on eBay (not doing it to profit just straight $300 for the 16 GB) or can I return it to Apple but maintain my contract and number (and maybe reactivate my original old iPhone) for a future iphone 3G purchase?

i don't know about the Apple Store, but AT&T gives 30 days to return/exchange with a 10% restocking fee for Apple products.

  • Can I return my iPhone 5 also without Garantie?

    Can I return my iPhone 5 also without Garantie?

    You need to give us more information about what you're asking. You can't "return" an iPhone at all unless it's within the dealer's return period.
    If your iPhone is defective or damaged and you are asking if you can take or send your iPhone to Apple for service, then yes, you can, though you will have to pay for such service. The only exception is if the problem is with the sleep/wake button in which case Apple has instituted a service extension program. See:
    https://ssl.apple.com/support/iphone5-sleepwakebutton/
    Otherwise, you will need to tell us what it is you wish to accomplish.

    Can I return my iphone back if I had an approved service apple?

    I'm sorry, but I don't think I understand. How does he know that two screws are missing inside? He should have this taken care of where it was purchased. He cannot have the device repaired or replaced in the US.

  • Can I return my iPhone 6 and go back to my 5?

    Hi folks,
    I mail-ordered an iPhone 6 because my current phone's a 5, and I've been doing the every-other-generation dance since my first iPhone, a 3G. For the very first time, though, I think I regret my upgrade. I'm probably going to allow a few days to get used to this new, big phone, but I feel doubtful.
    My question, then: is there a way I can say "Ha ha oops never mind", switch my US AT&T service back to my 5, and return the 6? My best guess based on experience is that Apple would take the phone back in 30 days (at least they do that with Mac purchases), and AT&T would be happy to fine me $150 for early-termination on my old phone and sign me up for a new two-year commitment on my old one, again. Which would be kind of awful.
    Is there a better way, or do I just have to see this as an expensive life lesson?
    Motivation: I find the 6 very uncomfortable to hold and use one-handed, and I have no desire for a larger screen if the tradeoff is that I am obliged use this device two-handed now. I feel quite frustrated every time I need to tap any screen's "Back" button, now physically out of my thumb's reach way up there at the top of the screen. Double-tapping the home button to push the top controls within reach feels like an ugly hack, and reminds me every time I do it that this phone is larger than I'd like it to be. Perhaps most worrying of all, I find myself unable to keep my wrist straight while holding this bigger, heavier phone, and I can feel my nascent RSI tingling while I'm trying to read a book on it. Add all these up and you have the very first time I'm using a new iPhone and am not just not in love with it, but really alarmed and half-panicking that this essential life-tool doesn't even feel like it fits with my body any more.
    So yeah. Pretty sure I wanna go back to the light, wonderful 5. Any advice would be appreciated.

    In the exact same boat here. Life-long iPhone user. Got a 6 on Tuesday and absolutely hate it to the point where I dread using it. Upgraded from an iPhone 4 I'd had for 4+ years. After making several phone calls, my understanding is that Apple will take it back no problem, within 14 days. My iPhone 4 was out of contract with AT&T but when I bought the 6, I renewed my previous contract for 2 years. My AT&T contract also has a 14 days, cancel for any reason with no early termination fee, clause. I assume your AT&T contract would have the same. But I don't think you need to worry about canceling your contract. Since you still have your iPhone 5, you should be able to bring it to the AT&T store, have them switch the existing contract from the 6 to your old 5 and then you can go return the 6 to the Apple store where you bought it. That's no different than being halfway through a two year contract, your phone is stolen and you have to buy a new one at retail price to replace it on your existing contract. You're essentially just bringing your own device you already paid for (the 5) to the existing AT&T plan.
    I would just caution that assuming you want to keep your phone number, get the service put back on your 5 at AT&T and have them deactivate the 6 before you go return the 6. Or just make sure the Apple store is capable of transferring the service from the 6 back to the 5 while you're there to do the 6 return.

  • Can I return my iphone 5 if I am not happy at how easily it scratches?

    I have only had my iphone 5 for a couple of weeks and I have already noticed scuffs and ***** out of the side and back. I protect my phone with a cover but (And I kid you not) if the little grains of dirt that still somehow get underneath, are scratching the back. This combined with the fact that most apps and movies do not make use of the full siz of the phone, has made me very unhappy. I REALLY want to return my iphone, even if its just to have it replaced. Is this possible? Surely under the warranty I am within my rights to expect a certain level of quality!?

    You have several things going on here. If you bought the iPhone from Apple here is a link to Apple's return policy in the US, I have no idea where you are so this policy may be different if your not in the US. http://store.apple.com/us/help/returns_refund
    If you bought the iPhone from an authorized dealer check their return policy to see if it applies to your couple of weeks of ownership in order to see if it qualifies.
    The warranty applies to manufacture defects, it is not insurance. Read here for more information about the iPhone warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/iphone.pdf
    Lastly, most apps haven't been update to fit the bigger screen on the iPhone 5. This will take some time, at least the apps still work. Hope that helps.

  • Can you arrange to send an e-mail at a future date

    I want to send an e-mail at a date in the future when I may not have access to the internet. So I want to have the message ready and put a future date for it to be sent.
    Is this possible and if so how would I do it.

    If you won't be able to access the internet, how do you intend to send your email?
    The solutions offered for use within Thunderbird can queue and schedule messages, but all with the basic pre-requisite that at the intended time of sending, Thunderbird will be up and running and connected to the 'net.
    You need to hand your problem over to a 3rd party mailing service who will do it for you.

  • Can you return an iPhone 6plus with used headphones and charger?

    I received my iPhone 6 Plus 9 days ago and feel that it's too big for my liking. I'd like to return or exchange it or and iPhone 6. I've used the charger (of course) and the headphones. Will I still be able to return the phone?

    Shouldn't be a problem as long as you haven't damaged anything - namely water getting into the handset for example as I believe this invalidates any return you might want to make, the same way it invalidates your warranty on the handset itself.
    So if everything is still in good condition, and within your returns period I don't see why they would have a problem.

  • How can I since my iPhone 5s to my iMac without losing data?

    My iPhone has been sync'd previous to my notebook, which is unfortunately currently broken.
    I'd like to sync it to my iMac, however, it appears if I do so, I will lose my data.
    Is there a way I can do this successfully without losing any data?

    You can't. Sort of.
    No. Not really. But kind of. See below.

    Question: I have a computer at home and one at work. Can I update my iPod music collection from more than one computer?
    Answer: Yes. When you first connect iPod to your computer, iPod recognizes that computer as its "home" computer. Each time you connect, iPod automatically downloads the music library stored on it. When you connect iPod to a different computer, iTunes will inform you that iPod is linked to a different iTunes library and will ask whether you wish to erase iPod's contents and sync with the new computer's library. If you will be connecting to multiple computers frequently, configure your iPod to manually manage music. This will allow you to selectively drag songs, albums, or playlists from the second computer to your iPod without compromising the existing music.
    Synchronization generally occurs only in one direction, from your computer to your iPod. This means you typically cannot transfer music, automatically or manually, from your iPod to a computer, and you cannot use iPod to copy a music library from one computer to another. An exception to this is the transfer purchases feature which allows you to restore purchased iTunes content to your computer from your iPod. Additionally, if you legally are allowed to copy music or other media files, you can configure your iPod as a storage drive to move media files.

  • New PC: how can I sync my Iphone with a new PC without loosing data?

    I have an old Windows Vista PC with Itunes.
    I want to sync my iPhone4 with a new Windows 8 PC.
    I only sync music and video with the iphone and itunes, NOT email adress contacts, etc (I do not want to mix and mingle all my contacts on PC and phone).
    I DO want to take all the contacts to the new itunes.
    Problem: When I connect my iphone to the new Windows 8 PC with the new Itunes, I get the warning that "all the data on the iphone will be replaced with the data on the Itunes", in other words: the iphone will be empty
    Anyone any advice how to do this simple thing which is made super complex by Apple? Thanks.
    ( @ Apple: Apple engineers and Apple marketing should be ashamed that there is no simple way to do this, and there is no simple and clear information on the apple website for this !!!)

    Copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer,  to the new one.
    To what do you sync your contacts?  Icloud?  Other service?
    Problem: When I connect my iphone to the new Windows 8 PC with the new Itunes, I get the warning that "all the data on the iphone will be replaced with the data on the Itunes", in other words: the iphone will be empty
    Correct.  The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced. 
    It should be very simple.  Everything should be on your computer, or cloud service.  The itunes simply allows your information from your computer, cloud service to be protable.
    Copy everything to the new computer, then sync.

  • Where Can I Exchange My Iphone?

    This is a walmart purchase. I called to see if I could exchange it at walmart. I was told yes but they have limited quantity and I have to return this phone by monday. So my question is, if my local walmart/s don't have any iphones in stock, can I return my iphone to an apple store, or directly to apple via shipping for a straight exchange? (same color and amt. of memory).
    I can't take care of the exchange until sunday, so the walmarts locally may not have stock.
    I have had cosmetic issues with the phone very early on with a black iphone, and am going to ask if I can exchange it for a white iphone 5.
    If anyone has been able to exchange at an apple store or directly through apple's HQ, let me know. This is my first iphone purchase and it seems like store policies on returns and exchanges vary from vendor to vendor.

    Apple provides all hardware support in the US.
    Take the device to Apple if you believe a hardware issue exists.
    Exchange is for same model, color, and capacity.
    If you want a different color or capacity then you must go back to the place of purchase and return and repurchase or exchange per their policies.

  • Can I return my new iPhone?

    Hi all,
    Can I return my new iPhone 4? I have had it for a week, and just wondering if I can return the phone, and how that would work with AT&T?
    Why, you ask? I think overall the phone has sub-standard quality, at least what I had grown used to with my 3Gs. My 3Gs was a tank, and had fantastic reception, and was fast. I am a power user, use my phone all day for business, uss Apps & games everyday on wifi and 3G. My 3Gs was very reliable, and rock solid. No complaints. And I am also a decades long Apple user, having bought several MacBooks, and an iPad earlier this year.
    My complaints? The phone is slow. I live in Manhattan where there are cell towers on every block. Sending/receiving email is painfully slow and often times out, even when I am connected to a high speed home wifi signal. Calls now drop nearly every time I call someone. And again, I live in one of the best places for AT&T coverage in the US. Games are also slow, they "stutter" as if the OS is slow.
    There are yellow spots on my screen. With a case the squared body is thick, and does not lend itself to slipping in your pants pocket. And sorry, if you dont use a case and a screen protector your phone will get trashed in no time, its common sense. This phone feels fragile, as opposed to the 3Gs which was a tank. My dropped my 3Gs several times over the last two years, only breaking the screen once which was easily replaced. I feel like if I drop this phone it will crumple.
    Overall the iPhone 4 has been a low performing fragile phone. The yellow spots really top it all for me. The quality is not Apple, and this recent update wasn't revolutionary(it doesn't change the way we compute), its cosmetic & merely the old OS in a better looking body with some superficial new features.
    Again, I am a proud life long Apple owner. But this is the first time I have been very disappointed by their products.

    Like Obama says... yes you can
    I did it last week because I bought an iPhone 4 as a wedding gift but then I changed my mind and wanted an iPad, so the bride could use it together with the groom (while the phone is personal).
    I returned the iPhone to the apple store and I paid the difference to buy the 32GB iPad, no problems
    I didn't opened the case, but the guy at the apple store told me I could have returned the phone even if it was opened. It must be undamaged tough.
