My iPhone 5 lock button has stopped working

My iPhone 5 lock button has stopped working, it says on the website that certain models can be sent in to be replaced and that my serial number is one of these, but I am out of warranty and will not allow me to contact Apple without payng £25, is anyone else had the same issue as I don't want to pay out money to get something fixed that Apple have recognised to be faulty, and I don't live anywhere near an Apple Store

Hi
The £25 charge is a support charge for iPhones out of free support, you should not be charged for requesting support for a recall issue however if you can stretch to get to an Apple Store it is worth it resolving any issues face to face rather than email or phone is just easier.
Check you are eligable here:

My centre button has stopped working and my top lock button has stopped working too. I've had this iPhone 2 years now, can I take it into apple and swap for another phone or am I not covered? Thanks

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.

Will apple replace my phone with no cost if my lock button has stopped working??

will apple replae my phone with no cost if my lock button has stopped working? iphone 4

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Only if the iPhone is in warranty. If not, you will probably have to pay for a refurbished iPhone (Apple doesn't repair iPhones and return them to you). See "Warranty & Service Pricing" > http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipho ne

My lock button has stopped working will Apple replace my phone with a new one?

I have an iPhone 5 which I got in January of 2013 it is now October 2013 and my lock button has stopped and the camera seems to be depixelating I think, would Apple replace the phone with a new iPhone, I haven't dropped it, it has no major dents or drop wounds. Also as a secondary question, if they do replace the phone do I get the charger cable ect? or are no accessories included ?

No accessories, just a perfect Replacement iPhone 5 exactly like yours, same color, same GB, everything the same.

My iPone 5 has broken the lock button has stopped working and there are many other software problems, I was wondering would I go about in getting this repaired by apple?

My iPhones home button has stopped working.

My home button for my iphone 4 has stopped working, i didnt break it but i have been inside the phone, though I havent changed anything.
Will Apple repair my iphone for free, or give me a new one for free?

If you've opened your phone, your warranty is void. Apple won't touch your phone. Only option now is to find a 3rd party repair shop.

My iPhone 5 lock button has stopped working, I am only 14 am I able to take it in to apple store?

I am 14 years old if I take my phone in will they be able to repair it or replace it without my parents, also if the lock button dosent work do apple normally replace iPhone 5's

Yes. Make Genius reservation first, so you do not have a long wait at the Apple Store. From the problem you describe, most likely, the Genius will handle the problem with a perfect Replacement iPhone 5 just like the one you have now.

My iphone home button has stopped working

My iphone's home button has been acting up and sometimes it didnt work but now my home button just doesnt work at all. Also last night I used the Keep it clean wipes to clean out the home button and now it just wont work but when I try to re calibrate the home button like when I go to photos or stocks and I hold down the power button until it say '' slide to power off '' then I press and hold the home button and it still force quits back to the home screen when I do that but when I press the home button to go back to the home screen or to use the multitasking or when the voice control it doesnt work anymore I dont know what to do. Ive got an appointment tomorrow at the genius bar and my 1 year warranty just expired a few weeks ago (25 june)
Also I dont want to get the phone replaced as everything on the phone works except for the home button now
Also If I take in the phone will they just fix the home button or replace the extire home button ? and if so how much will it cost ?
Also and after I used the wipes the home button did still work but it just stopped working today when I was in the car and I wiped the phone with my shirt to clean the dust and it just completely stopped working
Any help appreciated as Im feeling extremely sad now because I love this phone and its useless now without the home button
Thanks

The home button has stopped working on my iphone 5c. Did the same a few months ago and recovered 24hrs later. Can anyone explain this problem. Phone still in warranty. Had steam issue recently but this was after last home button episode.

Have an iphone 5c 8g. The home button has stopped working. Did the same a few months ago and recovered 24hrs later. Can anyone explain this problem. Phone still in warranty. Had steam issue recently but this was after last home button episode and no evidence of damage.

If you are playing in hockey arenas a lot or if you are bringing it into bathroom same time as shower it may not seem like much but overtime the steam can acquire and build up in the phones usb dock flex cable swell as the home button flex cable. Bring again into apple store and should be covered under warranty again. could also be a delay in a 8gb 5c software may just be very lag.
