The standard Apple warranty is 1 year. I believe you can purchase AppleCare+, which extends the warranty to two years from the date of purchase. This extended warranty needs to be purchased within 30 days of the purchase date for the phone.
If you have the extended warranty, you may be able to get a replacement phone at no cost. You will need to make an appointment at an Apple Store Genuis Bar and have them take a look at the phone.
If you did not purchase the additional warranty coverage, you should be able to purchase an Out-of-Warranty replacement, which is $199 for the iPhone 4S.

  • Cracked my iPhone 5! Can I take it to apple and pay to replace whole phone? If so what price does this come at?

    I need to know if apple will replace my iPhone
    It is still under warranty
    I want the whole handset replaced and am willing to pay
    Is this possible?
    Thank you

    If the donor has warranty left regardless of the OoW status the above counts
    That was a quote from the OoW section
    When setting up out-of-warranty service, Apple will request credit card pre-authorization for the maximum service fee listed above.  This amount will be deducted from your credit limit. The final service fee we charge will be determined during testing and may be less than the service fee listed above.  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 iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.  Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare service contract coverage, whichever is longer. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.
    Sorry but the above is crystal clear
    I admit I've never paid any attention to that note on the support page, and reading it, in my own personal experience, it is not interpreted as written, at least in the USA.  Again, based on my own personal service experience, the terms that legally apply and are in fact applied when seeking out of warranty service on any Apple product, are those in the general terms http://www.apple.com/legal/sales-support/terms/repair/generalservice.html.  If you read section three, there is no mention nor implication that anything done "out of warranty" carries anything but the 90 day coverage (and those terms expressly nullify any and all other).
    It may also be completely different in different countries as well, depending on how local consumer laws affect what a company can or cannot do.  But it has been my experience in the USA, when I have sought out of warranty service on Apple products (iOS devices as well as others), the warranty is considerd null and void, and only the limited warranty mentioned in the link above applies to the replacement device or parts.
    That's all I am going to say on it as I'm not about to get into an interpretive legal debate over lawyerize in warranty documents.  Anyone seeking out of warranty service can simply confirm with Apple for themselves what applies, in their specific situation and their specific country.

  • My wife has an ipad3 can she take it to apple and swoop it for a new one

       my wife has an i pad3 that she got in march now the new one is out can she take it into apple and swoop it for a new one???

    Is it defective in any way? is it less than 30 days old?
    If none of this is true then no, why do you think apple would trade in iPads for new ones?
    If you bought the iPad 3 less than 30 days ago some Stores can exchange it for a new iPad 4, but its a sotre by store policy.And it probbaly won;t apply anymore now that's been almost a month since the iPad 4 was released.
    Other than that, what's the reason for the exchange?

  • Hi! I used to have an Android G2 but it broke recently. Instead of buying a new one, an old friend of mine let me have his old Verizon iPhone 4s. Can I take it to Verizon and have it as a temporary phone?

    There's a couple options. It's not the easiest. Another way to not have to wait is to call V from another phone 8009220204 and they can activate it and walk you thru settings. Depending on where youre located CS might be closed but if you got the prompt for emergency tech support they are 24/7.

  • My phone just turned off and will not go back on. my top lock button has been broken for over a year. Help!

    my phone just turned off and will not go back on. my top lock button has been broken for over a year. Help! I have tried plugging it into wall unit and computer but my home button just doesnt do anything!

    It seems that year long delay from having your lock button repaired has finally caught up to you.  Sounds like you have some damage to your phone that requires repair/replacement.  Take it to a Apple store or contact Apple Tech Support.

  • Phone is frozen in  a middle of a call and my top restart button do not work, how can i fix this

    phone is frozen in  a middle of a call and my top restart button do not work, how can i fix it

    Bummer.
    Without having the top button, you couldn't do a hard reset.
    I'd say you might be looking at backing up and restoring through iTunes unfortunatley.

  • I forgot my passcode, so I was unable to access my phone. I then tried to restore it, but it has frozen during the process. It won't connect to my mac again and I can't stop the process because my lock button is broken. What do I do?

    I forgot my passcode, so I was unable to access my phone. I then tried to restore it, but it has frozen during the process. It won't connect to my mac again and I can't stop the process because my lock button is broken. What do I do?

    My first advice is "Back up the device, then have it replaced."  Second item of advice, "Don't forget your passcode."
    One of the purposes of the lock button is to recover from certain software failures.  Without the lock button, such a recovery is nearly impossible.  My advice would have served you best when the malfuction first developed, not after you forgot your passcode.

    Unless somebody else has a micracle workaround I don't know.  Probably get the phone in for repair since it has been living on borrowed time so far and now you absolutely must have a working button.
