Does Apple's warranty cover dead pixels on the iPhone 4S?

I received my iPhone 4S in the mail today and a few hours after I had been using it I noticed a tiny dot on the screen. At first I ignored it, thinking it would go away, but it hasn't. I searched what the problem was and found out it is a dead pixel. Like I said it's very small but it really bothers me every time I watch a video or take a picture. If I take it to my local apple store, will the warranty cover this?

The warranty should cover it if it is a defect in manufacture.  In any case, you are covered by the 30 day trial return period.

  • Does my iPhone warranty cover dead pixels?

    I have an iPhone 4s and my warranty expires on October 23rd 2012. I have one dead pixel on my LCD screen and I was wondering will my warranty cover a dead pixel? Can I send it in for a screen repair?

    Take it to a service center and see what they say.  It sounds like they would take care of it since I don't see how they could pass it off as abuse of the phone, but only Apple can say (we're just other users like you).  They won't actually repair it but completely replace it with a refurbished unit, so make sure you have everything backed up.
    Also read what some of the topics about "dead pixel" on the right under "More Like This" say.

    "I went in to an Apple Store and yes, they will NOT do anything about just one dead pixel. You need at least 3 or more before someone will do something about it (seems to depend on the manager/person you're talking to). This is even with AppleCare. Sad. "

  • Does Apple iPad warranty cover cosmetic damages?

    I have the iPad smart cover on my iPad 3 and after some time I've noticed a few scratches on the side of my iPad. Only a cosmetic thing, but wondering if apple one year warranty covers cosmetic damages. It was their faulty cover and error in creating a protective cover. So, again, will the warranty over it?

    I'd take it into an Apple Store and ask, but I doubt the one-year warranty will cover minor stuff like cosmetic damages. I imagine it only covers problems like the iPad just suddenly dying on you for no reason. It might depend just how bad the damages are, too.
    HOWEVER, if you really really don't like the cosmetic damages you can get AppleCare (I think it's around $99 for iPads) and they'll replace it for you rather than having to pony up $500+ for another iPad.

  • Does apple care warranty cover mighty mouse?

    hi.
    as many has experienced, i experienced problems with scrolling up and/or down w the mighty mouse. i tried to clean it with a few methods, and the one that worked was when i used a clean piece of paper, turned the mouse upside down, and rubbed it forwards and backwards several times.
    unfortunately, it now seems that i might have solved the scrolling problem (but its slowly not scrolling as well already!). but i cant activate the 3rd button anymore. i press down on the ball and instead of activating the 3rd button, it right clicks or left clicks instead.
    i also notice the ball is not as smooth as before. there is some fraying on the surface of the ball.
    my intel imac has apple protection care plan till june 2009. can the mighty mouse be replaced?

    Actually in 2 months my Mighty Mouse will be 3 years old.

  • HT3302 Does the extended apple care cover water damage to the iphone?

    Does the extended apple care cover water damage to the iphone?

    If you have AppleCare+, Apple will replace the iPhone for the "deductable", which in the US is $49. If you have the standard AppleCare plan, then accidental damage is not covered and you will have to pay Apple's out-of-warranty price for replacement. See:

    My Mac was hit by the floods from Hurricane Sandy, Would the Apple Care warranty cover for fixing it?

    You can try your homeowner's insurance company; unfortunately, the hardware warranty was most likely voided. You can read it here:

    If you are referring to the extended Applecare Protection Plan:

  • I have one dead pixel in the middle of the screen.

    I have 3 issues with my iPad2 at the moment
    1. Bad back-light bleeding around edges. It is kind of big bleed on the right edge and small ones on the left.
    2. One dead pixel in the middle of the screen.
    3. Lots Horizontal lines occured everytime when press sleep button on and off quickly.
    What can I do, this is the replaced one that comes in brown box. On of the genius guy say that horizonta lines is normal when LCD screen boots up and as long as it does not effect while you are playing then it should be fine. But my friend dont have this issue so i think it is kind of faulty of the device.
    Can I go to genius bar and ask for another replacement?

    I went to apple store today and this time one of the staff said they will not replace for dead pixels or screen bleeding. And for the horizontal line issue.. The guy at genius bar said it's normal when LCD screen wakes up from sleep or when it boots up. It's kinda weird I think.

  • Dead pixels on the 24"?

    is it me or is anyone else detecting a trend with dead pixels on the imac 24" models? there seem to be a few other posts here about it. i unfortunately had to ship mine back to apple last week because it had around 5 dead pixels (black) clustered together on the right middle area of the lcd. i ordered a custom config (upgraded to geforce 7600) through the apple store online. i had the wind taken out of my sails when i first booted up and realized that they were dead.

    Just in case there is confusion over this matter, a dead pixel and a stuck pixel are two different states. A dead pixel is not repairable. It indicates that the transistor at that pixel position is inoperative. A stuck pixel indicates the pixel is fixed at a particular "on" state and can sometimes be forced to another state through the various techniques others have already mentioned here and in other threads. A dead pixel appears to be a pinpoint of white light (I have one on my new 24") and can only be repaired with a display replacement. Since there is always the possibility of damaging an LCD display when forcefully rubbing, I wanted to make sure folks understood the difference. If the pixel is dead, no need for attempting repair.

  • Does apple produce new back-case, battery, screen or IPhone parts?

    Does apple produce housing, back-case, battery, screen or IPhone parts? i'm not asking for screen protector and back cover for iphone protector.

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit
    You can do a Google Search for third-party vendors that sell such components.
