Exchanging iPhone to different color

Hi, I just bought an iPhone 3G a few days ago (16 GB) and wish I had gotten the white one. I was torn between the two colors and was kind of rushed by the salesperson. I definitely want the iPhone, I just want to go back and exchange it for a different color (the white one). Is it possible to exchange it or do I have to return in (do I get a full refund?) and buy a new one? Is there a charge (I don't mind paying)of exchanging and if so, what amount can I expect?

In a word, no.
Contact information is designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer.
With Vista, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with Windows or Vista Contacts - whatever the name is with Vista, which is the Address Book used by Windows Mail - the name change for Outlook Express with Vista.
Favorites and notes are included with your iPhone's backup, which is created and maintained by iTunes.
Sync your existing iPhone with iTunes before heading to the store for the exchange. When returning with your exchange, you will be prompted to restore your new iPhone from your previous iPhone's backup when connecting your exchange to iTunes. This must be followed by a sync with the supported application on your computer to transfer your contact information to your iPhone.

Can I swap out defected iPhone with different color one

In november my friend purchased me a black iphone 5. It was awesome with No problems. Recently however, I have been experiencing a very short battery life. After a day of light usage sometimes my battery will dip below 5 percent. Now, I already tried disableing bluetooth, turning off data and wifi when not being used, and even turned down the brightness to half way. Because the iphone is certainly defected, when I exchange the iphone is there a possibility to swap it out with one of a different color, as the black one devolops scratches along the champhered edge like crazy, also ios 7 looks wayyyyyy better with the white iphone, it just blends into the device itself. Anyways, thanks for any responses

No. Apple will replace your iPhone only with an indentical model. If you want your iPhone to be a different color, consider a skin; those are available in a multitude of colors and patterns.
And just FYI, there are many causes of short battery life other than a hardware defect. Apps such as the Facebook app can use a lot of battery. While you may indeed have a failing battery, you may want to try restoring your iPhone to factory settings and running with just the Apple apps for a while and then evaluate your battery life before concluding that there's a hardware problem.
Regards.

Can I exchange the iPhone 5s for a different color?

My sister told me she bought me an iPhone 5s white/silver and verizon is having it shipped to me but the shipping info states it's the gold one. Is there a way to exchange/replace the phone for the silver/white colored one at no extra charge? It also already shipped around 2 hours ago.

If the phone you're getting isn't the phone that you want...and you want to try to avoid a restocking fee...just refuse the delivery. Don't accept it and try to go the store to have it done...especially if VZW got it right and you're just wanting a different color out of preference. Be advised that refusing the accept delivery of the phone will cause it to go back to VZW which you have to factor in time to ship it back, time for the warehouse to receive it, and time for it to be credited back to your sister. All of this can be a long and tedious process. Also be advised that if you do try this approach that calling, complaining, and ranting about the slow return process will not yield you any faster results. No VZW rep online, in a store, on the phone, or via chat will be able to do anything to speed up the return process...it'll happen when it happens. So...with that being said, is having a different color really worth it to you? Armed with the knowledge you've gained here about the process, at least you can now make an informed decision. Besides, most people cover the back of their device with some fancy or cute cover to protect their device so the back color is rarely seen. Best of luck to you...

IPhone 5s Exchange For Different Color After Use

I got a iPhone 5s yesterday and have been using it, nothing is wrong with it, but I'd like to get a different color. Can I still exchange it for another color if i restore it and put everything back in the box?

You can ask the store from which you purchased what their return policy is

My brother dropped my iphone 6 on tile and its cracked and the screen is white with different colored lines down it. What do you suggest I do???

Cracked iPhone 6 screen and screen is all white with different colors going down it. What do I do???

Take it in for repair or exchange. Be prepared to write a pretty big check unless you bought AppleCare+.
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

WHAT DO THE DIFFERENT COLORS CIRCLES MEAN WHEN YOU LOCATE YOUR IPHONE?

I was just wondering what do the different color circles mean when I've located my iphone. So far I've seen a green dot with a green bigger outlined circle around it , a gray circle , a gray circle with a gray bigger outline around it , a real big green circle like the whole circle is dark green. I'm mainly just wondering can you tell if they are texting or using the phone at the time or if its on off or on vibrate is that what those different colors mean?
Thanks alot ,

Screen repair service pricing
Repair and replacement costs depend on your iPhone model and your AppleCare product coverage. Apple will run a diagnostic test to determine whether your iPhone has experienced additional damage. If it has, or if it needs other repairs, you may need to pay an out-of-warranty service fee. Accidental damage isn't covered under the Apple One Year Limited Warranty.
Out-of-warranty repair service
If your repair isn’t covered by Apple’s One Year Limited Warranty, AppleCare+, or AppleCare Protection Plan, your iPhone might be eligible for out-of-warranty service. For example, liquid damage isn’t covered by warranty but might be eligible for out-of-warranty service. Some damage isn’t eligible at all, for example if your device has been broken into multiple pieces. See Apple’s Repair Terms and Conditions for complete details.

I get a 3914 error when I try and restore my iphone 4. my screen goes white and then all different colors. what should I do?

i get a 3914 error when i try and restore my iphone 4. my screen goes white and all different colors what should i do

first try a different usb cable, remove all other usb devices, and try a different port in back on desktops if possible. if no luck see these
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

If i want to get a new or replacement iphone, do i have to get the same model or can i get a different model? Also when replacing can you get it in a different color?

Hi, i want to buy a replacement iphone because my button doesnt work. I was wonderin if i could buy another model or if i had to get the same one. And if i cant do that, could i at least get the same model but in a different color? Thanks

You will get a service replacement of the same model, same color. You can ask nicely if you want to change colors but normally they will not do so.

Can I exchange my Asus transformer pad for a different color?

I recently (less than a week ago) bought an ASUS transfomer pad, which I LOVE! But, I saw that they are made in three colors although only one was available when I bought mine. Is it possible for you to order me a different color and then I could just exchange the one I have now. It's not a huge deal, but it would be nice. Thanks in advance.
Matt
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If we sell it and have some available at our regional warehouse, we should be able to order it in to the store for you or to ship to your home. Check with a Blue Shirt at your local Best Buy to see where we might have one in the right color floating around.
