IPhone 5 Factory Unlocked 3rd Party Replacement from Apple

Hi,
I bought an iPhone 5 from Rogers Factory unlocked to make it work with all carriers from a third party vendor. Now I have an issue with a power button, if I retun it to apple will they give me a replacement phone as a Rogers unit or a Factory unlocked unit. Please let me know because this unlock costed me $150 I don't want to unlock another iPhone if apple give me a replaceent as a Rogers phone.
Thanks, looking forward to your replies

If the power button issue is a hardware issue, the only option from Apple is to replace it.  Apple does not perform hardware repairs to any iOS device (never has done so) - they replace defective devices instead (and send the turned in one back to Foxconn in China for refurbishment or recycling).
Apple's strict policy is also to replace a defective iPhone with an exact duplicate one - so if your phone was purchased locked to Rogers, and you did NOT get it unlocked by Rogers, then you will get a Rogers locked iPhone in exchange.
There is no such thing as a legitimate 3rd party unlocking - only the carrier an iPhone is sold locked to has the authority to officially unlock it.  Anybody else offering "unlocking" services is hacking the firmware, and such activity is not recognized by Apple when replacing defective phones.

  • If I purchase an Iphone 5s factory unlocked in the US from the Apple store and bring it to India, will I be able to purchase a global warranty? If not then will i be able to get the phone serviced here in India from the authorised dealer/agent in India?

    No, as there is no such thing for an iPhone.

    Nope. You'll only be able to get the phone serviced in the US...no one will touch it in India.

    Anything is possible, but this almost never happens to officially unlocked iPhones. I suspect your phone is in fact NOT officially unlocked.

  • Hi, I recently got myself an apple iphone 5s (factory unlocked) phone from the US. However on using the same in India with Vodafone, i am facing a problem where the connectivity keeps switching to EDGE most of the time. Any solutions??

    Hi,
    I recently got myself an apple iphone 5s (factory unlocked) phone from the US. However on using the same in India with Vodafone, i am facing a problem where the connectivity keeps switching to EDGE most of the time. I have a 3G plan but most of the time it switches automatically to EDGE. Thats when i have to either switch Airplane mode - On/Off and then it acts normal. Any permanant solutions to fix this problem?

    Return the iPhone personally or via friend/relative/co-worker who is in
    the US. The warranty is valid only in the country of original purchase - the USA
    in this case. Apple will not accept international shipments for evaluation nor
    will Apple ship out of the country after repair/replacement.
    How did the iPhone from the US get to you in India? Reverse that process to
    get it back to the US so someone can take it into Apple.

  • Query: Selective Transferring of old data (3rd party app) from old iPhone

    Hello all.
    I am collecting my new iPhone 3GS tomorrow
    (and) I want only to add some, and not all the 3rd party apps (from App Store) that was with my old iPhone, in particular, Notes+
    I know if before I perform a software restore or upgrade, iTunes will perform a back up of the phone, and if I insert a new iPhone, and choose the same name, e.g. "howwow iPhone", it will restore all the apps and data into the new phone.
    But if I treat this new 3GS phone as a new phone, e.g. I name it "My 3GS iPhone" and add the Notes+ app, will all the data inside be copied into the new phone?
    My main 2 aims are to only add some apps I need (like Notes+) to the new phone and still able to keep the data/notes in it, without re-adding manually.
    Thanks and cheers

    There is no way to selectively restore certain data from the backup to the new iPhone - it's all or none. If you set it up as a new phone, none of the old data will be transferred. Alternatively, you could set it up from the backup, then delete all of the unwanted stuff.

  • Will there be a iPhone 5s Factory unlocked?

    Hi,
    Will there be a iphone 5s factory unlocked phone?
    I go over to the iphone 5s page and scroll down to find that it says Contract free T-Mobile,
    Does that mean it will work with att? I dont want to get the phone from att becuase i dont want a contract at the moemet, and i will be traveling out of the U.S this december for a month and i would like to use my iphone 5s there with service,
    I talked to a apple rep right before this and he said it will only work with T - Mobile because it says the sim is already installed,
    And i asked him if i can use it for att, and he said no because the iphone 5s doesnt have a simcard slot that you can take out like with the iphone 5
    which doesnt make sense because tmobile and att both run on sims.
    Thank you very much in an advance!

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong (hopefully with some factual information via a weblink), but there is currently NO Factory Unlocked iPhone 5S for sale in the United States. Factory Unlocked (aka. "Sim-Free") is only offered for the 4S and 5C.
    All customers can purchase an iPhone 5S from Apple or respective carrier for the full retail price ($650+) and those devices will be internationally unlocked but locked to the carrier you pick.
    In my case, I purchased an AT&T iPhone 5C at full retail price. I did not sign a new contract, pay an upgrade fee, etc. My phone, when plugged into iTunes tells me it's Unlocked. Again, I don't have a T-Mobile Nano-Sim to test if it's fully unlocked (domestic & international) but it's safe to assume I will only be able to use my 5C in the USA with AT&T.
    Does this mean that the phone can never be fully unlocked? Probably not - I imagine all carriers and 3rd parties will be able to unlock the device (per-carrier terms, etc.).
    Hope this clears up any confusion.
    *Contract-Free T-Mobile is not fully unlocked either. T-Mobile no longer has contracts so Apple cannot present the T-Mobile version in the same space as the other carriers on their website. T-Mobile, like the other carriers, likely have the ability/option to fully unlock your device upon request (per-their carrier terms).

  • I had to get my hard drive replaced from Apple, I lost all of my music obviously.  My question is, how can I get all my music off of my iPhone onto iTunes?  Since it's a new hard drive, the iPhone isn't recognizing this as it's home computer.

    You will need to use third-party software to transfer music from your phone to the iTunes Library. I recommend Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac | Macroplant.com.

  • I got factory unlocked iphone5s A1530 model from india with warranty... Now i shifting to rgina canada so will this phone work in canada with canadian sim card...with canadian operators

    I got factory unlocked iphone5s A1530 model from india with warranty... Now i shifting to regina canada so will this phone work in canada with canadian sim card...with Canadian operators permanently...

    Remember though, that although you have warranty on this phone, it is only valid in India and NOT Canada, because you purchased the phone in India and iPhone warranty is country specific, so if you have problems with the phone, then you'll need to take it back to India to get it fixed.
    If you will be in Canada for any length of time, then buy a new phone in Canada.  It will be guaranteed to work then and you will also have warranty cover.
