If I cracked the screen on my 5s and it's still under 1 year warranty, can I get a free replacement?

Hey. I dropped my phone yesterday and cracked the screen. There's also a huge chunk missing. I've had my 5s for about 10 months and I was wondering if I could get it replaced under the warranty for free by going to an Apple store?
If it helps, it has also been experiencing some minor software issues, like shutting down randomly for a couple seconds at a time as well. Those issues have been manageable. I just want to know my options before I spend a ton of money on a replacement phone when I could have avoided it.

Only if you purchased the extended Apple warranty. Otherwise, it will be treated as user negligence which voids the warranty.
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

You may need to put the iPad in recovery mode to restore it.

Yeah there's no setting for that. So either you don't have an iPhone, or your iPhone is jail broken. If it's jail broken, just restore to factory and all will be fixed :)

Dropping your iPod s not coverd by the warranty. You'll have to pay for the refurbished device:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
Out-of-Warranty Service: If your iPod requires service for any other hardware failure that is determined by Apple to be repairable, Apple will service your iPod for the Out-of-Warranty Repair Service fee.
If you want to set up your iPod for the Out-of-warranty service, we recommend that you take your iPod to a local Apple Retail Store. Alternatively, you can contact Apple Technical Support.
For more details, please refer to the Repair Pricing tab on the left.

The screen on my ipad became pixelated than went black. I can't get it to start up what to do?

the screen on my ipad 3 became pixelated then went black. it wont start up what should I do? Is this what happens when the battery fails?

Mine did something similar about a year ago. It became pixelated like this:
http://ipadhelp.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ipad-screen-colour-problem-620x40 0.jpg
Then the screen went black, but I could tell the iPad was still on (it was still making sounds when I did things like take a screenshot).
The thing that eventually fixed it for me was slapping the screen with an open hand (not joking). It still becomes pixelated if it gets bumped or dropped, but the "smack the screen" trick seems to work.
Good luck!

I lost my receipt for my iPod 5 and I cracked the screen, I checked online and it says my warranty is still good but do I need the receipt?

So I checked to see if the warranty is still good online and it is, but if I go to get it fixed will I still need a receipt?

No receipt is required since accidental damage is not covered by the warranty.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.

For warranty coverage you only need a receipt if this says you need one:

Why can't I get a free replacement for my iPad cracked screen?This is however not the case for others???

My friend dropped my sling bag which contained my 3rd gen iPad.Only when I reached home 30 mins later,then did I realise the LCD screen was cracked.This is the second time my iPad screen has cracked.The first time round,my father dropped it thanks to the smart over that snapped,so he got it replaced,external help though.This time,I searched the net only to find out Apple actually replaces iPad,be sure to type "iPad screen crack" on google and the first few links is it.So I contacted Apple,only to find out I have to pay a replacement fee,and a fe replacement is not allowed.Why is this so?Other users have too accidentally got their iPad screen cracked but still received a FREE replacement,but it has to be that few who can't get a free replacement.Shouldn't Apple have a uniform way of doing things?

Accidents happen, and apple can certainly assist you with replacement of said device. Most manufacters would tell you to buy a brand new retail unit, apple will charge you about half price for a replacement unit. I agree its unfortunate that it happend, but expecting a free replacement is just going to lead to disappointment

The hold button won't work and this morning i cracked the screen!!

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone can help me! The hold switch on my ipod nano does not work, or is very slow. It only works if I press down very hard on the hold button. This is of course very frustrating!
However, just this morning I cracked the screen.I know that cracked screens are accidental damage and are therefore not covered by warranty, but the hold button was not working before the screen was cracked- it is just bad luck that this has happened before sending my ipod off to Apple to see if they can resolve the issue.
Does anyone know if it is possible to get the hold-button issue fixed even though the screen is cracked? I am a bit of a disaster area with electrical goods, having cracked the screen of my laptop and of my phone in the past!
Thanks

I believe it is a hardware issue, you have to send it

I cracked the screen on my ipod16gb

I cracked the screen on my ipod16gb and i heard you can turn it in for a new one for $100 and I was wondering if I payed $50 more if i could upgrade to an ipod 32gb

When the user damages the device it may be subject to an out of warranty replacement at a reduced price compared to the full retail price. The replacement is for an identical device, same color, same capacity. No changes are permitted. You will get an iPod that is probably a refurbished unit.

I droped my I-touch and cracked the screen, is this covered under the warranty ?

Henry dropped the Ipod touch and cracked the screen. How can I get this fixed.

Hi,
Henry dropped his Ipod touch and cracked the screen and put in a passcode and now has forgotten his passcode. Need to know how I can get the screen fixed and or if it is covered on the 1 year warranty? How can I unlock the Ipod without the passcode?
Any info would be greatly helpful!
Lori Neumann

Take to an Apple retailer. Such damage is not covered by your warranty.
A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
Connect your device to your computer.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
Select the Summary tab.
Select the Restore option.
When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not necessary to create another.
Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up, you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple logo while starting up:
After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or you see "iPhone is activated."
The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.
