IPhone 5 launch day line
Hi, I was planning on waiting in line on launch day for the iphone5. First of all I am not 18 yet. Yes I am aware that I cant purchase the phone at this age. I was wondering if I would be allowed to wait and get the small card basically reserving my phone in the store and then having my parent meet me in line an hour or so before doors open so that they can pay. My question is will they give me one of the small cards if I do not have an adult with me at that time?
Call and ask the store.

Launch Day: getting an iPhone 4 by walk-in
Just wondering if anyone out there has experienced iPhone launch days in the past. I missed out on the pre-order, I was trying all day and could never get through until they bumped the delivery date to July 2. Now me and my friend are planning on waiting in line the morning of Launch day as my local Apple store told me there would be iPhones available for walk-in customers. Any input from people who have done this would be very welcome. Thanks

As of now, all of the iPhones that were to be shipped out to stores and homes are sold out just from pre-orders. If you are going to walk-in buy, you better get there EARLY and hope that someone who pre-ordered there's didn't show up. Because, everybody, they don't let people from both lines go in at the same time. They go through the pre-order line first and then, if there's any left, they go through the walk-in line.
Your answer completely contradicts what the apple store employee told me. She told me there will be iPhone 4s available for walk-in customers as soon as the store opens and that it would not be contigent on pre-order customers not claiming theirs. Also, Walmart didn't even sell pre-orders, yet there are numerous press releases saying they'll be selling the iPhone 4 on launch day. So I imagine you saying that all iPhones have been "sold out just from pre-orders" just an assumption, which we all know what happens when you assume. -
Hello,
I participated in the new iPhones launch day sept 19 2014 at one of your store. I arrived at 4:20 am and got a great spot in line with my fiancé. We planned on trading in two old iPhone 4 8gb unfortunatly we left our phones at home on the dresser. Before the store opened the managers and reps came out to gather all of our information. While that was going on I was talking with a manager and informed him that we left our trade in phones at home. I asked if I can leave my spot in line (while my fiancé waits there) and go retrieve them I live 15 min from the store and had my paper with my number on it. I was told Not to leave my spot. So I asked if I could pay for the phones and leave them in the store so It isn't a completed transaction so I can go get the old phones for the store credit. He said that's not nessary as long as I bring them in I can get the $200 dollars off of my credit card Instead of a gift card. I go back on sept 20 ( less than 30 hrs later) and I tell the rep waiting on me that the manager said it can come off my credit card and the rep said no problem. The rep calls the same manager over to find out how to do it and he says it can't be done. I remind him that he said I could and he gives me attitude. I was being perfectly polite to him and he gives me attitude. So He says I can either apply it to my account which i split with my family or take gift cards. I took the gift cards being that was the only option. I am fed up of customer service in America and can't understand how people with attitude problems receive manager positions.Thats not the point. A little communication to people standing in line would have sufficed. Yes I was aware they were in short supply. I would have been ok if I would have found out they were sold out while standing in line. Everyone had sheets with the phone they wanted, not a lot of effort could have been taken. But to wait an hour after finally getting IN the store and after my number has been called to find out they are sold out is lame. And then for a manager to argue with me after that is pretty unprofessional.

So, if I am not getting my iPhone on launch day.... When am I getting it?
So, its clear to me that I am not going to be one of the lucky few that gets a new iPhone 4 on the promised launch day of June 24. After spending 16 hours on the internet on Tuesday to repeatedly get error messages from Apple and ATT, I went into a BB near my work and preordered my unit early Wednesday morning. I went back today and double checked my number in the line and I am the last preorder they took at around 100. No chance of June 24 for me. So, what I would like to know is this: When will the next batch(es) of iPhones arrive to Best Buy stores from Apple... ANYBODY?!
Actually -- I was told by the Mobile Center Manager and the Store Manager of this location, that I "The number of units they receive will almost assuredly not be enough to fufill all of their preorders on launch day. That many people, especially those lower on the list would have to wait for the second wave to arrive."
I am not the only one that has heard this -- Its even implied in the BB iPhone 4 Pre Order FAQS -- That those pre orders exceeding the actual number of units received on launch, will not receive their unit until the second wave has shipped to the stores. -
will i be able to by a unlocked iphone 5s from the san francisco store on launch day? or if i order online on launch day how long does it take to be delivered?

Maybe. It all depends on how many people are in line ahead of you.
or if i order online on launch day how long does it take to be delivered?
When you go to order online, it wil tell you the expected delivery date.
We are all just your fellow users. Just like you, all we can do is make a good guess.
Best of luck. -
I was not able to pre-order the new iPhone neither am I able to wait in line to get one on Launch day. One of my family members is going to try and get me one though. She will be arriving at the store around 7:00-7:30 am and Best Buy opens at 10:00 am. Do you think she has a decent chance and obtaining one of the iPhones?

Let's put it this way. If there are extra phones, do you think they'll ship them to Best Buy or to an Apple Store? More profit at the Apple Store, so I'm guessing if you want to stand in line, go to the Apple Store. My experience with waiting in line for new iPhone launches without a reservation is not good. Not good at all. -
Switch iPhone colors on iPhone had since launch day?
My iPhone 5 arrived on launch day, and have had non stop problems with it since then.
I live in the UK where there are far and few between Apple stores. Over the weekend we are going out our way to Christmas shop at a mall with an Apple store.
I'm going to get my iPhone replaced because of it's many hardware issues, but I was wondering if they would replace my iPhone 5 (black) for a white one?
My iPhone arrived with a few small scratches and putting a case on it caused a few more, although they are small they are very noticeable because they are white scratches on a black iPhone, do you think they will switch for a white one?
Kind Regards,
NathanNo. In order to get a different color, you would have to return the one you have for a refund and purchase a different one. If you've had it since launch day, you're well outside the return window.

Has anyone had any experiece with iPhone launches at Verizon in the past (in store)? Somehow my preorder got canncelled, so I have to wait in line to get one before October. How early did you get there? What did they have for supply? Any input would be appreciated!
Get in line early. 16 gigs will be the first to sell out, 64 gigs will be the last.

I bought my iPhone 4 open line in Vancouver, Canada last week for use here in my home base in Bangkok, Thailand. But when I tried using my Thai sim, I get a very weak signal, if not a weak signal, then a no service status. I also have very weak wifi reception. What do I do?
I already tried the following:
a. Turned the phone off and then on.
b. Checked all wifi connections – no problem given that all our laptops and desktops can connect seamlessly.
c. I tried restoring the phone to original factory settings via itunes
d. Tried resetting the phone.
e. Tried different microsims from all networks
f. However, all methods failed given that the network reception is very weak and often reflects – “no service”. And with regards to the wifi reception It has difficulty in reading even the signal right in front of the wifi router.
I went to two Apple resellers here in Bangkok and requested that they please look at my Iphone and have it serviced. I was frustrated when they said that given that I bought my phone in Canada, they are not able to support me and should instead try to contact the Apple store in Canada.
I went to apple.ca website and went to the expresslane support and I was said to register and callback. Tried calling the 1800 number but given that I was in Thailand I had difficulty getting a connection.1st sentence, 4th page of the iPhone warranty found here:
Apple may restrict service to the country where Apple or its
Authorized Distributors originally sold the hardware product.
From the Repair terms and conditions found here:
9. Availability of Service.
Apple may restrict service to the country where Apple or its authorized distributors originally sold the
hardware product, and to the countries listed in the table below. A list of authorized distributors is
available online at:

If you do not believe that, then see these search results which confirm my statement. -
I have manually back up my iphone few days back, and my contact got missing the next day. i restored my back up from iTunes, however, my contact did not get restored. How do i check if the manual back up did actually back up my contact or not? How do i get back my old contact in my phone?
Your entire second paragraph is so confusing I am going to ignore it.
But I may be able to answer your first and third paragraphs, which seem to address the same question.
I wonder where your iPhone states it was backed up yesterday. I am going to assume that you see this under Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
If that is true, then the backup from yesterday is in iCloud. The one and only way to restore an iCloud backup is to do this on your iPhone:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
That will cause your iPhone to begin a setup process. As part of that process, assuming you enter the same Apple ID you used when you created the iCloud backup, you will be offered the opportunity to restore from it. -

This is very depressing, Photocasting has stopped working. Whenever I try to add pictures iPhoto crashes. The only way to make it work is un publish, make a new album, drag the pictures in the new album and then republish.
