IPhone Cable Cracked

I noticed today that my iPhone cable has cracked right behind the connector that goes to the USB piece. The cable still works but I was wondering would this be covered under the warranty? Would I be able to go to an Apple Store to get a replacement or get one from the Apple site if it was covered under warranty?
Would there be any third party alternatives?

I've had my iPhone 3G since September 2008.
Thanks for the help.

If I bought the phone at a Best Buy store would I be able to go to an Apple Store to get it replaced? Would it be necessary to set up an appointment with a Genius or would this be something that could be taken care of on a walk in basis?
Thanks.

I dropped my iPhone 4 & cracked its screen. Apple wants me to pay for replacement unit (I agree), turn in my old phone (??) & wait for 6 days (no problem). What do I do to access emails, Internet & make/receive calls during these 6 days?

I dropped my iPhone 4 & cracked its screen. I went to the service center to get it repaired. SInce it is not under warranty, i was willing to pay for repair charges.
They told me that the screen can not be repaired or changed, but they can replace my damaged set with an equivalent set, on payment of RM 760, roughly, 25-30% cost of a new one. I agreed.
They told me to:
1/ pay upfront
2/ leave my old set with them
3/ and the replacement unit will be delivered in 4-6 days.
I agreed on 1& 3 but not to leave my damaged set with them because it is still working and I don't have another spare phone with me, to serve me the 4-6 day waiting period.
THe service center guy told me that if I want a replacement, I have to agree to all 3 conditions and that I should buy another phone for 6 days. I told him that I constantly need email & Internet access, as part of my work responsibilities, so I can not do with a simple phone. It obviously, doesn't make sense to buy an expensive smart phone, go thru the trouble of transferring my data & mails & contacts - just for a week.
Unfortunately, all these logics fell on deaf ears & the service centre guy kept insisting on ALL of the above conditions.
I came back so flustered & upset.
I thought customer service was about solving problems & not creating hurdles for customers.
what should I do?
ANy advice?

What would you do for transportation if you drove your car into a tree and had to wait while it was fixed? You'd need to rent, borrow or buy another car, no? The same applies to your phone. This is not Apple's problem; if the service center does not have replacements in stock for immediate swap-out, then it's up to you to provide a backup device or do without.
If you're in a country where Apple provides direct service for iPhones, you may be able to call Apple support and arrange for advance replacement, where they send you the replacement phone and then you send back the old one. Apple offers such service in several countries, though you have to pay an extra fee for the service. If not, then you'll just have to wait for the service center to get in the replacement, and will have to arrange an alternative to use during that time.
Regars.

IPhone Cable....(dangerous?)

Is anyone else having this problem with their iPhone cable?
The wires are starting to show on mine and I don't really move my syncing port that much, only when I travel, I roll up the cable.
Is this dangerous?

Hey,
You can request repair or replacement of iPhone accessories online here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do
You can also make a reservation to have a Genius at a local Apple retail store take a look at it or call AppleCare.

Yes, I believe all the iPhone/Touch/iPod cables are the same.

Who put a screen on it?
I would say the warranty is void.

Why wont my laptop acknowledge my iphone cable?

Why wont my laptop acknowledge my iPhone cable? i have a Medion laptop (so no not a mac etc) but i recently broke the screen on my iPhone 5S and subsequently i cannot back the iPhone up to my laptop as when plugged in to 1 of three various USB ports it does not acknowledge the cable.
thanks.

thanks!
i did try it before when the iphone was usable and it still did not work, ive just tried it with my ipad and ive tried various cables but still no result. im thinking it will be something to do more with my laptop itself, maybe something to do with its setting, is there any ways around this?
thanks! :-D

HT4327 can you sync stuff to an ipad using an iphone cable?

Itunes sync is saying the apps failed to install and its loads of them

The iPhone cable does not matter. It is universal. The problem would be directly from the iPad software and the iTunes software. Shut down both the iTunes software and the iPad software by fully shutting down the iPad and iTunes. Then restart both and initiate your sync again.

IPhone 4S cracked. Would apple replace?

My iPhone 4S cracked while in my pocket. I did not bump into anything hard to where I even thought to check, but there is a crack across the screen. Would apple replace it? I bought the iPhone less than 6 months ago

Apple will replace the entire iPhone for a flat fee. If you do not have AppleCare+ on your iPhone, see the Service Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
If you have AppleCare+ coverage, the cost will be less; in the US it's $49.

Laptop shut down and won't start up after using a Gecko iPhone cable?

I plugged in a gecko iphone cable to a usb port on my MacBook Pro and now it won't start up?

Hello esterke,
As I understand it you are not able to turn your phone on, and the power button doesn't work so you cannot turn it on that way. You may be able to get it back on by putting it into Recovery Mode, which only requires the USB connection and a working Home button.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If not your phone may need service:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling
