Original Iphone 2g needs an Out-of-Warranty replacement

I have an Original Iphone 2g.  It is broken and needs an Out-of-Warranty replacement.  However, I live in Canada and went to talk to a genius at and Apple store here who told me that because it was never available in Canada he can't touch it. He said I could drive down to the States, but that is quite the mission.  I am just wondering what my options might be besides that?  Can I not just mail it into apple?  I don't want them to charge me $99999.99 for diagnostic fees, mail and then they say a replacement is not possible.
Thanks,
JR

The original iPhone was indeed never released in Canada, so you would have to drive to the US for service or send it someone you know in the US who could take it to Apple on your behalf and then return it to you (Apple will not accept out-of-country shipments nor ship the replacement out of the US). You could still get it replaced at an Apple Store for $149 US:

Going through a third-party shop may be cheaper, but again it may not, depending on what's wrong with the iPhone. In either case I don't know if that old iPhone is worth it. It might be better to put the money toward a new iPhone; you can get a new unlocked 3GS for CA$375 from the Apple Store.
Regards.

    I need an out of warranty iphone4 replacement, is it possible?

    I highly doubt if Apple will grant a warranty exception for a battery that is 6 years old. Just purchase a new one.

  • Iphone 4 16 gb out of warranty replacement

    Hello, I have a Iphone 4, 16gb, that is past its applecare warranty. I heard that you can sometimes pay a $149 fee to get an exact replacement. Is this true? What are the limitations? The phone works for the most part, but the sound/vibrate switch keeps braking (fixed twice already) and the main button is not so sensitive any more.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Yes, it's true. If it's not functioning and Apple determines it's a hardware problem, you can get an out of warranty replacement.
    However...

    How EXACTLY, did you get this fixed? If you opened the phone, or had it fixed by an unauthorized 3rd party, Apple won't touch that phone. You can not get a replacement from Apple.

  • Smashed iPhone 4S - Out of warranty replacement

    I dropped my iPhone 4S and the screen has stopped working as well as the back being cracked. The phone itself is still working - I've been making calls via Siri; have been recieving texts and can play music etc. I haven't had the phone for very long, but I understand that the damage is not covered by the warranty I still have. I've contacted Apple and they have said I can get a complete replacement, which will be refurbished or 'as new', for £146 if I send my phone to them. My question is, is this worth it?
    I assume the replacement will have the same specs. i.e. 16GB; white. But I was wondering what the actual condition of the refurbished phones are like? Do they have scratches etc? As mine was absolutely mint condition before the accident! In your opinion, are refurbs. better than 'brand new' untested phones?
    Will I still have the rest of my year's warranty if I get it replaced or will I get a complete year again, or will replacing it void any warranty? As I don't want to get a replacement which has an issue that I didn't create which would usually be covered by the warranty, and not be able to get fixed for free by Apple.
    Also, do I get to keep my orignial iPhone box, or do I need to send that off? And how long does the entire process take?
    I've been to a phone shop and they said they will replace the screen and the back for £60, however, until they open it up, they do not know if there is any internal damage (which I'm worried about!) - for all I know, I've damaged the camera and who knows what else! As I'm sure if I get it tampered with at a shop, I will void my warranty and won't be able to get it replaced at all by Apple.
    Thank you!

    Unauthorised tampering will invalidate your warranty
    Apple will sell you an "out of warranty replacement ,like for like
    at a cost of £139  in store or £146 for mail in
    replacement will take the remainder of original iPhone warranty
    or 90 days which ever is longer
    refurbished iPhones are as new and you will not know the difference
    between refurb and a "brand new iPhone

  • If I'm Getting my iPhone an Out-of-Warranty Replacment

    If I'm Getting my iPhone an Out-of-Warranty Replacment for a cracked screen, do I need to tell them any information? I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and going to West Edmonton Mall to have an out-of-warranty replacment.

    I'm assuming this is being done by Apple. Since you're getting a replacement iPhone, you obviously have to provide the them info they request regarding your broken phone and will have to update your carrier with the new info such as the IMEI #.

  • Out of Warranty replacement for water damaged iPhone 4s.

    I left it in rice, didn't work. And so I want apple to give me a replacement but I am out of the warranty. How much would it be for a replacement, and how do I go about getting the replacement?

    This for the U.S.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
    iPhone model
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    iPhone 5
    $229
    iPhone 4S
    $199
    iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
    iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
    $149
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax. When setting up out-of-warranty service, Apple will request credit card pre-authorization for the maximum service fee listed above.  This amount will be deducted from your credit limit. The final service fee we charge will be determined during testing and may be less than the service fee listed above.Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications.

  • IPhone 3GS out of warranty replacement

    I'm italian so sorry for my english. I have an iPhone 3GS: it has some scratches and it doesn't work very good since it dropped from the tabel some months ago. Ah, it's obviously out of warranty. My question is: if I pay the maximum price for out-of-warranty replacement (161€/200$) can I have a new or refurbished iPhone? Maybe hoping in a new model one (I think that there are not any 3GS anymore)?

    Hello,
         The cheapest and most efficient method would be to do a battery replacement. To do so bring your iPhone to a local Genius Bar and they will replace the whole device for 79$ US. If they do not have the device in stock, thay will ship one to you and your 3GS will need to be returned to Apple. Alternatively you can contact Apple Care and order a battery replacement phone for 79$ + shipping. It will be replaced with a 3GS as they are still in production for AT&T new. The Genius Bar option is the best though as you are guaranteed a new phone if they have it in stock!
    Sincerely,
    Michael

  • What is the cost of replacing iphone 5(broken screen, out of warranty) with a higher model maybe 5s? In India.

    Hi,
    Yesterday i dropped my phone and the screen got shattered. The phone is working fine. but the screen is cracked.
    After searching through the internet, i found out the following options:
    Getting Out-of-warranty Replacement.
    Getting the screen repaired by Apple Store.
    I am located in India and had  bought the phone from India only.
    So my questions are?
    What is the cost of getting an out-of warranty replacement for iPhone 5?
    Can i get a replacement for a higher model of iPhone( maybe 5s or upcoming iPhone 6). If yes, how much extra i'll have to pay?
    Is it possible to repair the broken screen in India? if yes, what will be the tentative cost?
    Thanks.

    iPhone 5 screen replacement at an Apple store is ~$120.
    The price of getting the screen replaced in the US on the 5 is $150, and it is only available on the US as of now.
    iPhone 5 screen replacement at an non-official Apple retailer is $75-90
    Should the OP decide to go that route, he will be forfeiting future support from Apple, both in and out of warranty
    A new/refurb 16GB iPhone 5 from Apple is ~$400
    A used 16GB iPhone 5 on Craigslist or Swappa is ~$275-350
    Apple no longer sells the iPhone 5. They keep a number of units on hand for out of warranty service, which is $269 in the US.
    Buying from Craiglist (or on-line) is usually risky as the phones turn out to be not what they are advertised as.

  • Can i make use of the out of warranty replacement deal in the USA if im/my iphone is from Europe?

    Well my iPhone 4 got water damage and looks dead to me, even putting it in a rice bag. So I read that there is an out of warranty replacement in the USA for $199. In a few days I'll be in the States... so I want to ask if it will be possible for me to get my European iPhone replaced in the US Apple Store?

    Very, very unlikely as the iPhone warranty is generally valid only in the country of purchase.  The out of warranty replacement is also valid in Europe.  Just hop on down to your local Apple store for the exchange.

  • Did Apple increase the Out of Warranty Replacement cost for iPhone 5 from $229 to $269?

    Did Apple increase the Out of Warranty Replacement cost for iPhone 5 from $229 to $269?
    I would have expected this cost to decrease not increase with the announcement of the new iPhones yesterday.

    I think they must have increased it recently because I was told $269 to replace my iPhone 5 on 9/13/13.  I don't know how iPhone 5 replacements are going to work out now that they won't be carrying them anymore.
