Is the oleophobic screen on the iphone covered on warranty?

keep it short and simple
i have an iphone 4
the oleophobic coating has pretty much rubbed off and no longer provides any smudge protection
scheduled a genius bar appointment tomorow
will they replace it do anything about it? or is it a lost cause

I'm actually wondering the same thing, as mine seems to have reacted with something and has resulted in my screen being covered in weird dots that won't rub off. Let me know what they say tomorrow atyour appointment, I'm very curious and am thinking of taking mine in this week too.

  • HT1688 does the insurance we buy when getting the iphone covers broken screen?

    Just broke my screen... Need to know if the insurance we buy when getting the iphone covers broken screen? If not what are my possibilities and cost to have phone fixed or replaced asap?

    Apple doesn't sell "insurance". If you purchased AppleCare+ with your phone, it's covered (up to 2 incidents) with a $49 deductible.
    If you purchased insurance, you need to ask the insurance company.

  • Is the camera covered under warranty?

    My rear camera stopped working. I only get a black screen. Is this covered under the 1 yr warranty?

    Yes, if it is determined to be a manufacturing defect. Take it to the Apple Store for evaluation.

  • Is the charger covered by warranty?

    My charger stopped working yesterday for no apparent reason. Is the charger covered by the warranty? And how would I go about getting a replacement charger?
    Thanks for your help

    Hi!
    Normally the charger is covered by warranty when your notebook has warranty.
    Contact an ASP (authorized service provider) to get a new one.
    Here you can search:

  • I just cracked my ipad screen.  is that covered under warranty

    I just cracked up ipad screen.  Is that covered under the warranty?

    Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
    The warranty will apply to the country of purchase. And if there is a problem needing repair you have to return it to the country of purchase.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th, Air
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad
    Make a Genius Bar Reservation
    http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
    You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.

  • My laptop screen broke. is this covered by warranty or is it fixable?

    yea basically what it said in the first bit

    Call Apple or take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Reseller.  How old is the machine?  If purchased within the last year, you have warranty (even longer in some other countries such as Italy I believe).  Did you purchase Apple Care within the first year of ownership?  You can check your warranty coverag on the Apple Support webpage.

  • How much does it cost to fix a cracked screen on an iphone 5 without warranty?

  • How much do i have to pay if i want to upgrade my iphone 4s for the iphone 6 plus

    how much do i have to pay for upgrade an iphone 4s to the iphone 6 plus?
    how much do i have to pay for exchange a broken iphone 5s for a new one?

    some retailers buy your phone and help u to put credit towards new iphone. if your iphone has accidental damage it will cost you 299 CAD dollars, if the only screen is broken it will cost 119 dollars. if the iphone is under warranty. i suggest you to replace the display first then. wait for the iphone to give you issues so that geniuses replace the iphonr for free

  • Is it possible to change a new one if the Iphone 5 wake button is not working?

      I heard the iphone 5 wake up button has a disign defect. Will they give me a free repairing even my iphone is over warranty?

    Heard from who?  Unless it was Apple, assume they are full of manure.
    There are no design issues with the iPhone 5.
    Warranty is one year from date of purchase, beyond that, hardware issues are handled via an Out of Warranty replacement which is $269US.

  • Apart from the lock button problem in iphone 5 the display brightness suddenly goes blank and becomes normal after locking and unlocking the iphone. The Apple service centre in India is denying to service the iphone as it was purchase in USA even thoug it

    Apart from the lock button problem in iphone 5 the display brightness suddenly goes blank and becomes normal after locking and unlocking the iphone. The Apple service centre in India is denying to service the iphone as it was purchase in USA even though the iphone is in warranty.

    iPhones do not have an international warranty.  Warranty is valid only for the country of purchase.  This is most likely because different countries require different iPhone models.  Not reasonable to expect all countries to maintain stock for all models.

  • TS3694 i have just formatted my iphone without having any backup, when i try to restore it using itunes the process starts but at the end it gives error 1015, i think its because i don't have any backup files, the iphone is not running it only shows a usb

    how can i get everything back?

    Error 1015 occurs when a phone is jailbroken.  Jailbreaking the iPhone voids any warranty and support from Apple, including this forum.
    You can receive no further help here.

  • HT4528 is a single crack on the front screen of an iphone 5 for verizon  covered under the one year warranty

    is a single crack on the front screen of an iphone 5 for verizon  covered under the one year warranty at no cost

    Not unless the crack is determined to be caused by a manufacturing error.
    Accidental damage is not covered under the standard one year warranty, which is a limited manufacturing warranty, not insurance.

  • HT1386 i have an iphone 4s. Im getting the iphone 5s for christmas, but i do  not have my phone backed up, and my phone is not working and my screen is covered with blue lines. I need help.

    My iphone is not working, i was planning on getting the iphone 5s for christmas, but i do not have my phone backed up on itunes. On my screen are these blue lines across on my screen, and i cant see anthing and i do not know what to do. I want to back up my phone but i cant see my screen to back it up. I need help badly. Thanks apple hope you can help me in this matter.

    You wouldn't need to see the screen to backup unless you have a passcode on the device. Is that the case? You should be able to plug the device into the computer with iTunes and just select backup now.
