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.

    Hi
    I have a new powerbook and want to give my girlfriend my old G4 power book, she has a new iphone 5s, and wants to create a new itunes/apple id. When i try to de authorize the G4 and sign in with her new apple ID it says bad password, how can i release the G4 from my cluster of authorized apples and make her the owner so she can download music and more importantly sync her music with her phone, she only has 3 songs on her iphone, and loaded all her CD's into the g4 but cant sync, im no dummy and this shouldnt be hard, but its driving me crazy!!!!!!
    thx u so much for your time heeeellppppp.

    Perhaps, as we have the same music tastes, for now i should just authorize her phone to my power book just to sync music, not pics, contacts etc? I'd hate to overright her contacts etc lol????

  • Where can I buy a NEW iPhone WITHOUT a service plan?

    I have an iTouch now, I'm sell it.
    I want to have external speakers for apps and alarms.
    I do not want iTouch 2nd generation.
    I do not currently need it as a phone, but would like to have it for when I am ready.
    Is it possible to purchase the latest iPhone without any phone plan? When I go through the steps to purchase an iPhone from apple.com it doesn't have a "no plan" option.
    Do other places online / B&M sell iPhones or only apple.com and apple stores? (I do not want a used or refurbished)
    Surely I can still get a hold of an NEW iPhone without a service plan... but where and for how much?

    You can't buy a new iPhone in the US without a plan. Even if you could buy one, it would not work (even as an iPod) until activated with a cell phone provider. You would have to buy a used iPhone that had been activated. Be sure to get a US model (or one for your country if you aren't in the US). Check the part numbers in the right column of
    <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937>
    to make sure it is the correct version for your country.
    An officially unlocked one from one of the countries that sell them would also be OK, but any repair would have to be done in its original country. It would have to have been activated in some country, also.

  • Can I use my new iphone 5 with the old iHome iD9SVC Speaker System if I get an apadter? or should i just buy new speaker system made specifically for the iphone5

    can I use my new iphone 5 with my old iHome iD9SVC speaker system if I get an adapter? or should i just buy a new speaker system made specifically for the iphone 5?

    Look iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is a backup listed for your iPhone 5 dated BEFORE you restored your iPhone 4 backup to your iPhone 5? If not, your data is gone. If there is a backup, on your iPhone 5: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You should now be able to restore that backup, if it exists, to your iPhone 5.

  • HT3226 My iphone 4s fell down on the floor and a very very small bit on the edge of my iphone were broken. Can I insert a new iphone body panel with replace the old one

    My iphone 4s fell down on the floor and a very very small bit on the edge of my iphone were broken. Can I insert a new iphone body panel with replace the old one.. ???

    I think I had it on the iCloud, I just changed computers and had part of my old computer backed up, where are the default iTunes info saved like the pictures and I know my contacts were backed up cuz I kept getting updated stuff that I wasn't sure about, but it was contacts where some belonged to my wife's contacts....but anyway, if the cloud backed up contacts, it should have grabbed pictures too? Like I asked before, if they were backed up to the computer, is there a default iTunes folder they are saved to? I had a crap load of pictures on there that I usually could really access if I was connected to wi-fi. I turned off my data stuff as I only have 4GB and between me and my 2 kids, we seemed to use up a lot of it. My son would play music from Pandora during work, and use up all our data til I limited him to only 3GB, my daughter and I barely used 1GB. Anyway, thanks to everybody that is answering. I thought I might have done good finding the dang sim card, but pointless I guess.
    Ralph - F.Y.I. I would be happy to back up the iPhone if I could turn it on LOL......I am pretty positive I did, but what about Text messages? ANY of those saved too or not? Sorry guys, I don't know a **** of a lot about cell phones, but I do know about memory cards, but not sim cards that act like memory cards or look like them anyway. What is the purpose of a sim card if I may ask a stupid question since they don't hold any data from my phone stuff. I just hope my stuff comes back on the new replacement phone once I get it up and running. Again, thanks to everybody for the edumucation.

  • I bought an iphone 4. I have a MacBook Core Duo running 10.4. My husband has a Core Duo 2 running 10.5.8. Is there a way to move my ical and address book info. to his computer so I can sync with my new iphone?

    I bought an iphone 4. I have a MacBook Core Duo running 10.4. My husband has a Core Duo 2 running 10.5.8. Is there a way to move my ical and address book info. to his computer so I can sync with my new iphone without upgrading software.

    Hello hbell,
    is there any reason that you do not want
    to upgrade to v10.5.? Suggest you call
    1-800-275-2273 Apple Support. Automated call
    yet if you call back you can get in touch with an
    Apple Software Specialist. They may be able to ship
    you Leopard so that you can synch your new iPhone
    to you own computer. Have the serial numbers of your
    Mac and iPhone written down and ready for them.
    As far as transferring data to your husbands MacBook
    so that you can sync your iPhone on it I am really not
    sure. Seems like a lot of trouble to get your data onto
    your iPhone.
    Good Luck,
    A

  • Can't connect my new iPhone 4 with internet via Time Capsule. IP4 recognized TC but will not connect with it. (Password etc. is ok)

    Can't connect my new iPhone 4 with internet via Time Capsule. IP4 recognized TC but will not connect with it. (Password etc. is ok)

    Do the usual wireless things.
    Change the wireless name to simple name with only alphanumerics and no spaces.
    Set to manual and use channels 1, 6, 11 in turn.
    For testing take off the security altogether.
    The iphone only works on 2.4ghz so only that band is relevant.

  • Can i buy the new iphone 5c and just use like a ipod since i do not want to activate it yet?

    Can i buy the new iphone 5c and just use it as a ipod since i do not wish to activate it yet?

    The phone needs to be activated first with a sim in it.  It doesn't need to be an active sim.  Read this
    USING AN IPHONE AS AN IPOD
    Restore your phone as new.  Place a SIM card into the phone and connect it your computer with iTunes open and follow the activation assistant to activate the iphone.  Once the iphone have been activated remove the SIM card and turn on imessage in settings/messages.  Only your Apple ID should appear in the “You can be reached by imessage at” and “Start new conversation from” fields.  Read the following article for help http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3406
