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 I return my iphone and get a brand new one right after?

We aren't going to give you a pat on the back and say "good job". It's your time. I couldn't care less to be honest.

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:

Otherwise, you will need to tell us what it is you wish to accomplish.

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.

I just got iphone 5c and i am not happy with it. It uses to much data and i don't even know how. I can't get the ringtones i want for my contacts.I got it on my free upgrade but i want to take it back and get something else but where i got it they say i can't because i don't have the earbuds and i have serches or them. now i am suck with a phone i don't like at all until my next upgrade. this is very dishearten

1. If you are this unhappy with that phone, and the lost earbuds is the only thing stopping you from taking it back, why do not just buy some earbuds. That way you can get rid of that phone. It all depend upon how much you want to get rid of that phone.
2. Yet if you are stuck with that iPhone, here is something might help you to control the data usage. By design, iPhones do turn off WiFi when they go dormant. So if a download is in progress and so forth when the phone goes dormant, it will switch to use cellular data, if this setting is left on. Therefore, from multi-sources I have learned that if you keep your iPhone connected to a power source, then it will stay connected to the available WiFi.

Hi! I have an iPhone 4S with iOS 6.1.3 and I have iTunes 11.1.3.8. on my Windows 8. Now I can't sync my iPhone, because the device is not recognised by iTunes. Somebody have any idea why, or what can I do (except refresh the iPhone software) ?

You need to be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer to sync the iPhone 5; this may require buying a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store. OS upgrades aren't covered by the warranty.

I have problem with my iphone 4s my battery is not keeping charge. how can I get help with this one. it is less than a year that I purchased this cell.

I have problem with my iphone 4s my battery is not keeping charge. how can I get help with this one? it is less than a year that I purchased this cell.

I would like to know the answer to that one. I realized this was happening just after upgradeing my iOS to 6. Then when I looked up my purchase date, I was about 5 days past my one year warranty. So I'm dead in the water. Apple will replace the battery, but it will be about $80+. I took it to the Apple store, and they checked a bunch of stuff, but said that it seemed ok. I'm debating getting a battery for a more reasonable price off of ebay. But if it's the iOS thats draining the battery, then I'm not going to be able to help it. I wish I knew a better way to tell if its the battery, the phone, or the iOS.

Hi. My husband and I have always shared the same iTunes account. Since installing iCloud, all our contacts and calenders have merged on our iPhone 4, which we do not want. How do I rectify this? Does my husband need to set up his own apple ID?

Hi. My husband and I have always shared the same iTunes account. Since installing iCloud, all our contacts and calenders have merged on our iPhone 4, which we do not want. How do I rectify this? Does my husband need to set up his own apple ID? If so, where do I need to change his email address info, so that his calender and contacts remain his? Thank you

You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours. If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for). You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.

HT4972 My ipad 1 has never been updated and can't run many apps which makes it of not much use, how do I update it ? A simple step by step idiot proof guide would be best ! Can anyone help please ?

You can only update the iPad to iOS 5.1.1and you cannot go any higher. If you never updated that high, you can do so by using iTunes on your computer. You will have to connect the iPad to your computer with the cable and launch iTunes
You can read more here. Make sure that you read the section about using iTunes. The article starts off with using the Settings on the iPad for WiFi updates. That only works with the iPad 2 and higher that is already running iOS 5.

When selecting a song to play on iPhone the correct song does not play. How do I fix.

When selecting a song to play on iPhone the correct song does not play. How do I fix?

There are users reporting the process being stuck and it might have to do with apple turning on match to other countries today.
Have you tried turning match off and letting it remove all none downloaded songs and then turning match back on to see if it fixes it?
Sometimes turn match off and then back on fixes some things, but not always.
Especially if it is working on your other devices, it has to be with the one your trying to get the song downloaded onto.

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.
