Iphone4 is dropped in a glass of water. Would it be covered by apple care?
Any input is appreciated!
Thank you

If you purchased the extended repair plan called AppleCare+ when you purchased the phone, it will be covered wth a $49 service fee. If not, then user damage is not covered.

Is this iPhone covered by apple care??

I Bought this 3G off craigslist and it boots up I see the apple logo then it dies
I don't know the serial number because it obviously doesn't turn on so if I take it to apple with no proof of purchase cuz I bought it off CL will they help me or replace it?

did you know you can buy refurbished iPhone 3GS for $79.00 from ATT online which would offer warrenty and also extended warrenty purchase options?? i don't understand why anyone would by an advanced device like this from an off the wall seller on eBay or especially CL...not a critism but rather a curiousity) seems risky, at best and no offers of guarantee of anything. I got my 3G from ATT new, over 2 years ago when it cost a premium and even then, if I had bought the extra apple care, it would have expired (time wise) and not warrenteed any longer.

My iphone 6 dropped in to very cold water(river) about 45 minutes

I want to sell one of the iPhones that I've purchased and I wanted to know if I sold it, would it void the apple care that I purchased for it?

I want to sell one of the iPhones that I've purchased and wanted to know if AppleCare would still cover it, of I were to sell it to someone else!

Apple Care follows the device, not the person that purchased it. As long as the device is registered under the Apple Care, then it stays with the device. The person purchasing the device would get the advantage of Apple Care.

Why my apple care for iphone doesn't transfer to my new phone after I claim a new one from apple store ?

2 days ago my iphone fall into a sink full of water. Yesterday I went to apple store and ask for apple care for iphone and they have it. So, I bought it and registered it right away since my iphone still be in a garentee and still not surpass one year usage. Then they told me that my iphone problem considered in a "physical damage case" which they have a policy for claiming a new iphone and pay some fee. After I got my new iphone, they said that all the information and phone data which is registered into apple system about the phone and the user and bla bla bla will transfer to my new iphone. Today, I just check my phone serial number in "support & coverage " column and I found that all the phone data in apple system is already transfered from the old one to the new one EXCEPT the data of apple care that I already registered before I claimed the new phone. Now, the question is " What can I do ? " and " will it be transferd to my new iphone or I have to buy a new apple care for my NEW PHONE That I got from their service "

Placing your iPhone in the toilet was the correct thing to do but you should have purchased an android phone instead. That would have solved these issues. :-)

I have a Iphone 4s and a ipad mini. the ipad mini recently got water damage, tried the rice trick...nothing. I have apple care plus on my iPhone, does that work on my ipad too? if so that would be great bc defintally can't afford a new one ,lol

Welcome to the boards.
First, what kind of liquid was it, and was it fully submersed? For how long? Do you see water droplets or moisture behind the screen? How long did you leave it in rice for? Etc. More data please.
And the short answer is no, apple care does not extend from your iPhone to your iPad mini. Both items require separate Apple Care plans to be covered. Furthermore, I don't think water damage is covered under Apple Care. Only manufacturing defects.
If you bought it on a Credit Card, you may be lucky enough to call them and ask them if they have a replacement program as a benefit for being a card holder. I believe AMEX has one on their Platinum cards, and worse case scenario, you can always try to file a claim with your home insurance or renters insurance (check your policy). Just beware, if you go the Insurance route in filing a claim, you might have your premium go up in the next cycle.
It's a double edged sword, I'm sorry.

HT1349 Will apple care replace my water damaged iPhone 4s

I have a iPhone 4s with slight water damage and I would like to know if apple care will replace it for the $49.99 deductible. I do have AppleCare

If you have Applecare plus, then yes.

Can an Australian IPhone 6 Plus have UK Apple care Plus?

Hi guys
I am thinking of buying an Australian iPhone 6 Plus - I am currently in Australia. It is the same region as the UK iPhone 6 Plus and the same model number. I have 2 questions. First, can I buy Apple Care Plus in the UK and for it to be valid for accidental damage (within the requisite 60 days) even though it is an Australian iPhone and second, if I bought Apple Care Plus in Australia - would that be valid in the UK for accidental damage or just Australia?
Thanks everyone in advance.
A

Apple Care plus covers everything, but as far as I know accidental damage is something that Apple Care plus won't cover. Any hardware problem is covered by Apple Care plus. Whereas for accidental damage, you need to pay for the replacement price. So you need not worry about getting it fixed anywhere if incase anything hardware related happens.

Yes. Everything that came in the box is covered. If you have a problem, bring everything that came in the box to an Apple Store to be evaluated.

Can I still purchase Apple Care for my old iPhone 4?

When I got my iPhone 4 nearly a year ago, I was told that I could purchase Apple Care at any point in the first year to extend the warranty an extra year, etc. I was planning to do that today (I couldn't take the financial hit before it became necessary at the year's end), but I see now that with the iPhone 4S has come AppleCare+, which much be pruchased within 30 days after your phone purchase. As I have an older model, I don't see how this should apply to me—30 days had already come and gone before they came out with this new policy! So, my question is this: How can I purchase the original Apple Care extenstion for my older phone?

You cannot purchase the extended warranty after the end of the standard one year warranty. You might find other companies that offer limited forms of extended warranties such as those offered for used cars.

What will they replace iPhone 5 under Apple Care +?

What will Apple replace iPhone 5 that no longer work and are covered by Apple Care now that the iPhone 5 is gone?

of course. There are always replacement units available.

Last week I dropped my new iphone and smashed the front glass, I made an appointment at the Apple Store in Phila., and they treated me like royalty. The store replaced my phone with a brand new one as a one time courtesy, thank you Apple and your store i

Thank you Apple store in Philadelphia for your royal service! I dropped my new iphone and damaged the front glass, and it was replaced with a new phone as a one time courtesy. I am enamoured with their courtesy and kind service there. The trip to the Philadelphia store was a pleasing experience. A big thank you to all the fine rep's at that location....thank you!

Bee , you are so right that most people only post when things go wrong not right. Which made me think about the Apple Store in Charleston, SC. I have never had a bad experience and besides buying my iMac there (which was a really good experience as it took us several trips to decide and they were really helpful) I have had a number of 1:1's and I think one trip to the genius bar which resulted in a new mouse. Everyone I have dealt with there has been respectful and helpful. At least with those visits you do get a chance to provide feedback.
Nice to post these kinds of comments now and then too.

I dropped my iPhone 5 into my glass of water last night. (fully submerged)and i left it in a bag of rice overnight.I turned it on at 3:00 afternoon and thebuttons and soundis working as far as I know,but the touch screen isnt what do I do?? please help

I dropped my iphone 5 into a glass of water last night. Fully submerged. I put it in a bag of rice overnight and took it out and turned it on at about 3:00 this afternoon just to check on it. The buttons and sound were working, as far as I know, but the touch screen would not work at all... WHAT DO I DO??

Turn it off and put it back in the rice for 2-3 days. Do NOT turn it on or attempt to charge it. Turning it on when it was not fully dry may have already done additional damage.
Even if you had let it dry completely before turning it on, there is no guaranty that the outcome would have been any different, though.

Gregory Johnson, Director of the Consumer Defense Resource Group, responds to the recent iPhone price drop.

Gregory Johnson, Director of the Consumer Defense Resource Group, responds to the recent iPhone price drop.
In a strange turn of events this week, some consumers are upset now because as of Wednesday (Sept. 5) Apple lowered the retail price of their iPhone by $200. The 8GB iPhone is now $400 rather than $600. Customers raised such an outcry that Steve Jobs has published an open letter in response.
Apple and other companies are continually coming out with new products that usually offer more speed, more storage, more features, and cost less than previous models. Nobody has ever complained -- until now. Why haven't people complained in the past when Apple has had significant price drops and major upgrades on their other products? There wasn't a revolt then. There were no mobs of angry customers demanding rebates.
My first CD drive was a 2X speed external drive that required a special interface card in the computer. It cost $1,200 and today better drives are available for about $30. My first scanner was a very slow and big unit costing over $1,000. Today, better scanners are available for under $100. My first computer cost more than $2,000 and had a 20MB hard drive. With 8GB of storage, the iPhone should cost about $800,000. So, $600 didn’t seem too expensive.
I bought my iPhone for $600 knowing that by next year they would probably drop to about $300 or $400. I didn't think there would be a mid-year drop, but so what. I knew the trajectory of technology progress would mean that a better phone will be available in 6 to 9 months at probably a lower price -- more apps, faster, more features, more memory. It's a given. You buy something this month. Next month it will be obsolete. That's just the way it is. Perhaps Apple should put a disclaimer on their website stating: "Warning: Our products will increasingly become faster, cooler, more innovative, and offer greater value for the dollar as time goes on. Get used to it."
Apple is progressing so quickly now, beyond any other technology innovation company, that this kind of thing is likely to happen again in the future with some other product of theirs. Are people going to complain each time? Must the company give out rebates each time? This all seems so silly. It’s no longer possible to compare Apple to other companies with regard to their ability to implement product improvements. It’s like dog years versus human years. Two months in Apple’s world of product development is equal to about 6 to 9 months for most manufacturers. I know it is difficult, but people need to get used to that.
To the complainers out there, I have a few questions. Would you like Apple to be less innovative? Would you like Apple to not give you more value and voluntarily drop their prices by hundreds of dollars? Is that what you want? Don't get upset at Apple just because they are pushing the envelope of technical innovation and value from one month to the next. What if Apple released an 8-core computer this summer and then by fall they announced their new 16-core computer? This is the kind of development and progress pace we need to start expecting from Apple. The migration to Intel processors went much faster than anticipated.
Some research suggests that the iPhone cost of materials are about $300. So, there had been some complaints that Apple is price gouging by selling the iPhone for twice that amount. What people don’t understand is that there are other costs in building a piece of technology and running a business beyond the electronic components that go into them. The actual cost per 8GB iPhone is probably about $550. When Apple sells them for $400 each, I calculate they are taking a loss on the phone of about $150 per phone. Why would a company do this? There is something called a “lost leader” in retail sales. It’s a product you sell below your cost in an effort to rapidly expand your customer base. I’m guessing this is what Apple is doing by offering the iPhone at such an amazingly low price.
I'm planning to purchase an Apple notebook sometime soon. I'm not in a hurry, so I'm waiting until they announce the next major upgrade to their notebook line. I'm guessing it will be this fall. If I really was in a rush to get a notebook, I'd get one now, and then be a little disappointed when the new ones are announced -- but I wouldn’t be surprised. Instead, I'm waiting. I'd like to see built-in broadband cards (cellular data access) and LED back lighting in the 17-inch notebook. Perhaps larger hard drives and faster processors would be nice. It would be wonderful if it had an optical glass touch screen like the iPhone.
This latest uproar reminds me of the consumer complaints about iPods scratching. For decades, portable handheld computing devices have been available. They get scratched, and nobody says anything. Anyone concerned about their device scratching can purchase a protective cover. Then Apple comes along and offers their product. Suddenly consumers are in an uproar about it scratching and there is a class action lawsuit. It doesn’t seem fair that the most progressive and innovative company out there is the one that gets beaten up by consumers the most.

I've read too many reports in the media from people more highly credentialed than Mr. Johnson to the contrary.
The analogies and comparisons are still way off. Production didn't get cheaper, the phone didn't get upgraded, no carrier's are subsidizing, retailer's are not discounting. Never has the MSRP of CD-ROMs, nor cellphones, nor HDTV's dropped this quickly in history.
I'm tired and going to bed. But here's your assignment. Apple's price decrease rate is 33.3% in 67 days. What would a $10,000 item cost at that rate in one year?
Actually product advancement and innovation are very much the central issue here. Apple has effectively "upgraded" the 4GB unit to 8GB and reduced the price by $100. It's all in how you look at it.
The real issue of innovation and development has yet to be seen, but the recent price drop is an indicator that Apple already has something "in the shoot" to be released soon.
I was thinking it might take a year for a new version of the iPhone to be announced. Yet, with the recent price drop, it seems they may be lowering the price on the original unit to make room for a new one. Which is my point exactly. Apple is so fast at innovating that they already have something new to release (that's my prediction).
They can't release something new and sell the old units if the "something new" and the "something old" are at the same price. It makes sense that the 8GB unit would drop to $400 and the new one will be $600.

TS3274 I have an iPad 2 that was dropped and the glass broke.

I have an iPad 2 that was dropped and the glass broke around Christmas break. I took it to a local computer repair company and they changed the glass. However, ever since that time I have had some problems with the wifi. I do not have the range I once had? For example I can walk out of the room that my verizon jetpack is in and loose connection. I have also had issues with my Keynote presentations loosing connectivity to Apple TV through the blue tooth. Q What are my options beside getting a new iPad?

Some iPad users have been able to revive their dropped iPad. Turn the iPad over and give it a HARD SLAP on the back. May take several slaps.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
