I got a brand new iPhone 12 days ago, it was faulty from the beginning. New Phone?

So, the day i got my white iPhone 4s 16 GB it already started to turn itself off at all times.
Sometimes every 5 minutes, sometimes every hour.
So, i sent it in since the next Apple Store is a 2 hour car ride from where i live.
The first time it got back to me and the information sheet said that there was nothing wrong with my iPhone and that i probably just synched it wrong.
But the day i got it back it started acting up again. Same Problem as before.
So...i send it in again telling the really nice man at the Apple Support Hotline that i would like to have a replacement for my new but faulty iPhone, he responded that he will see what he can do.
The repair statis quotes that a replacement Phone is pending.. Does that mean i get an all new one??
As the title said my Phone is only 12 years old. Does the 14 days thing from Apple include replacements for Phones which have been sent in for service?
Thanks for your answer!

Replacements via Apple tech support are usually refurbished units, not new stock, though none of us here can say with certainty what you will receive. But you will not be able to tell the difference between new stock and a refurbished unit, and refurbished units generally go through more extensive testing than do new units, so getting a refurb may well be better than getting new stock.
Regards.

I just got a brand new iphone 4s yesterday and found that the phone already had 10 days 15 hours cellular time on it, does it mean the phone is a used one?

That's not a reset pin. There is no reset hole in which to poke it. Neither is there a reset button. It is the SIM removal tool. If you had it, it would save you the agony of finding a paper clip.
The User Guide is available at http://support.apple.com/manuals/ or downloadable from iTunes as an iBook.

I just got a brand new laptop and I can't seem to put music onto my iPhone - help? I'd really rather not completely empty my iPhone in order to have it agree with this new laptop. How do I get them to talk to one another and let me put my music on my iPhone?

The iPhone will only Sync to One iTunes Library at a time.

HT4623 just got a brand new iPhone 5 today and my iMessage wont activate on my new phone

just got a brand new iphone 5 today from apple, and my imessages will not activate with the new phone. I was wondering if i had to wait a while for it to activate or is there a problem. I keep getting the message that says it is unable to activate at this time.

it can take up to 24 hours to activate.

HT1766 Got a brand new iphone 4s, went to bed with it fully chearged, woke up and the phone is off, can't turn it on!!! Help

I got a brand new Iphone 4s, fully charged as I went to bed. Woke up to see the time and I was expecting a call. The screen was blank, I can not turn it on. Nothing is happening. I 'm in freeze mode. How can I turn it on?

First be sure it's charged. If you're not sure, plug your charger into a wall outlet for at least 15 minutes. If it's still unresponsive, try to reset it: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.

Verify whether i got a brand new iphone?

hello,
how can i verify whether i've received a brand new iphone or not? the salesperson, opened the box and activated behind a high desk, (where i could not see). the phone is making noises (from speaker i believe), when i keep it near my CPU(PC), which also has speakers built in front of the chassis.
And since, iphones can be reseted to factory defaults, an old one will look lik exactly new, unless until we know which serial number was initially sold to whom?
So i want to know whether the serial# i own (iphone i.e.) does actually belong to me as a first user or not? before i go back into the store...
If i send the serial # of my phone to Apple, will they send me the first user name?
thank you.

When you bought a phone, unless you specifically asked for a refurbished phone, you received a new phone. However, if you returned your phone for warranty work, and your phone was replaced, it was either a new or refurbished phone, dependent on the store's inventory. The fact it could be new or refurbished under warranty is part of the warranty agreement and that is what you get. Refurbished phones are exactly that, one that has been refurbished and inspected by Apple. Those units get more of a quality control inspection than brand new phones.
If you are concerned about your new phone and your warranty, then just enter your serial number at the Apple page and it will tell you your warranty dates. If you get a replacement phone under warraty, your warranty will continue until the original expiration date of your warranty. The refurbished phone is warrantied as well.

My Macbook Pro *****! I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button.

I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button. a 2 week old computer is not supposed to do this! it wastes all its time being so flashy that it just craps out all the time. sometimes i feel like i should have stayed with my virus covered PC. at least when it shut down randomly you could turn it back on, but with the macbook pro, it just keeps restarting itself over and over. need help with this, any answers?

Here's a novel thought. Take it back to the vendor. Should have done that one week ago.

This is a good deal.
I paid that for my 2009 27 inch iMac with similar specs through an Apple Reseller.
Is this from an individual or Authorized Apple Reseller?
If from an individual, then there will be no type of warranty.
An Apple Authorized Reseller wil have a warrany period of 30 days to six months depending.

HT4528 I recently got the iPhone 5s and I transferred all of my music, pictures, etc. over from my iPhone 5. My music was playing fine the day I got it (2 days ago) and now my music skips, stops in the middle of the songs, or just stops playing and exits.

What can I do?

Not sure if this will help but a reset is the first thing to try. To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

WHY VERIZON TOOK AWAY A SECOND UPGRADE TO REPLACE A BRAND NEW PHONE THAT WAS DEFECTIVE

I have had a cellular account for many years with Verizon. I currently have three (3) lines on my account. (removed), which is my phone, (removed), which is my husband’s phone, and (removed) which is my son’s phone.
I upgraded my phone to the Ipone 4 in 2012 under my son’s line (5841), so this line should be eligible for another upgrade this year.
In April 2014 I upgraded my husband’s phone under my line (9835). We originally upgraded to the Moto X, and I was charged the $35.00 upgrade fee. Unfortunately the Moto X had multiple issues and your tech support could not figure out how to fix the bugs so they replaced the first Moto X with a second one, that still had issues, so we were sent a third one, but Tech Support couldn’t get the phone activated. Since we went through three (3) Moto X’s and your Tech support admitted this phone is known for certain issues, a supervisor overrode the 14 day return rule and allowed us to choose a different phone for the upgrade. My husband wanted to go back to the Droid Maxx, which is what he originally had and loved. I had to pay $99.00 for this phone. The supervisor had to get my permission to extend my contract under this line (9835) an additional two (2) months since we were switching the original upgraded phone to a different one and I of course agreed, whats another two (2) months. I was not charged $35.00 a second time.
When I went on line to see when the (5253) line would be eligible for upgrade so I can upgrade my Iphone that is now two (2) years old and starting to have serious issues, I saw that this line is not eligible until August 2016, which means your company is claiming we already did an upgrade for 2014 which WE DID NOT.
On August 25, 2014 my husband called tech support about the Droid Maxx as it was having DATA issues, it would not send or receive pictures and kept saying Data Error. Tech Support did a hard reset, which did not fix the problem. It also stopped taking pictures and a few other problems with it so Tech Support sent us a new Droid Maxx under the manufacturer’s warranty since the phone is under one (1) year old. But Apparently whoever put in the order put it in as a upgrade happening on August 25, 2014. When I called to get this straightened out, I was advised that on May 20, 2014 we upgraded to the Droid Maxx so this line is not eligible for upgrade until May 2016. I tried to explain this was NOT an upgrade it was an override of the 14 day return rule to allow us to change the upgraded phone to the Droid Maxx since the original upgrade phone the Moto X had multiple issues that could not be fixed by your company. I am now being told that I autherized a second upgrade under the 5253 line for the Droid Maxx which is NOT TRUE. I would never have authorized an upgrade for a second line to replace a BRAND NEW PHONE that was an upgrade on the 9835 line. That makes no sense whatsoever. It was not our fault that the Moto X is a phone that has issues that is no fault of ours, so why should I be punished and have an upgrade taken away from me in order to replace a Brand New Phone that didn’t work?
I talked to customer service two days ago and promised a call back to resolve this in 24-48 hours, but I never got a call back.
I have been a loyal customer of Verizon since I have been out on my own. I had Verizon landline for many many years and went to Verizon Wireless when they became available. I have talked many many friends into switching to Verizon because their customer service has always been top notch and I always felt like this company cared about its customers. But to have this happen just has me speechless.
As I explained above, my phone needs replacing very soon as it is two (2) years old. I can’t get voice messages that are clear, it drops calls, even with full bars, it doesn’t ring half the time when someone calls me. I have been told on numerous occasions that someone has tried to call me but it went straight to voice mail, but my phone is always on, it showed no miss calls, nor did it ever ring so the calls aren’t even going through. It has had a hard reset a few times, but the issues are just getting worse. I am not going to upgrade under my son’s line 5841 in November because I am not going to extend his contract for two (2) more years. He has an old flip phone that is four (4) years old and if that phone goes up, how will he be be able to upgrade if I have to use his upgrade?
I am asking that you please look into this matter and correct this upgrade issue. The 5253 line should be eligible for an upgrade now, not in 2016.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If you need to contact me you can try calling my cell at (removed). (If the call will go through)
Thank you
(removed)
Looks like US Cellular has a promotion going on where they will buy out my contracts if I go with them. Guess I will be leaving Verizon since they refuse to do the right thing.

shoostar, I'm sorry this had to occur on your new phone. In your post, I show you were heading back to the store to exchange your device. Please let us know if the store reps were able to resolve your issue or if they simply exchanged the phone. When a customer has an issue with an application, we always first recommend removing the application off the phone. If you are able to remove the app and still have issues or are not able to remove the app, the second suggestion is a master reset. I have listed both options below for your convenience.
Steps to remove an application below:
Note: Applications included with the Android Operating System may not have an uninstall option.
From the home screen, select the App menu.
Select Settings.
If the application icon is missing, select App menu filter (located at the top) then select All apps.
Select Applications.
Select Manage applications.
From the All tab, select an application.
Select Uninstall.
Select OK.
Select OK.
Steps below to perform Hard/Master Reset:
Note: Performing a hard reset will remove ALL data including the Google account, system data, application data, application settings, and downloaded applications.
From the home screen, select the App menu.
Select Settings.
If the application icon is missing, select App menu filter (located at the top) then select All apps.
Select Privacy.
From the Personal data section, select Factory Data Reset.
Select Reset phone.
If presented, enter the current passcode or draw the unlock pattern.
Select Erase Everything.
Allow up to 3 minutes for the factory data reset and reboot processes to complete, then perform initial activation and setup.
