IPhone 3GS out of warranty replacement

I'm italian so sorry for my english. I have an iPhone 3GS: it has some scratches and it doesn't work very good since it dropped from the tabel some months ago. Ah, it's obviously out of warranty. My question is: if I pay the maximum price for out-of-warranty replacement (161€/200$) can I have a new or refurbished iPhone? Maybe hoping in a new model one (I think that there are not any 3GS anymore)?

Hello,
     The cheapest and most efficient method would be to do a battery replacement. To do so bring your iPhone to a local Genius Bar and they will replace the whole device for 79$ US. If they do not have the device in stock, thay will ship one to you and your 3GS will need to be returned to Apple. Alternatively you can contact Apple Care and order a battery replacement phone for 79$ + shipping. It will be replaced with a 3GS as they are still in production for AT&T new. The Genius Bar option is the best though as you are guaranteed a new phone if they have it in stock!
Sincerely,
Michael

  • If I'm Getting my iPhone an Out-of-Warranty Replacment

    If I'm Getting my iPhone an Out-of-Warranty Replacment for a cracked screen, do I need to tell them any information? I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and going to West Edmonton Mall to have an out-of-warranty replacment.

    I'm assuming this is being done by Apple. Since you're getting a replacement iPhone, you obviously have to provide the them info they request regarding your broken phone and will have to update your carrier with the new info such as the IMEI #.

  • How can I get a Brand New iPhone 3GS as a warranty replacement phone?

    4/26/2011
    Does anyone how I can get a brand new iPhone 3GS as a warranty  replacement for my iPhone 3GS? I already had the phone replaced once with a refurbished phone that has a problem with becoming frozen and unresponsive. This occurred ten times since I got the phone on 4/16/2011. I have tried doing a hard reset and have also restored the phone as a new device. I have an Apple Care plan. I am concerned that the refurbished phones will not be reliable due to my experience with the refurbished  one that I got as a replacement.
    Thanks!

    Thanks very much for your reply! I have a Genius Bar appointment today maybe they can test the phone to see if they can determine whether or not it is defective.
    Thanks Again!

  • Will Apple replace my iPhone 3GS out of warranty due to accidental liquid exposure and a broken sim card tray?

    Like many people, my iPhone 3GS was recently exposed to liquid and the phone immediately died. The sim card was not exposed to direct liquid and I was able to get it out; however, the sim card tray was siezed up and would not eject, so when removing the sim card, the tray broke. I have filed an out of warranty claim to get it replaced; however, upon reading some of their disclaimers, I noticed that Apple has a section where they won't replace a phone exposed to liquid damage.
    I have read various posts on these forums that say they will however. I am curious if I should send my phone off to get replaced...or if doing so would be a waste of money and time. There is a clause that says they can choose to not replace the phone and still bill you for time to examine the phone.
    Please help.

    Out of warranty replacements cover just that and also accidental damage if in warranty
    as long as iPhone isn't in many pieces
    In US the cost is $149 for a 3G /GS /4 and $199 for a 4S other countries similar in local currency

  • IPhone 4s out of warranty replacement - how to arrange??? HELP!

  • Smashed iPhone 4S - Out of warranty replacement

    I dropped my iPhone 4S and the screen has stopped working as well as the back being cracked. The phone itself is still working - I've been making calls via Siri; have been recieving texts and can play music etc. I haven't had the phone for very long, but I understand that the damage is not covered by the warranty I still have. I've contacted Apple and they have said I can get a complete replacement, which will be refurbished or 'as new', for £146 if I send my phone to them. My question is, is this worth it?
    I assume the replacement will have the same specs. i.e. 16GB; white. But I was wondering what the actual condition of the refurbished phones are like? Do they have scratches etc? As mine was absolutely mint condition before the accident! In your opinion, are refurbs. better than 'brand new' untested phones?
    Will I still have the rest of my year's warranty if I get it replaced or will I get a complete year again, or will replacing it void any warranty? As I don't want to get a replacement which has an issue that I didn't create which would usually be covered by the warranty, and not be able to get fixed for free by Apple.
    Also, do I get to keep my orignial iPhone box, or do I need to send that off? And how long does the entire process take?
    I've been to a phone shop and they said they will replace the screen and the back for £60, however, until they open it up, they do not know if there is any internal damage (which I'm worried about!) - for all I know, I've damaged the camera and who knows what else! As I'm sure if I get it tampered with at a shop, I will void my warranty and won't be able to get it replaced at all by Apple.
    Thank you!

    Unauthorised tampering will invalidate your warranty
    Apple will sell you an "out of warranty replacement ,like for like
    at a cost of £139  in store or £146 for mail in
    replacement will take the remainder of original iPhone warranty
    or 90 days which ever is longer
    refurbished iPhones are as new and you will not know the difference
    between refurb and a "brand new iPhone

  • IPhone 4 out of warranty replacement

    I bought a 16gb iPhone 4 on craigslist and the screen is cracked. I took it to the Apple Store and they said since the screen being cracked is considered accidental damage and therefore not covered by the warranty, they would replace my phone for $150. The only problem is that they don't make the 16gb model of the iPhone 4 anymore. What would they replace my phone with, an 8gb iPhone 4 or a 16gb iPhone 4s?

    They would replace it with the exact same model.
    An out of warranty replacement is not new, it is a refurb.  I highly doubt that they are out of them.

  • IPhone 3G out of warranty replacement

    Hi. I have an iPhone 3G that has started switching itself off for no aparent reason. If I send it back to Apple as part of their out of warranty replacement will they replace it with a refurbished iPhone 3G or do they no longer have them and will it be replaced with an iPhone 4?

    Hi emma,
    From the messgege, i can see that this could be a hardware related problem or a software bug. Before sending/visiting apple store, i would like to first try backing up your phone via icloud/itunes. After that i would like you to complete wipe and restore you iphone backup and update to the lastest version of ios Via- general >softwareupdate.
    IF the problem continues, I recommend you book a genius bar appoitment to the nearest apple retail store and they will either replace/ repair with your own cost or for free. I would avoid sending it off as it would cause delay and taking to the store would be an ideal solution.

  • IPhone 4S out-of-warranty replacement

    Hello. I have two questions regarding the policy that Apple has for devices out of warranty.
    Recently I was given a Verizon iPhone 4S with a broken front glass and a battery that does not last for more than 12 hours. So my question is, if I take the device to an Apple store, will they accept to replace the device with a refurbished one by paying $199? And if yes, is it possible to get a GSM device (one that can work on AT&T) instead of a CDMA?
    Thank you.

    Yes to your first question and no to the second.
    The exchange will be the same model, storage capacity, and color.

  • Original Iphone 2g needs an Out-of-Warranty replacement

    I have an Original Iphone 2g.  It is broken and needs an Out-of-Warranty replacement.  However, I live in Canada and went to talk to a genius at and Apple store here who told me that because it was never available in Canada he can't touch it. He said I could drive down to the States, but that is quite the mission.  I am just wondering what my options might be besides that?  Can I not just mail it into apple?  I don't want them to charge me $99999.99 for diagnostic fees, mail and then they say a replacement is not possible.
    Thanks,
    JR

    The original iPhone was indeed never released in Canada, so you would have to drive to the US for service or send it someone you know in the US who could take it to Apple on your behalf and then return it to you (Apple will not accept out-of-country shipments nor ship the replacement out of the US). You could still get it replaced at an Apple Store for $149 US:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
    Going through a third-party shop may be cheaper, but again it may not, depending on what's wrong with the iPhone. In either case I don't know if that old iPhone is worth it. It might be better to put the money toward a new iPhone; you can get a new unlocked 3GS for CA$375 from the Apple Store.
    Regards.
