Iphone 4 scratching

Hello, recently I recieved my Iphone 4 a week ago. While at a friends pool, I decide to leave my iphone 4 on a side table. My iphone overheated and recieved the temperature warning on the phone. Realizing this Iimmediatly pulled my phone out of its case(Incase slider for Iphone 4) and set it in a sunless area to cool down. My phone seemed okay after that day but 3 days later I started noticing small scrathes on my iphones front glass panal. These scratches were odd due to the fact that I have not done anything rough with my phone. I take good care of it and make sure to cover the front sceen with a microfiber cloth wherever i go(yes it sems strange but i hate finger prints on the screen). I deduced that it was scratched from daily use. So all in all, my question is that is it possible the overheating could have made the front glass panel more suspectable to scratching?

This is very interesting. The same thing happened to me as far as the overheating, i had left the phone in my shoe while playing soccer and was unable to use it only after it had cooled off! I do not see any scratches anywhere on my screen, could just be a freak occurrence or something wrong with the phone. Even in a technologically advanced world that we live in it is possible to make a product that isn't always 100% perfect. Although Apple does do a good job about 99.9% of the time!

IPhone scratch help needed...

So, it's only 2 days after I bought my iPhone and somehow there is a little scratch on the screen (I'd say about 4 centimeters...but still very annoying). It isn't extremely deep but I can feel it when I rub my fingernail over it. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it or am I pretty much screwed? I am in shock after seeing keys taken to the iPhone and even a razor blade and no scratches visible...I honestly have no idea what I could have done! I don't think it was purchased like that because I would have noticed I think.
Thanks for any help!

IPhone scratch repair

I have a few minor scratches on the front and back of my iPhone 4S (white). No gouges, and nothing very deep. I'm looking for recommendations on which, if any, scratch remover products really do the trick. As well as which products you'd avoid. Thanks.

Alas it is very difficult to polish out scratches from glass - it is just too hard.
About the only compound you might use is Cerium Oxide - look it up in Wikipedia. It is sometimes available for polishing light scratches from auto windscreens.
However any attempt to polish an iPhone 4 glass might remove the oleophobic layer.

Can i fix an iphone scratched?

idont know how but i took my iphones's case off and bad the back of the phone is all scratched :'(
can i replace it, or is there some way to fix it?

I recommend going to the apple store and meeting with a "genius" at the genius bar. You can make a reservation here: http://concierge.apple.com/reservation/us/en/techsupport/

I can't think of this app name

I seen this free app on my friends iPod touch about a year ago, and I can't remember what it's called for the life of me. It was a stick figure guy and you had to guide him with your finger from falling down onto the pencils at the bottom. Any ideas? And also, what is the best and easiest screen protector? I bought the "Invisible Shield" by ZAGG. It says at the bottom, "Millions Sold" and I'm guessing, "Millions Returned."

Completely disagree. I have seen people's iPod touch and iPhones scratched.
I use a mirrored screen protector from Proporta. I love it.
It also makes using the touch screen easier for me - I like the feel of scrolling, etc. better with it.
To each his/her own. But I'd not tell people to not get protection. It does help.

IPhone 4s screen can't be scratched

I've got an iPhone 4s like 6 months ago. I protect my screen with a screen protector, but my friends told me that iPhone's screen can't be scratched, its this true?

Of course it's not true. It's made of glass. No matter how hard the glass is, it can be scratched.
As a practical matter, I never use screen protectors and I've had iPhones since the original in '07. I've never had scratches on the screen.

Can I return my iphone 5 if I am not happy at how easily it scratches?

I have only had my iphone 5 for a couple of weeks and I have already noticed scuffs and ***** out of the side and back. I protect my phone with a cover but (And I kid you not) if the little grains of dirt that still somehow get underneath, are scratching the back. This combined with the fact that most apps and movies do not make use of the full siz of the phone, has made me very unhappy. I REALLY want to return my iphone, even if its just to have it replaced. Is this possible? Surely under the warranty I am within my rights to expect a certain level of quality!?

You have several things going on here. If you bought the iPhone from Apple here is a link to Apple's return policy in the US, I have no idea where you are so this policy may be different if your not in the US. http://store.apple.com/us/help/returns_refund
If you bought the iPhone from an authorized dealer check their return policy to see if it applies to your couple of weeks of ownership in order to see if it qualifies.
The warranty applies to manufacture defects, it is not insurance. Read here for more information about the iPhone warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/iphone.pdf
Lastly, most apps haven't been update to fit the bigger screen on the iPhone 5. This will take some time, at least the apps still work. Hope that helps.

I have two apple id's one from my old laptop and one from my iPhone. I saved my iTunes library to my external hard drive and then tried to transfer it to my iMac. My music skips like a scratched cd now and I can't add any to my iPhone. Help please!

I have two apple id's one from my old laptop and one from my iPhone. I saved my iTunes library to my external hard drive right before my old mac laptop died and then tried to transfer it to my new iMac. Now when I try to play my old music it skips like a scratched cd. Also, now I can't add any music to my iPhone unless it was purchased recently through itunes and downloaded through icloud. I tried to "Organize" my library in hopes of correcting the problem but my iMac just ejects my external harddrive part way through. Please help!

Ejects the harddrive?
Of what did your old Mac die?
It sounds to me like you have some file corruption somewhere. Either in the transfer of your library to the external or the external itself is flaky if it keeps ejecting.

Can i exchange my iphone 4 for a new iphone 4 ... my old one has some scratches on the side and i would be willing to pay extra for the phone as long as the plan stays

my iphone which i got last summer has some scratches on the side (but no damages internally) and i was wondering if i could buy a newer iphone 4 by paying a little extra?

Apple does not offer an exchange program.
Physical damage (scratches) are not covered under the warranty.
If you desire a blemish free iPhone, buy a new one at full price then sell your current one to recoup some of the costs.

Is there a way to remove (or hide) scratches in my iPhone 5?

Hi, everybody!
Is there a way or product to remove (or hide) scratches in the back/sides of my black iPhone 5? Although I protect it with covers, it's more and more scratched...

I don't text that much and most of the people I do text with have iPhones and iMessage. I refuse to pay for unlimited texting, which is the only plan available. I just tell people to text through Facebook, etc. if they do not have an iPhone. Thanks for the replies.

Hi, iTunes is no longer syncing my iPhoto library to my iPhone 4. Everything was syncing fine when I first got the phone, but, over the past week or so, it's stopped syncing photos. Now, after attempting to start from scratch by deleting all the photos

Hi,
iTunes is no longer syncing my iPhoto library to my iPhone 4. Everything was syncing fine when I first got the phone, but, over the past week or so, it's stopped syncing photos.
Now, after attempting to start from scratch by deleting all the photos on my iPhone, iTunes won't sync ANY photos from iPhoto back to my iPhone. I've restarted my phone, computer, etc., force quit all photo-related apps on my iPhone, and tried various combinations of turning iTunes' photo syncing on/off, switching photo sync folders, etc., all to no avail -- I can't get my iPhoto library back on to my iPhone no matter what I do.
Anyone encounter a similar situation? (I've already sent feedback to Apple.) Thanks in advance.

Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

Sent my iPhone 5 in for the sleep button replacement but it has been denied due to scratches??

As the title suggests, i have sent my phone in for the Sleep wake button replacement program that has been offered by Apple. But after sending my phone in to Machines (Because I'm in Malaysia), they have notified me that Apple themselves have denied my phone for the replacement program due to the scratches i have on my phone. I am utterly dissapointed by the way Apple is handling this situation. Has the Scratches to do with anything with the sleep button? And it has come to my attention that the page on the Apple website containing the details about the program has said nothing about scratches making the iPhone 5 ineligible for this program and i dare say that my phone is in perfect working order.

Here are the specifics for the button replacement program in the US: https://ssl.apple.com/support/iphone5-sleepwakebutton/
You need to check the Apple website for your country, and it is imperative that you read every word.

On my iphone 4s I got a scratch on it,then about a month later there are verticle lines and a high pitch noise til it is done focusing. What's wrong with my phone?

Hello
Okay so I have had my Iphone for almost an entire year and there's a problem. I have gotten a scratch a scratch about a month ago on the back camera. It's at the very bottom. I've gotten used to it so it doesn't bother me. Well ever since like a week ago my camera gets colorful lines that are verticle and go away when it's focused. Not to mention the high pitch noise while it focuses with the lines. I'm getting irritated with it. Mainly what's is wrong with my phone?! Also how much is the cost?

Since we can't examine your phone, we really have no idea what is wrong. Why don't you make an appointment at your local Genius Bar and get the phone examined and what your options are moving forward.

Hello apple users i've bough iphone 5 about 2 weeks ago . And when i put case on it and put it out it left small scratch on top of my phone is it possible to get fixed my phone becuz i'm so disappointed ...

Hello apple users. I wanna ask about the service of apple . I've bought new iphone 5 and when i tried some case on it one of them left small scratch on top of my phone and it looks terrible i'm bit disappointed on it . Is there any possibility to get my phone fixed?

I suggest that you ignore the scratches.
It will get many more over time, as does anything that you use regularly.

Iphone 6 plus screen scratch without dropping the phone

Purchased my iPhone in November and a good case for it minus the screen guard. After 2 months of use, there is a thin line which cannot be felt from the top till middle of screen. Taken it to an authorized service center but received a denial stating that it is a physical damage and this is not covered under warranty.
I am sure many others would be facing a similar issue but would like to know if there is any solution to this issue like a replacement. Cost mentioned to me for a screen replacement is Rs.26500/-.

Yes glass can be scratched. Yes scratched screens are not covered under warranty. Incase you are not clear what the service centre told you about your options you can ether replace the screen, buy a new phone, or keep the phone as is.

IPhone 6 plus screen scratch for no reason

Seriously, I have took really good care of my iPhone 6 plus and have a cover on it. Without any droping, pumping and hurt, the screen scratched And being worse. The most strangest thing is that evey day the flaw becomes more when I weak up in the morning. How can a screem be so fragile. I even did not touch it ! It drives me crazy! Can I go the store to a new one without paying ?

They probably will not replace the phone. Scratching the screen is not covered by the warranty. But they might be able to tell you where these scratches come from if you show them your device and the accessory you use with it, like the case for example.
