My display screen on my iphone 5 pops out + safety issue.

I've pre-ordered my iPhone 5 in Australia and have been using it since.
Until recently, I've noticed that the left side of the display pops outs, and the screen shows bend marks when attempting to push it back(which it pops back out).
Additionally, when I'm charging it or its connected to my laptop, I'll sometimes get electrocuted as I grip it in my hands.
I wish to send it in for repair, despite its warranty has expired a while ago.
HOWEVER, my problem is that I'm living in Taiwan right now, and I won't be returning to Australia.
I've contacted the Apple Store in Taiwan and they told me there's nothing that they can do for me because my iPhone's not from Taiwan. They advised me to contact Apple Store in Australia, and here I am.......

Unless Australia's Apple store is paying for my flight, I don't see how this is acceptable. It's their product's safety that puts me at risk whenever I make a phone call. This phone has not been dropped in liquid, hard surface, nor has it been in environments that may cause deformation. I do not want Apple to give me a new phone or anything, I even told Apple Store Taiwan again that I'm willing to pay the repair cost (since my warranty is gone). Just because my phone is Australian, they refuse to point me in ANY direction other than Australia.

The top left corner of my iPhone 5s popped out

I Noticed today that when I set my phone down I could see the light from my iPhone 5s from the side of it. I picked it up to look and the screen is popping out. I have yet to drop it and I just received it a couple months ago. I'm stuck with it for 2 years so I really need help on how to fix it. Do I just take it to the Apple Store or is there anything I can do? And why did it do this?

Hello ErBear1,
It sounds like you noticed a portion of the screen isn't flush like the other parts are and as a consequence some light is escaping from it. There is not much that can be done for it, so I would recommend you use the following link to seek service for it:

The display screen on my iphone changed suddenly last night.

now looks like an exposed film negative. can this be fixed?

Apparently, this is caused by a loose connection between the "guts" of the phone and the LCD screen. While it only displays white, the touch screen will still operate correctly - so if you know where to swipe, you can still power it off or unlock the screen, or touch to answer a call or etc.
With my phone, pinching the top right corner near the power button while pushing the home/power button to wake up the phone, seems to tighten the connection enough for it to work. I have not had to maintain the pinch after waking up the phone, but I do have to do it each time I unlock the screen. I have gotten by for about 6 months so far, and hoping the iphone 5's come out soon!!

IPhone 5C popping out of case, broke today and when charged repeatedly vibrates

So my 5C has been making the popping noise recently, and today I dropped it and the screen turned weird colors, so I popped it back into place and then held the power and home buttons to reboot it. It hasn't turned on since, and when it is plugged in it won't stop vibrating. Any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated!!

Sounds like it has been damaged from dropping it. Take it into to your local Apple Store for repair/out of warranty/warranty replacement. You will most likely need to pay as dropping an iDevice is not covered by any warranty.
Good Luck

Iphone 5c screen popping out right side

hello
recently ive notice that the screen on my iPhone is slowly popping out on the top right hand corner...
ive seen other people with problem but its usually to the left hand side of the phone and people say its cause the battery is bulging, but the battery to the phone is on the left hand side but my screen is popping out on the right
every time i try to push the screen back in it just pops out again so i'm not entirely sure whats coursing it
when i look at where its popping out i can see the light for the back of the screen

When did you purchase it? You get a year of hardware coverage unless they say it's accidental. Do you purchase apple care? I'd take it into an Apple store.

My iphone 5(not S) screen popped out, the whole screen and digitizer, will they replace this if i go to the apple store?

my iphone 5 screen has been cracked but i recently dropped my phone again and the whole screenpopped out. its still attached by a black cord but now the whole screen is just black and i cant use it at all. will the apple store replace my screen or will i have to get a whole new iphone?

You may need to buy an entirely new iPhone. Before when the screen was just cracked you could have got an out of warranty replacement for a fee but now the screen has popped out and will most likely be classed as catastrophic damage.
At the link http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/ it says:
What type of damages are not covered by my warranty?
Apple's Limited Warranty for iPhone excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications. Please review the warranty for further details.
An iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service may be eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service. For example, an iPhone that has failed due to damage or liquid damage is ineligible for warranty service but eligible for OOW service. However, certain damage is ineligible for OOW service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details. Refer to this article to check if the Liquid Contact indicator on your product has been triggered.
If your iPhone is not eligible for warranty service, you may wish to contact your carrier for other options.
So all you can do is take it into a Store and they will make the decision.

I need a Front LCD Display Screen Touch Digitizer Assembly Frame for Iphone 4S Black, where can i buy it ? can i it by website? what ? thanks

Anywhere you can find it via the obvious Google search. It won't be from Apple, but will be a generic replacement.
Why are you throwing away any future chances of out of warranty replacements when you drop or drown it? Apple will give you a warranteed replacement phone for $199 (in the US, roughly the same in your country)

Connect iPhone to iTunes with broken display screen

My iPhone has a broken display screen and I can't connect with my iTunes because it says I have to log into my phone. I can't log into my phone because it is not working. I tried pressing the home button and then acting out the motions of entering my password, but nothing is happening. I have my replacement phone and I'm trying to reset my broken phone, but I can''t do that until I log into iTunes. If someone can advise me on what to do, it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. By the way, I am doing this on a PC computer.

Try putting the phone in DFU mode and then doing the restore. This article should help.

I dropped my iphone and the screen started popping out

i recently dropped my phone and it fell flat on its screen. the top right hand of the screen popped out and when i pressed the home button, there were white lines going vertically on the screen. My touch screen also wont work at all. I tried popping it back in but more white lines just started showing up on the screen. what should i do?

You mean no other smartphones have an issue where if you drop the phone the screen comes out? Really?
If all that needs to be done is to replace the screen the cost is $109/$129 USD depending on the model of the iPhone.
If there is more damage Apple does not repair the phone they replace the entire phone. The good news is if you only had this phone for a month and they do this then you get back your one year warranty. Or if you had purchased AppleCare+ it would have cost you $79 USD for your deductible.

How to display your email and a message to finder on the lock screen of an iPhone?

Hi,
I loose things, including phones and keys...
To prevent a worst case scenario: How to display your email and a message to finder on the lock screen of an iPhone? (6 plus, current iOS)
That is, I assume most people finding an iPhone would want to try to contact me to give it back to me, if they know how: how can leave my contact information in the phone? This needs to be on the lock screen, naturally, as this is the only view the finder can see. It would be useful to be able to add a message of sorts a la "if found please call my wife ### or email me ###".
How can this be done other than editing the JPG of the wallpaper, or sticking a business card to the back of the phone (these are the only solutions I came up with, there must be something better).
Cheers!

Greetings _daniel_,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It seems like you'd like to display a message on your iPhone 6 Plus in the event it is lost. Good news--you can do this with the Find my iPhone feature of iCloud.
Check out these links for more information:
iCloud: Set up iCloud
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
If you can’t find your device, use Lost Mode right away to lock it with a passcode, display a custom message on the screen, and keep track of its location.
Cheers,
Jeremy

Iphone screen popped out and glass broke. wont turn on

My iphone 4s screen popped out and the glass broke in one corner. Wont turn on. Can this be repaired?

do they replace it with the iphone 4s? I am 2 months shy of a verizon upgrade when I could get a more up to date phone. SO I would prefer a more current phone and 149 seems steep as an intermediary solution. Any advice

My G3S iphone will not display screen to turn on. If I hold down home button itunes comes on but screen still doesn't display. Volume works but, I can't turn phone off either. HELP!!!

I tried to do this and it was not successful. If I restore to factory settings through computer will I also lose my cellphone number? I'm not worried about apps or anything those are fine. I just need to know if my phone will no longer be registered with my Verizon number.
