One Year Limited Warranty Question

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had to exercise their one year limited warranty with Apple. I won my iPhone 3G from work, and now I have discovered that it has a loose part in it near the earpiece. It sounds even WORSE when I take out the SIM card. I believe this is the cause of my random and sporadic problems where I'm prompted to power off the phone or when I'm using the phone no call it'll suddenly reboot.
Any ways, because it was a gift from work, do you guys think Apple will honour it?
If so, is it a straight-exchange over-the-counter or do I have to wait and what-not?
Thanks to all that reply!

The written warranty states that an exchange under warranty will be a new or refurbished iPhone, so it will be either one. If you receive a refurbished iPhone for the exchange, you won't be able to tell any difference, and the exchange will remain under the same warranty.

  • MBP - One Year Limited Warranty

    i will be purchasing my first mac tonight, i just want to ask if the one year limited warranty is global coverage? [i will be living overseas next year].
    thank you!

    i was at the stanford apple store and asked them the same question. they advised me to buy the applecare where i purchased the laptop and then take it overseas.
    But this info on apple's site confuses me ?
    Where can I purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan?
    * The AppleCare Protection Plan is available at the online Apple Store, Apple retail stores, and many Apple Authorised Resellers. Apple recommends that you purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan in your country of residence, because each AppleCare Protection Plan has terms and conditions specific to consumers of the country or region in which the plan is offered. Please see the AppleCare Protection Plan Terms and Conditions for complete details.
    I think you should call the store closest to the place you'll be living to ask what the right thing to do is?

  • I'm buying a MBP from a non apple store, do I still have the same "one year limited warranty"? And is it international or not?

    I live in Turkey and my father is bying me a Macbook pro from Dubai's airport, and I was wondering if I would still have the same "one year limited warranty" as if I bought it from an apple store in Turkey, and is the one year limited warranty international or not?
    So can I return, replace or repaire the laptop in Turkey

    If the seller is an Authorized Apple Service Provider, then yes.  Otherwise I do not know.
    I do not see Dubai listed:

  • My iphone5s has been opened, could i get Out-of-warranty repair service? it is still in One Year Limited Warranty

    my iphone5s has some problem with hardware. And someone has opened it for repairing. but he failed. Now, my iphone5s unable to boot. But it is still in One Year Limited Warranty. I am confused whether i can get Out-of-warranty service. Thank you!

    No. Apple will never touch that phone again. Go back to the "technician" that ruined your phone. Maybe he will offer you "warranty" service and give you some cash that you can use in buying a new phone.

  • One year limited warranty coverage

    Does the one year limited warranty cover broken/stuck buttons?
    My sound and lock button are both stuck and not in working order.
    Will this be covered?

    I received the same e-mail, but I have not responded yet because I wasn't sure if it was legit or not.  The primary reason I don't think (at least for myself) that it is legit is that there was an order number in the email subject, but it did not match my order number for my iPhone 4S purchase.  It made it very suspect in my mind...either that or something else is messed up. ;-) But the Apple Store has the same order number I have when I logged in, so I think the e-mail is suspect...not a problem with my order.
    I figured that the phone is covered for 90 days and during that time we are supposed to be able to add the AppleCare to it.  I'll do so during that time.
    I also purchased the iPhone 4S via the Apple Store App, but on my iPhone 3GS. 
    Sorry I'm not much help, but that was my thinking behind why I did not respond to it.

  • If you lost your ipod touch does your one year limited warranty give you a new one?

    i lost my ipod touch an hour ago. ive tried finding it with the locator but since it's offline it hasnt been of much help. ive come to the conclusion that somebody stole it because i lost it in class. so does my one year limited warranty cover a stolen/lost ipod?

    No.  The warranty only covers manufacturing defects.
    Lost/stolen devices are not covered, nor are devices with physical damage.

  • One year limited Warranty

    Hi, I bought my Iphone last October in the UK. Does the limited warranty applies to other countries, ie Singapore? I'm asking this as there seems to be a problem with my Iphone 4 and I am currently stationed in Singapore. Also, I did not purchase the applecare. Any respond to this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    The iPhone warranty is not International.  It is only honored in the country where Apple initially sold the device.
    The only exception is in EU countries where the warranty is honored in other EU countries.

  • Can I purchase Apple Care after one year of warranty?

    I Purchased my iPod over a year ago. There is currently nothing wrong with it, however Ive previously had to send the iPod for repairs.(Center Button Broke)I find apple products have the tendency to break after a year or more of use!! So to keep safe I was wondering whether I can buy Apple Care now? Thanks

    No, per Apple:
    +Important notes+
    +The AppleCare Protection Plan can be purchased only while your iPod or Apple TV is still covered under the standard one-year limited warranty.+

  • Does 1 year limited warranty cover faulty back camera?

    Does the 1 year Limited warranty cover faulty back camera when phone has a small crack in it. Camera stopped working I took the case off the see if that was interfering and dropped the phone.

    Sorry, but dropping the phone is not covered by the warranty, so, if you visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get the phone serviced, you might have to pay the Out-Of-Warranty-Service fee to get your phone replaced:
    Out-of-warranty repair service
    If your repair isn’t covered by Apple’s One Year Limited Warranty, AppleCare+, or AppleCare Protection Plan, your iPhone might be eligible for out-of-warranty service. For example, liquid damage isn’t covered by warranty but might be eligible for out-of-warranty service. Some damage isn’t eligible at all, for example if your device has been broken into multiple pieces. See Apple’s Repair Terms and Conditions for complete details.

  • My refurbished rMBP 15" has a stuck (white) pixel and is still under the 1 year limited warranty, can/will Apple repair it if I go to an Apple Store?

    Hi, my refurbished rMBP 15" has a stuck (white) pixel and is still under the 1 year limited warranty, can/will Apple repair it if I go to an Apple Store?
    I just discovered today that my MacBook has a "stuck" pixel. I read that the display has to have at least 5 dead/stuck pixels else Apple is not going to repair it, is it true? My warranty expires in 1 month so I can't really wait for 4 more pixels to die or get stuck.
    Temporary fix:
    I know that this is something I can't really repair myself, but I tried some things such as changing the display resolution to it's "Full" 2880x1800 resolution and It actually reduced the size of the stuck pixel.
    Thank You,
    Etienne

    Hello etienne255,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with questions concerning pixel anomalies:
    About LCD display pixel anomalies for Apple products released before 2010 - Apple Support
    If you suspect your display contains a high number of pixel anomalies, take your Apple product to an Apple Authorized Service Provider for closer examination.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Why does my palm pre not covered under the one-year manufacturer warranty?

    Hello Palm,
    I bought one Palm Pre last month for my brother in China who is a big fan of Palm devices. However, the second week after he got the phone, the phone got very hot once he switched on and he can't access the internet. He doubted the chip of the phone was defective which causes the heat.
    I called Palm Pre customer service in California several times and finally connected to a lady. She said since the phone was used in China and didn't come with a carrier number, they can't repair it and she suggested me upgrading the system. I don't understand why this phone was not covered by the one year manufacture warranty. The lady was not able to give an answer. So I am asking here to expect to have a reasonable one.
    I am really frustrated by this phone problem and need a positive feedback.
    Thanks
    Peggy
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    I think their "refurbished only after 30 days" policy is ridiculous. The phone is less than 2 months old, and now I have to settle for a refurb when there's more than one thing wrong with the phone. It freezes, turns off, and restarts even with light usage. It heats up to the point of turning itself off and not coming back on. the speaker just blew, and with the slider open and shut, it wobbles all over the place. This is a great phone, packed with features, although video and/or sound recording would be nice. It is a true all in one device, and does everything. It's just not well made, and the replacement policy stinks. Next time I want a used ph one, I"ll get one on craigslist. I had LG's for the last 7 years, and had a problem once, about a month before the warranty was up, and they sent me a brand new phone. can't see me sticking with palm in the future, unless they fix all the issues with this phone.

  • My button has stopped working all the time is this covered by the one year original warranty?

    My button on my ipad does not work all of the time does any one know if this is covered under the original one year warranty?

    If you have a hardware issue (the home or power button not working certainly would be hardware) and you make an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar, if it is found to be defective, it certainly would be covered under the one year warranty.
