My iPhone 5 has a bent top frame
Hi all,
I have a black & slate iPhone 5, and it has a massive bent / bumped parton the top.
Is there anything I could do about it? Or do I need to repair it?
Thanks, Alex.
I just noticed an issue with my iPhone5 a few hours ago, the protective case I've had on it for well over a year, popping loose on the side near the volume buttons. So I took it off and noticed a bright white glow coming from the screen and the body of the phone itself. Nothing cracked, the screen is partically seperating from the phone (press down hard enough on that area, you get that LCD fukny color " fluid / wave" effect. Beats the heck out of me, I honestly never drop it, I treat this thing so carefully.
Ugh, I carefully taped it down / cover the exposed area with electrical tape and put it back up in the case. Again screen is not cracked at all, it works, it's alost like the screen warped and seperated for some reason.
I'll head to Apple tomorrow and ask if they can do a quick fix, maybe a cheap one...if possible? it doesn't make sense to shell out $269 now with a new phone coming out in a few months - Was planning on getting it anyway eventually...just not on day one.
Ah well! Just no idea why it happened.

My screen is lifting in the corner and the phone is in an otter box and in immaculate condition. Took it in and the manager told me that it's my fault and insinuated that I bent the frame on purpose to get a new phone! I just want my phone fixed. I don't want to pay 300 for another phone when they have already fixed the screen once as it wasn't working.
So call AppleCare and ask to be transferred to customer service and talk to them.

iphone6 has started bent... HELP!!!
My iPhone 6 is also bent, on the top of the phone. Here is my sad story...
I had the phone in my coat pocket and it felt funny so I pulled it out of its Otterbox to find it was bent.
I dont know how it was bent.
I went to the ATT store where I bought it and where I insured it (5 days old)
They told me to go 40 miles to an Apple Store and see a Genius for a replacement.
Since I had to work all week and didnt have the time to go 40 miles away, I asked them if there was any other option.
They told me to contact the insurance company and they would overnight me a phone, so I contacted the insucance company.
Was not apple care, it was another name...
The insurance company asked for a scan of my DL, a photo of the phone and a photo of the receipt, I provided all three.
Good news!!! for 199.00 they would replace my phone...(I paid 45.00 for the phone)
Shaking my head, I decided to make an appointment with an Apple Genius.
Mind you I have been a purchaser of apple products for 20 years, and had iPhones for many years so far...no reason to think anything odd so far.
I get to the mall, see a Genius who looks at my phone and states "Apple does not replace bent iPhones" I asked why was I told to see her then and waste my day driving out to the mall? she had no idea. She said she would happily replace my phone for 299.00 and walked away...Freehold Raceway Mall NJ
She was rude, then another Genius asked me if I wanted to buy a new phone I said NO! he then asked if there was anything else other wise I should just go...
Yea, rude again...so me and my bent iPhone that turns off all the time are out of luck... -
my iphone 4g has crashed. itunes doesn't seem to recognize it and wil not let me restore it. i have updated all software and there are no anti-virus apps/software on the macbook that this phone syncs with. i do get an error message on the phone that says something like the accessory is not compatible but I have no accessory for the phone other than the apple chargers and ear buds. any thoughts?
The possible fix for the "this accessory is not compatible" is to carefully clean the dock port with isopropyll alcohol especially the pins which are on top of the mid rib. Be firm but do not break anything. Let it dry for a minute. See if that helps, if not try to clean one more time. If problems persist might need to Visit Apple.

Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet. -

IPhone 3g has unresponsive touchscreen and sleeper button...
Out of nowhere my iPhone 3G has an completely unresponsive touchscreen. The home button and volume control still work, but the sleeper button on the top has not been working for some time. I would really appreciate anybody's help or advice in this, thanks.
Sorry to hear that your iPhone is having so much trouble. Rare, but both these problems can be due to faulty Logic Board and therefore your iPhone would need to be replaced. More commonly however, it is not the Logic Board, and these can be fixed. The repairs are difficult and probably not worth the time or money, so a new iPhone is possibly the best choice. The sleep button repair is very difficult and requires replacement of the Headphone Jack Cable Complex (Flex Cable #5). The unresponsive touchscreen is a faulty digitizer. This can be due to breakage of the screen, visible or not, or can be due to Flex Cable #2 (Digitizer Flex Cable) coming loose from the Logic Board. If #2 is just loose, then Apple Genius at my store will reseat #2 to the Logic Board for free. If it is faulty, then fix is, replacement of Glass Front Screen with the Digitizer attached. Good Luck.

iphone 4 has no service after replacing screen and updating, phone company says sim is fine. any ideas? thanks
We had this happen with a ipad mini, took it back to person who worked on it, after a week with trying to get it working again, he replaced it. I will agree with the other replies take it back to repair place there must be something inside the phone that if you don't do repair excalty right it messes up all phone functions. Also I would give the repair person a time frame to either get it working or replace it.
