Does my phone qualify for out of warranty replacement?

Hi all,
I have just dropped a dumbbell on my iphone 3GS, (dohhh!), the screen has cracked at the top but shattered down the bottom. The phone is still on and charges however i cant use touch screen at the bottom where it has shattered, there allso tiny bits of loose glass at this part.
The phone is out of warranty but would I qualify for the out of warranty replacement? I would jsut go to Apple and ask but its not very close!
Thanks

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 5 and 5C. 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.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
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

  • IPhone 3GS out of warranty replacement

    I'm italian so sorry for my english. I have an iPhone 3GS: it has some scratches and it doesn't work very good since it dropped from the tabel some months ago. Ah, it's obviously out of warranty. My question is: if I pay the maximum price for out-of-warranty replacement (161€/200$) can I have a new or refurbished iPhone? Maybe hoping in a new model one (I think that there are not any 3GS anymore)?

    Hello,
         The cheapest and most efficient method would be to do a battery replacement. To do so bring your iPhone to a local Genius Bar and they will replace the whole device for 79$ US. If they do not have the device in stock, thay will ship one to you and your 3GS will need to be returned to Apple. Alternatively you can contact Apple Care and order a battery replacement phone for 79$ + shipping. It will be replaced with a 3GS as they are still in production for AT&T new. The Genius Bar option is the best though as you are guaranteed a new phone if they have it in stock!
    Sincerely,
    Michael

  • Out of Warranty replacement for phone fixed elsewhere

    Hi guys!
    I dropped my phone and smashed the screen. The phone was out of warranty when I did it. I had it fixed by a local repair shop and it was working fine.
    I'm now having problems elsewhere in the phone (which may or may not be related to the repair)
    Can anyone tell me whether I could get an out of warranty replacement with Apple? I'm happy to pay the out of warranty replacement cost.
    Thanks!

  • My iPhone is water damaged, can I still qualify for the out-of-warranty replacement eventhough I bought it in Mexico?

    My iPhone 4s was water damaged, and I want to know if I can have an out-of-warranty replacement if I take it to a US apple store eventhough I bought it in Mexico.

    I don't think so, but doesn't hurt to try.

  • I have my iphone activated and working since 3days, i purchased it from ebay with 1year warranty, when i check the serial number from Apple store at Bangalore Forum mall, they say that it does not show anything and 'OUT OF WARRANTY'.

    I have my iphone4 activated and working since 3days, i purchased it from ebay with 1year warranty, when i check the serial number from Apple store at Bangalore Forum mall, they say that it does not show anything and 'OUT OF WARRANTY'.
    Now i have a problem in it, all icons just shake and system hangs, needs restarting.

    You need to go back to the person you bought it from. Sounds like they may have sold you phone that is not as described.
    Did you check the warranty status before purchasing it?

  • How does out of warranty replacement work (uk)

    I dropped my phone in water and it is now non functional, I don't have the £600 to get a new one from o2 so I was wondering how the o2, I was wondering how the out of warranty replacement scheme works or what apple will do if they cannot fix your phone ?

    You bring the device to an Apple store & they take your old phone plus the fee for a replacement & give you a new/refurbished phone in exchange.

  • Out of warranty replacement... how does it work ?

    I have another post regarding my broken IPhone 3GS (I figured this is a new question so required a new thread).
    I need to get an 'out of warranty' replacement but have a few questions:
    When doing a replacement is the 'replacement' a referb ?
    Is it possible to pay extra and get another version of the IPhone 4/4s/5 ? Or is it a 'like for like' swap ?
    Thanks in advance

    Yes.

    Not as a replacement for an out of warranty replacement.

  • Did Apple increase the Out of Warranty Replacement cost for iPhone 5 from $229 to $269?

    Did Apple increase the Out of Warranty Replacement cost for iPhone 5 from $229 to $269?
    I would have expected this cost to decrease not increase with the announcement of the new iPhones yesterday.

    I think they must have increased it recently because I was told $269 to replace my iPhone 5 on 9/13/13.  I don't know how iPhone 5 replacements are going to work out now that they won't be carrying them anymore.
