Getting a replacement iphone first

i have to send my iphone 4 in for a repair but this is my only phone. the man at the apple store said i could get a replacement sent to me first and i was wondering hot to do this.

Apple will not let you change the color, they do everything based off Serial numbers and modle numbers, if theres a mistake in there then it would cause a lot of issues on their side for tech support, and apple doesnt sell refurb iphones as well, your best method is to just replace the phone with apple because you also get another 90 on the hardware warranty

  • How to get the replace iphone in Malaysia or Vietnam?

    I got wifi problem with iphone 4s. After trying all methods to fix it, I totally give up and now, I want to a replace iphone. How could I get a replace iPhone in Malaysia or Vietnam?

    Warranty is valid only in country of original purchase. You will
    have to return the iPhone to that country for repair/replacement,
    meaning you will have to bring it there yourself or ship it to
    a friend or relative in that country who will bring it in and send
    back to you - all shipping and insurance costs are your
    responsibility. Apple does not accept international shipments for
    repair nor does Apple ship out of the country after repair/replacement.

  • Getting a replacement iPhone, would apple let me choose a different colour?

    I am getting a replacement iPhone soon due to it being damaged through liquid. They have told me that it would cost £130 for a replacement and I have no problems in paying that.
    At the moment i have a white 16gb iPhone 4s, but would apple allow me to choose a black iphone as a replacement instead. Just wanted to know guys..

  • Could I get another replacement iPhone 4?

    I recently got my replacement iPhone 4 about a month ago. I have about a 30 day warranty left from my previous phone. I don't like the way my replacement(refurbished) phone runs. For example sometimes the screen goes from bright to low. I keep it on the low setting. Also the keyboard is slow even writing this out right now. Also apps like safari randomly close. I only have about 20 apps and 130 pics and nothing else.
    Could I get another replacement iPhone for this replacement iPhone?
    I just don't want to get suck with a phone that doesn't work before my warranty runs out.
    Please help me out!

    So you can only get a hardware replacement, when the issue present is caused by problems with the hardware. Your issue specifically, is software related and will require troubleshooting to fix. With that being said, if your problems are similiar to the ones you were having on your old phone, restoring from a backup will generally contain the same problem.
    I would go ahead and restore the device as new and troubleshoot / test in it's at most factory default to confirm you have yourself a wonderful working phone.
    Side note: A refurb phone is generally 100 times better than a brand new phone as it has been tested and thoroughly gone over before placing into your greesy apple hands.

  • How so I get my replacement iPhone 4s to be able to call and texts after I have restored it?

    Alright, so I was having problems with my iphone and verizon sent me a replacement. I followed all the instructions and restored the replacement iPhone, but I can't get it to call or text anyone. As you can see in the image I have included, it doesn't say 3G like it should. Can someone tell me what I should do?

    To expand on what Meg said, it would not say 3G in the status bar since you are connected to Wi-Fi. While you restored the backup, like Meg said, you still need to activate the device.

  • How much would it cost to get a replacement iPhone 5?

    i dropped my phone and the lcd screen won't work. how much would it cost to fix this or get a replacement phone?

    Check here:
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
    iPhone model
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c,
    iPhone 5
    $269
    iPhone 4s
    $199
    iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
    iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
    $149
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax.
    When setting up out-of-warranty service, Apple will request credit card pre-authorization for the maximum service fee listed above.  This amount will be deducted from your credit limit. The final service fee we charge will be determined during testing and may be less than the service fee listed above.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.

  • Can I get a replacement Iphone?

    Hi, I dropped my Iphone 4 in water recently and now the phone is dead (doesn't turn on at all)
    Can I go to the apple store and pay for a replacement, and if so how much?
    and also would I get the phone on the spot or would I have to wait?
    Thanks:D

    Do you reckon I could upgrade the phone so for example pay x amount extra for a refurbished iphone 4s or 5?

  • HT1766 My screen is smashed and I have to get a replacement Iphone so I am trying to back up

    I am trying to back up my Iphone on to my computer as I have a smashed screen and can't do anything with the phone as the touch screen will not work. Is there anyway I can back up my phone without having to enter my password on my phone as I am unable to do this

    First: Apple does not replace screens or repair mobile devices in any way. They will replace the device.
    Second: No. You will get the same model you had before.

  • How can I get a replacment iPhone?

    I have an old iPhone 5 that is a very bad shape. It is cracked on both sides dented all over and the battery drains extremely quickly. I'm also out of warranty. Can I go to the Genius Bar give them the old phone and $149 and leave with a new one? Or is that only if in warranty? What about the express replacment service?
    Please advise.

    Check prices in the links below:
    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:

    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

  • I had to get a replacement Iphone 4s and the apps that are for free, it keeps asking me for my info on my debit card. I can't install any free apps such as Facebook or facebook messenger, or even instagram.  is it because it's on a new iphone.

    none of my frre apps can be installed. is it because I have a replacement phone?

    Are you trying to install an iCloud backup?  If so, this is a standard step before your apps will be redownloaded.  (It authenticates your iTunes account on the new phone.)  Just provide the information being requested.

    Server overload is the issue, including activation
