IPhone hardware problems

I have a friend that is a carpenter and when he went to verison to purchase a smart phone they told him not to get a iPhone as it would not hold up to rough use. is this true? they talked him into another smart phoneIPhnoe

My friend has a case for his and he can throw it across the street and into a pool and it will hold up. Even though it was in a case, having the conveniance of an iphone with a almost indestructable case how can you go wrong with that. Also ive seen many iphone with cracked screens that still operate and android touchscreens just stop working.

  • Original iPhone hardware problem

    hi,
    I have a problem with my touch screen - it doesn't respond to my finger taps in a specific row (4,5,6 in the dialer). It will also not respond to this row in any other application.
    I believe this is a hardware problem since I tried a few times to hard reset it and it didn't help.
    I am now currently in Bangkok, where can I go to in order to have it checked?
    Is the local apple store certified to fix or replace it?

    You will need to take it to the country of origin to get help if you did not buy it in Thailand.

  • My iphone 5s vibrates so loudly but my friend's iphone 5s vibrates just fine. can anyone tell me if it is any hardware problem?

    i have bought an iphone 5s few days ago and i noticed that vibration of my iphone is different from other iphones. my iphone's vibration is so loud and noisy it is kind of rattly noise whenever i recieve a call or a text message, So i checked one of my friend's iphone 5s and it vibrates just fine. can anyone tell me why is it so? is it a hardware problem or what?

    Do you have the same vibrate settings as your friend?
    You can check this by going to Settings > Sounds > Text Tone

  • For the second time (I've been to the Genius Bar once already) my WiFi isn't working on my iPhone 4S. This is really infuriating and costly!!! I see others have the same issues.  Can't Apple do anything about this?  It's obviously a hardware problem!

    For the second time (I've been to the Genius Bar already once with this) my Wifi isn't working.  They gave me a new iphone last time, but the new one has the same issue as the old one, I'm guessing.  I've tried resetting the network but that doesn't work.
    I see others have this issue too.
    If this is a hardware problem why doesn't Apple fix it?  Or do I just have to wait another year for another upgrade?
    Currently it's not costing me anything - yet - because I've got the Apple Warranty but this is totally frustating!!! I bought the original phone (which has been replaced in July 2012.  The new phone (without working Wifi) is a month old.
    Will try Restore via ITunes before (I will invariably) have to return to the Genius Bar for another Iphone 4S unless someone has an ingenius solution here?..?

    For what reason, other than making yourself look foolish, would you ask questions that we users could not possibly answer as we're NOT Apple?
    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.  Nothing more "ingenius" to suggest than these steps that Apple has outlined in the manual.  If these steps don't work, then go back to the Apple store.

  • My iPhone 5 dies at 20-24% it doesn't go all the way to 0%. Will apple replace my phone or fix my phone for free since its hardware problem and I have no money. This is my second iphone 5 replacement.

    My iPhone 5 dies at 20-24% it doesn't go all the way to 0%. Will apple replace my phone or fix my phone for free since its hardware problem and I have no money. This is my second iphone 5 replacement. I have no apple care so I'm worried. My phone has NEVER touched water! I only get 1/5 of battery use. I've also spent 30$ at the apple store on screen protectors for nothing! I really don't have 220$ nor 50$ I am on a strict budget. I believe I have to pay 220 not 50 ford a phone replacement for accidental damage. I don't know what category this falls under. I really need a new phone or battery. HELP! Will I have to pay? Also my screen lighting is all topsy-tervy every I put my screen on highest it won't work I have to wait about a minute? Forgot to mention that my apps exit out by themselves all the time when Im using them.

    So, have you tried a reset?  Restore from backup? Restore as new?  You seem to have a few problems but do not mention any action taken to resolve them.  What have screen protectors to do with anything?

  • I need to replace my iPhone 4S due to a hardware problem. Will I be offered to upgrade to iPhone 5 for an extra fee?

    Hey everyone. I have an iPhone 4S that needs replacing due to obvious hardware issues (shuts down randomly on its own). I have shown the panic.plist reports that it generates on another forum and they have confirmed the kernel and hardware problem.
    Since replacing it is the only way to go for me, I was wondering whether Apple still offers the option to upgrade to the next model when going to replace a phone with warranty. What I mean is, if I go to an Apple Store and ask to replace my handset for a new one (with my warranty/receipt) will I be offered to upgrade to an iPhone 5 for an additional fee? Can I ask for this option?
    Thanks!

  • I had bought iphone 4 from singapore and now i am relocated to india.....there is some hardware problem in the phone due to which i m nt able to use it.....how do i give the phone for repair and in which country?

    i had bought iphone 4 from singapore and now i am relocated to india.....there is some hardware problem in the phone due to which i m nt able to use it.....how do i give the phone for repair and in which country?

    The warranty is not international and only available in the Country of purchase .If the iPhone is out of warranty  Apple or their Agents will also only give service in the country of original purchase.
    So if you want Apple help you will have to return it to Singapore or find a 3rd party to repair it if they can in India  as long as it is out of warranty and you understand that Apple would never help with that device in future if it has been opened by a 3rd party

  • I have an iphone 4 n it is getting switched off automatically n switches on automatically , also it increases d volume by itself. Can anyone help me find out if its a hardware problem???

    I have an iphone 4 n it is getting switched off automatically n switches on automatically , also it increases d volume by itself. Its a 1year old phone n the version is 4.3.2(8H7). Also the volume sign does not go off from the screen. Can anyone help me find out if its a hardware problem???

    Do you have a case on your iPhone? It could be pressing the buttons on the iPhone and causing it to restart or behave unusually.
    This Apple doc will help you find out if there is a hardware or software problem -> iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    You can always contact Apple and setup service through Express Lane.

  • I hope my iPhone 4 is facing some Technical Hardware Problem

    I hope my iPhone 4 is facing some Technical Hardware Problem, My Phone is Singapore Purchase, i am in India, how to resolve the issue, Please help.

    iPhone warranty is not international.  If you need service, it needs to returned to Apple in the country of purchase.  If you have a friend in Singapore, you can send it to them and they can take to Apple for you.  Apple does not accept international shipments for service, nor will they return them via international shipping.

  • Is black screen for iPhone hardware or software problem

    Is black screen for iPhone hardware or software problem.

    Don't know until you troubleshoot. First step is a reset:
    hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Is an USA iPhone covered for hardware problems in Europe?

    I was wondering if my hardware problems are covered in Europe.. I bought an iPhone in the USA in november 2012 and now my sleep/wake button is broken. I went to the Apple Store in the Netherlands, Europe, and they told me it isn't able to fix it or for me to get it replaced, because I have an American iPhone. Does anyone know if that's correct, because I seriously doubt it!

    It is correct. The iPhone warranty is not international. You will only get it replaced/serviced in the US, since that is where you bought it.

  • Hi, Im charan . I recently purchased iPhone 5 in Kuwait. And I live in India so I'm now in India. I'm facing some hardware problem in iPhone 5 Can I place it in INDIAN iStore for Warranty and they do it in warranty basis??

    Hi, Im charan . I recently purchased iPhone 5 in Kuwait. And I live in India so I'm now in India. I'm facing some hardware problem in iPhone 5 Can I place it in INDIAN iStore for Warranty and they do it in warranty basis??

    No, the warranty is not international and so will not be valid in India. You will have to take the iPhone back to Kuwait or send it to someone you know there who could take or send it for service and then ship it back to you. If you cannot do that, you will have to find an unauthorized repair shop in India and pay them to repair your iPhone, something which will void all future support from Apple.
