Dropped iPhone - Now my screen is blurry

I dropped it from about pocket height and now everything on my screen is really blurry, everything works, but it is pretty hard to text because the letters are blurred together. Is this warrantyable? Could they fix it at an apple store? You can't tell that i dropped it. I am not trying to scam apple, i just want to know what to do, I have only had the phone for about 3 months.

Warranty usually only covers manufacture defects. I work for AT&T Mobility and can honestly say that the warranty group scrutinizes over every piece of equipment to ensure that the defective equipment does in fact fall under warranty. Apple on the other hand may have other options. You stated the phone was dropped... This is not covered under warranty.
As for checking with your home owners insurance, I personally wouldn't recommend it. From what I've been told, the insurance companies are losing money with the way the policies are written today, so I would hate to file a claim for the mere cost of an iPhone, then have my policy dropped and be forced to shop around for a new policy at a higher price then what I'm paying now. Save the claim against "home owners" for when you need it in case of an emergency

I dropped my iphone now the screen is black. would a screen repair fix that. if not what do i do i dont want to waist any of my money.

About a day ago i dropped my iphone 4. ever since then my screen has been black. i have been able to hear voice control and music but i dont know how to fix it. it was not far off the ground but to be fair it had been through a lot. i have an appointment to get a screen repair to see if it would fix it. does anybody know if it does? if not please let me know so i dont waste my money. and also if you do know how to fix it please let me know. thanks!

Try Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone begins to start. When you go for repair, ask them to just push the LCD connector back down perfect to the Logic Board, is may simply have just been jarred loose slightly. If you go to Apple, this is handled for $149 with perfect replacement iPhone 4 exactly same as yours.

Dropped iPhone has black screen which iTunes says is in recovery mode

The screen looks okay apart from...next to the ear piece hole you can just see a small white chip beneath the screen (The screen itself is not chipped) The phone appears to be off and wont turn on, or maybe it's on but is not lit up so I cant see anything??? I've tried holding the home and power buttons together and several other tips on here with no luck. I have connected the white cable to the computer, held in the home button for at least 10 seconds, and then connected the cable to the phone. It opened iTunes and I restored the phone (I assume to factory settings) The screen is still black and now it's telling me "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes" I've tried restoring it a couple more times but it just comes back with the same message and the screen is still black. If anyone has got any ideas I would appreciate it before I go to Apple.

In what way is it "not letting you?"

Dropped iPhone - now there are issues with speaker and earpiece

My iPhone 4 loudspeaker (at the bottom) isn't as loud or clear as it used to be after it was dropped into a river today, the earpiece doesn't work at all. The phone itself turns on and touch screen etc all still works though. Any ideas/help please?
The only time sound works is when it is on speakerphone - not on videos though. Even then it's not very loud or clear.

Water+energized electronics = shorted out hardware. It is almost certianly damaged beyond repair if wholly submersed like that. As tonefox says, your only real option is an out of warranty replacement, which Apple offers for a fee.

Dropped phone now my screen whites out

Help! I dropped my phone :S The screen still works when the phone is turned off and on again but when it goes to standby mode and I try to use my phone the screen is white. Any suggestions?

Even if you don't say you dropped it, don't be surprised or angry if they can tell it has been damaged accidentally and tell you it isn't covered. They are pretty good at detecting phones that have been dropped or gotten wet.

Dropped imac now the screen is jerky

Somehow my iMac fell over face first onto my desk and cracked the display. It seemed to be working fine, I ordered a new screen and replaced it very easily. But now, a few weeks later, the display is starting to get jerky and will go black. I do not know anything about hardware etc... but does this sound like a video card issue? And if so, can that be replaced by me? It's a 2011. I'd like to try to fix it myself because changing the display was so easy and only cost me 70 bucks vs the 400 or so that Apple would have charged.

You may be lucky and it is just a cable or a socketed item that is loose, you will need to take it to pieces again and check all internal connections.
Hope you get it sorted out.

Dropped iPhone-death screen

Dropped iPhone 4s. Screen is black. Phone unresponsive.no apple logo appearing. Constant Charging sound every 5 seconds or so.tried holding home and top bottom for a time, still no response. Help please

You clearly have hardware damage. Take your iPhone to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider for advice about next steps.

I dropped my iphone 4s on the floor and now my screen wont turn on. it isnt cracked or anything. also when someone rings me my ringtone plays but nothing appears on the screen

Hi. So I dropped my iPhone 4s on the floor, and now my screen won't display anything, but it still plays sounds, for example when someone rings or text me.
Please help me ASAp, and I will be grateful for any help

Try a reboot, hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, if it doesn't "appear" but does restart, does it then turn on?
If not, time to visit an Apple store genius bar and have the techs run some tests to see what is wrong.

If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step... Be sure to make an appointment first...

It's broken due to neglect, namely being dropped. Replace it.

I dropped my iphon and the screen smashed and now wont turn on, will apple fix it?

They will do an out-of-warranty replacement of the iPhone for $269 USD.

I guess your definition of "solved" is different from most...
Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and get an out of warranty replacement.

Dropped iPhone 3G - now white screen

The day after picking up my iPhone 3G, I pulled it out of my pocket and set it on a counter. It slipped and fell about 30" to the floor, now the screen is totally white with a thin, faint green line down the center. iTunes still recognizes the phone and it will sync.
I have done all the resets and restores suggested, including a new phone reset, nothing works.
AT&T says to deal with Apple, Apple says deal with AT&T. No insurance offered thru AT&T or it wouldn't be an issue.
Anyone know what I can do?

I am 400 miles from the nearest Apple store, so I guess I am outta luck there.
I called Apple about repairing it and what they told me is that for $199, they will replace it with a refurbished phone. Unfortunately, AT&T has no insurance or replacement program, so I guess I am stuck with a brick here and a two year commitment to that brick.
Anything I do on my own voids the warranty, and with all the problems that Apple has had with this phone, I would like to have some coverage.
Why doesn't Apple or AT&T offer insurance on these things. Every other phone AT&T sells has insurance coverage, but not the iPhone. If the dang thing can't survive a 30" fall then insurance is a must have.
I am starting to rant now, but this is frustrating. I have always stayed away from Apple products because they are so proprietary. Guess I should have stuck with my own advice.

I dropped my phone and now the screen is going funny.

i dropped my iphone on the ground and now the screen is going funny. by that i mean it doesn't always click on the things i want and it doesn't let me unlock my phone, what should i do?

Get it fixed. Take it to an Apple Store for them to look at.
Dropping electronics on hard surfaces does have a habit of making them go "funny" - best to avoid doing that if you can.

Iphone 5c green screen after a drop

My green (very ironic) iphone 5c's screen turned green a week after dropping it (screen was cracked)
I can now no longer use the device and I am unsure on what to do now

Visit an Apple Retail store & pay the out of warranty fee for a replacement device. Or, call apple care and arrange for an out of warranty replacement. The fee should be around $269.00 + taxes for a replacement device.
HTH
