IPhone 3GS Warranty

Hi guys,
Ive had my new iPhone for about a month now and I brought this via the online Apple Store. I am from New Zealand and I was just wondering about my warranty and how do I apply for one? Is there an online website or does apple need to send me a form or something?
Any info would be great.
PB

You'll only need your receipt to make a warranty claim

  • IPhone 3GS warranty if bought from Apple Store Online

    I bought an iPhone 3GS (unlocked) directly from Apple.com.au (the australian apple site) while living i Australia. Recently the on/off button is not working very well, I have tried to restore to no avail...
    Now I moved from Australia, taking my iPhone with me to another country (Sweden). Here they only sell the device with special plans and locked to certain operators. I do have the receipt from the purchase from the Apple store in Australia. Does this still mean I have to send it to Australia to get it fixed? After all it is unlocked and bought directly from Apple, ie no purchase a'la international-orders.com/ebay etc?
    That would def. suck as the device is fairly new and it would cost me a lot in money and time to fix it. What do you think?

    You plan on shipping your iPhone directly to Apple where in Italy?
    Apple does not have Apple stores in every country where Apple computers are sold including in every country where the iPhone is sold, the same for AppleCare, and the same for a physical location where you can ship anything to Apple. Even if you could, would you plan on shipping your iPhone to Apple unannounced without being expected?
    If Apple does have an Apple store or stores in Italy, you can call an Apple store there and ask if they are willing to accept the iPhone being shipped to them by you. If not, you would need to return to the country with the iPhone to handle an exchange or repair, or ship the iPhone to someone you know in the country to handle this for you.

  • Out of warranty iPhone 3Gs replacement w/ hardware malfunction

    I recieved my second replacement iPhone 3Gs 32GB from Apple in December. My original iPhone was glitching and the first replacement wouldnt recognize the SIM because it didnt fit.
    Anyway, I was studying for a test this summer and the home button just stopepd functioning. I now have to press really heard and hope it works.
    I scheduled an appointment and was told my phone:
    -is a replacement from December
    -is out of 'warranty'
    -was opened by the Apple technician only to find 'nothing wrong' withthe home button
    He said to call headquaters and ask them for a special exception because it is definitely a hardware issue and I am too far out of the 'replacement warranty' for the Apple tech. to grant me an exception.
    I called 1-800-MYAPPLE only to be told by the computer that I cannot get phone support because I am out of 'warranty.' Go figure,
    Frustrated, I called my local apple store only to hear the person on the other end tell ME that they would liek to buy an Apple Macbook. I was then hung up on.
    I called another store and was told to come here, to the "chat" on the apple Support page.
    Someone, anyone...help.
    P.S. Why is that my original iPhone 3Gs warranty lasts an entire year, but a replacement doesn't? It was less than 6 months since I had recieved my replacement. I've been dealing with this for over a month!

    Basically because if you were dishonest, and that is not an accusation you could then turn it into an everlasting warranty!  Hope you take that in the manner it is meant!

    So even if I just ask to pay them to replace the lock button they won't because my screens are third-party?
    Apple does not repair devices beyond replacing the screen on some models or a battery replacement.  They replace the ENTIRE device.
    For the Out of Warranty replacement cost, you could have gotten a fully functional replacement device.  Instead you chose to spend less to get only the screen replaced and continue to live with additional issues.
    Apple will not touch the device now.  They will know that it was opened elsewhere and that the replacement screen is not original.

  • 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!

  • IPhone 3GS hairline crack - out of warranty

    Hi,
    My iPhone 3GS bought January 2010 has developed a couple of cracks, heading upwards from the dock connector. First noticed them around six months ago, whilst the iPhone was still under warranty but didn't follow it up as they were tiny (and seemingly not getting any bigger).
    I've done a few searches on the web and read that this may be considered a manufacturing defect and would be replaced with warranty or not (providing no water/trauma damage). Any truth to this?
    Thanks

    One way to find out--go to an Apple Store and see if they'll replace it.

  • 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

  • Out-of-warranty iphone 3gs

    Now that the iphone 5 is out and the 3gs is discontinued/no longer available, will Apple still provide "out-of-warranty" service on the 3gs?  They used to service your out-of-warranty 3gs for 150 dollars.

    As of now:
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
    iPhone model
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    iPhone 5
    $229
    iPhone 4S
    $199
    iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
    iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
    $149
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax. "

  • Hi, my iPhone 3GS wall charger stoped working, and I went to Orange shop with my warranty and L.I.G. insurance.They said I should also give them the phone for almost 10 days, isn't there a faster way, is it possible the Apple Store replaces my wall charge

    My 5YO daughter owns her very own IPhone 3GS, she got it for her 5YO birthday on the 24th of june. its allready upgraded to iOS5, and works like a charm.
    Last evening, while it was charging, a flame appeared and the charger stopped working.The USB still works.
    It was plugged in a Belkin 3700 joule along with my 47 Inch Full HD TV .
    No storm or something like that, and there was nothing wrong with my TV, as in was still running.
    Problem.
    I went today to an Orange store here in Romania, with the charger, invoice,warranty, and L.I.G. (London Insurrace Group ((I think))) insurrance, and they said I MUST also bring the iPhone, and thet it will take just about 10 working days for them to give me back the Iphone, and a new charger.
       Is there a faster way I can get the wall charger replaced?
    Should I try going to the Apple Store with the warranty from Orange.
    Thank you for your answers.
    Please excuse my English.
    CONDOLENCES APPLE. for your painfull loss.

  • Apple Care Warranty - Iphone 3Gs 16g discontinued

    My warranty is ending in a few weeks and I never used it yet.. my phone is actually getting tired, Home button not always working, weird sport in the screen, battery draining really fast..
    I just read that Apple Store don't have any Iphone 3gs 16gig anymore to sell at their stores.
    I was just wondering, if I get there to use my warranty and get a new Iphone, will they get me a refurbished 3gs 16g and a Iphone 4 ?
    In the AppleCare contract, do they have the right to replace my Iphone with a refurbished one ?
    Thanks

    A refurbished iPhone from apple is pretty much new. The glass will be new and the back casing will be new so it looks new. The serial number will be new & since the SIM card try has the serial number on it the SIM card tray will be new too.
    I've had three refurbished iPhones for warranty issues and they have all appeared to look new and have no issues out of the box or issues related to them being refurbished.

  • 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

  • I have one of the speaker failed on iPhone 3GS. How do I get this repaired under warranty. My phone is just 45 days old.

    As tonefox says, all iphones have ony one speaker on the bottom.
    This is clearly illustrated in the manual.
