I phone screen is STUPID, can I get it replaced?

I have an iPhone 4s. I pre-ordered it, and was very excited to get it on the first delivery day.
I have noticed that the screen isnt very good at all. Despite taking VERY good care of it ( I treat it more carefully than a new born baby, without a doubt), it somehow has scratches on it. Very small, but very deep. Almost like a tiny peice of dirt rubbed itself into the screen.
I know you can pay 50-60 dollars for a new screen, take it apart and put it back together brand new. BUT that voids the warrenty. I was wondering if the warrenty covers the screen at all.....since its supposed to be shatter proof, yet it gets scratches easier than a hot knife cuts through butter. I am very upset about this. I thought the iPhone would be so awesome, but my sister and parents andriod goes through rougher treatment, and the screen is NOT scratched.
What should i DO? The screen drives me NUTS, and replacing it will be risky + void my warrenty. I am very very dissipointed... to the point of tears and even lost some sleep over it, just THINKING about it (yes, I have 'scratched car syndrome') I cant get my mind off it. I paid a lot of money for this device and take such good care of it, a scratch on the screen is just detrimental to it AND it said it had very very strong glass protecting it.. I feel so lied to...

Only with purchase or 30 days after and even so it wouldn't be eligible since there is already damage
How to get AppleCare+
Add it to your shopping cart during the checkout process when you purchase your new iPhone.
Buy it within 30 days of your iPhone purchase at Apple Retail (requires a Genius Bar appointment, inspection of the iPhone & proof of purchase).

    So what if you've never dropped it?  Impact force is not the only way to damage something.  Excessive pressure will do it as well.
    What do you mean it was 'just hit by knee'?  Do you mean you kneeled on it?

    Given we are just users here, we really don't know what your options may be. Take it to a local Apple reseller/store if there is one.

  • My iPad air's screen is broken, can I get a replacement free?

    It's in warrant.

    Warranty doesn't cover accidental damage.
    It will cost you approximately US$219.00 to US$299.00 depending on the model.
    Apple will replace the entire iPad; they don't repair.

  • HT4993 if your screen cracks, can you get a replacement screen installed on the iphone/

    if your screen cracks, can you get a replacement screen installed on the same phone?

    With iPhone 4 Apple will not replace the screen. They will replace the entire iPhone 4. If you want the screen replaced on the same iPhone 4, you have to do it yourself.

  • IPhone 4s 'ringer' icon stays on the screen and i can't get rid of it..?

    Hi, I have the new iPhone 4s but am finding that the mute o'ringer' icon stays on the screen and i can't get rid of it..! Which means it overshadows anything you are doing. Any ideas how to get rid of it? I have tried holding on/off and home button but it still does it... Thank you in advance.

    I don't know if anyone else has this problem: iphone ringer icon stays on
    I backed my phone up then did a complete reset on iTunes and its working fine now hope it helps someone

  • My Apple iphone 5 is less than a year old, meaning it's still under the 12 month warranty. The touchscreen has stopped working and there are lines across my screen. Can I get it replaced for free by booking an appointment in store?

    The rest of my phone is still perfectly operational. I can sync it to my Mac, I can still see my phone screen, meaning I can still see texts and calls coming through, the power button works, I can see my apps and my background, and the circle button at the bottom still works. It's just the touchscreen that isn't working. I can't slide across to answer calls or slide across to turn the phone off. As my phone is still under the 12 month warranty, will they replace my phone in store by booking an appointment at the Genius bar?

    I was taken through some diagnostics over the telephone with an Apple advisor, who asked me to restore the software, back my phone up, etc, which I have done. He couldn't rectify the problem so advised me to take it in. I am booked in this evening to see an Apple advisor in store. I don't know of anything that I have done for this to happen! It was in my pocket on holiday in Portugal and was ok one minute, I took it out of my pocket and the vertical lines were on my phone and the touchscreen had stopped working! I hope I can get it replaced.

  • 15" i7 Macbook Pro from early 2011.takes the mac laptop two or three tries to boot successfully. It would turn on, show gray screen, shut down, turn on again, show gray screen, shutdown, and then turn on, show gray screen, before it can finally get

    Hello All,
    I have a 15" i7 Macbook Pro from early 2011. The past few weeks, it has been getting increasingly difficult to get on my computer. It takes the mac laptop two or three tries to boot successfully. It would turn on, show gray screen, shut down, turn on again, show gray screen, shutdown, and then turn on, show gray screen, before it can finally get to the dark gray log-in screen. Even when I finally get logged in to start working, thinking it would be okay now, it shuts down randomly.
    I've ruled out the possibility of a software problem because I've just done a clean re-install of Mac OS X Mavericks on my computer just yesterday.
    I did upgrade the RAM recently, about a month and a half ago, from 4GB to 16GB, I went to the apple store four days after that upgrade to have them do a hardware test, and clean the inside of my laptop, which helped with previous heat issues. When they did the hardware test, the hardware was all registered as fine from their system.
    I've tried resetting the SMC, PRAM, and doing the internet recovery hardware test, but to no avail. I thought I could at least find out what parts needed to be replaced from the hardware test but it seems that when the hardware test is almost finished, the computer just shuts down, So I am unable to see the results.
    My computer is also having battery issues, under battery condition, it says "replace now," parts have been ordered, waiting for arrival. But if the battery health is low, it should still boot up fine, it would just hold a significantly less charge.
    Could this be a hard drive issue?
    Has anyone had similar symptoms and how was it resolved?
    Does anyone know what I can do to alleviate this issue?
    I haven't had time to take it to Apple because I'm currently taking a 21 credit semester academically. I'm an art and design student so my computer is basically the bane of my existence. Help! Any constructive advice is welcomed!
    Thank you so much for your input!
    -Christina C.

    I charged my phone and now I can't get it to turn on again. What do I do? I can't find a solution here. All I get are error messages.

    Try pulling the battery for 10 minutes and putting it back in.  Try pressing and holding the power button for a while 15-30 seconds to see if it will respond.  Did anything happen to it, drop, submersion, etc. Was it functioning before you charged, When did it last work. Are you sure it charged up and the charger is working.

    Leave it in the rice for at least a day and change the rice every other day or so. The rice and iPod should be in a sealed container.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $149. They do not fix yours.
