My iPhone 4 lock button broke, will Apple fix/replace it for free under the one year warranty?

I've had my iPhone 4 for just under a year now and a couple weeks ago the lock button broke. At first, it was just difficult to press down and now it's just completely stuck. I've been using the assistive touch but it's kind of a hassle. I still have a few days left of my one year warranty, so if I went to the Apple Store would they fix/replace my phone for free or would I have to pay? Also, I was having issues with my speakers previously so I went to get it fixed and they said my phone has water damage and I would need to pay to fix it. Will the water damage effect them fixing my lock button too or is it different? Any advice/guidence is greatly appreciated!

If there is water damage then they will likely conclude that your issues are a result of that and you will have to pay.
But don't ask us, ask them. We're users and this have no idea what Apple will say in your case.

  • IPhone 5 lock button not working at all. If I'm in the one year warranty still but don't have apple care will I have to pay to get it fixed or will it be covered

    I have a iPhone 5 and about a month ago my lock button stopped working. It takes me about ten tries to power it back on or to lock it. If I'm still in my one year warranty will I have to pay to get it fixed? I didn't purchase apple care though so I'm wondering if it's going to cost me to get it fixed or if it's still covered because of the one year warranty? Thank you!

    If it's due to a manufacturing defect, the warranty will cover it. If it's due to accidental damage, it'll cost to get it fixed unless it happened during an authorized repair.

  • HT2978 my earphones just broke, will apple store replace them for free if i have apple car and has been less than a year since i bought the phone ?

    please help

    There's only one way to find out what Apple might do in your case. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.
    I will say though that I've had two iPads and an iPhone and my wife also has an iPhone. Total use time is 6-7 years and we've never had a cable tear or fail.

  • 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.

    I was walking with my macbook open when suddeny i fainted, my macbook fell off my hands and i was unconcious so i idid not see it fall or where it hit, when i noticed it fell i paniced the system worked perfectly so i was okay. Later that day i was checking it to make sure and the bottom right corner is bended a little and seems broken with a bit missing, the black thing connecting the screen with the bottom is popping out and when i flip my mac it wouldn't stay shut, it would open a bit. one of the screw drivers is falling off.

    Since you dropped it the damage is not covered under the warranty (read your warranty.)
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • HT1349 Is the Apple Magsafe 2 Power Adapter covered under Apples one year warranty?  I cant figure out how to check the date.  The serial number is to long to enter.

    I need help finding out warranty information on the Apple Magsafe 2 Power Adapter.  When I enter the serial number, it is too long for the box.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    I got this from my father.  It looks like it is an aftermarket package and not something that came with the original Mac. I will try to attach a picture of the item box and the barcode label.  The actual part number is MD506LL/A .

  • Does the one year warranty apply to replacement iPhone 4s?

    On July 2, 2012 I purchased a replacement iPhone 4 from the apple store. A couple weeks ago it stopped vibrating. It's March 6, 2013, if I bring my phone into the apple store will it be covered under the one year warranty? Will they replace it for free or will I have to pay $100?

    The warrenty on a replacement phone is either the remaining warranty on the phone being replaced or 90 days, whichever is longer.

  • Are the charge cords covered by the one year warranty on the iphone 5?

    My family bought four new iphone 5 phones in December of 2012 and only one phone charging cord works now.  Does anyone know if apple covers the cords under the one year warranty?

    Yes so long as they have not been broken through abuse or damage.

  • If my home button or lock button is broke will apple fix it for free, even with other things wrong with it?

    if my home or lock button is broke, will apple fix it for free even if there are other things wrong with it?

    If it is still under warranty, Apple reserves the right to either repair or replace with comparable item...take it to an Apple genius bar, have them examine it and see what they decide to do.

  • Cracked iPhone 5 Screen. Will Apple repair/replace this?

    So I bought an iPhone 5 off craigslist, and a week later I drop it off the 2nd floor
    Completely shattered the screen, the lcd won't light up at all, and the home button flew off(still have it)
    I can still get calls/texts, I hear my ringtone and the phone vibrates, but I can't see or use the screen. The bezel also slightly bent at the top near the volume button.
    Will Apple repair/replace this? I know they charge $229 for user damage repairs, but will my phone be covered due to the amount of damage??

    " I know they charge $229 for user damage repairs, but will my phone be covered due to the amount of damage??"
    Only Apple can tell you this.
    Make an appointement at the genius bar and ask them.

  • My iphone5c is still under the 1 year warranty, the top button constantly sticks and does not work properly will Apple still replace my phone even though there is a few chips and scratches on the back?

    My iphone5c is still under the 1 year warranty, the top button constantly sticks and does not work properly will Apple still replace my phone even though there is a few chips and scratches on the back?

    As Peter says above, only an Apple Store genius can advise you.
    But to further clarify, you seem to postulate that if Apple helps you, the cure would be a replacement.  That is not necessarily true.  Let them look at it and advise you what the remedy is.  They may offer you nothing (saying it's your fault), or they may offer you a solution (keeping your current iPhone), or possibly a replacement.

  • Will Apple replace my iPhone 5 charger under the 1 year warranty?

    My iphone 5 charger has been acting weird lately. It charges my phone only if i hold it in a certain position and if I move it it will stop charging, and it goes on and off. Is this considered a defected charger that Apple can replace? I'm still under the 1 year warranty as I had gotten my phone late 2013.

    I would definitely make an appointment but the nearest Apple store to me is a bit far, trying to get some insight before i decide to make an appointment. Thank you though
