Out Of Warranty Replacement (Unlocked)

Is it possible to replace the iphone out of warranty? I dropped it and I believe the warranty is void because of that. The touch screen isn't working. The screen works fine but the touch doesnt respond. My phone is unlocked and I paid 650$+tax for it. Is there a chance that they will replace it for free? Will they ask for 199$ for an unlocked one? Or do I have to pay another 650?

As far as I'm aware, the out of warranty replacement cost of $199 applies to all iPhone 4's whether they are locked or unlocked. Make sure they are aware that it is unlocked!
IF there is no visible sign of damage, and you don't make a big deal out of telling them it was dropped, they may end up replacing it for you under warranty. Even if they know it was dropped, if there is no visible damage, they may replace it anyway. It's been known to happen. I'd be prepared to pay the $199 though.

  • 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.

  • Out-of-Warranty replacement in UK??

    My iPhone is damaged as it has fallen into water.
    I want a out-of-warranty replacement in UK. Where do I send my iPhone for the replacement in London? I need the procedures & physical address please.
    Apperciate your help!

    Dear Peter,
    From bottom of my heart I'm saying thanks!
    My iPhone is 4; so, I'm assuming it will be £. 119?
    I beleive it should be originated from UK as it is officially unlocked and purchased in Feb 2011; at that time, USA has never sold iPhone 4 officially unlocked.
    I've purchased it from local unauthorized apple retailer in Kuwait (at that time, no authorized apple retailer in Kuwait).
    How do I know whether it is originated from UK or USA?

  • 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 #.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Bulging battery in Egypt.  Can I get an out of warranty replacement somehow?

    The subject pretty much says it all.  I'm living in Egypt but bought my first generation black MacBook in the US in 2006.  Earlier this year I noticed the battery bulging to the point where getting it in the case is problematic.  I know this is an issue with many Apple batteries for some reason.  Is there a way to get an out of warranty replacement sent here? 
    A pic here for those interested.

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

  • 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
