Repair iphone 5 as a gift.

Hi,
My boyfriend recently smashed his iPhone 5 in a car door, and he told me it would cost him $199 to get it repaired. I am wanting to get his phone fixed for him as a Christmas present. Can I buy a $200 gift card from Apple and use that for the repair cost?

You could take it to an Apple retail store Genius bar
In exchange for the bits and the dollars you could walk out with a replacement
not very subtle but gets the job done

  • I received an Iphone 5 as a gift two days ago. The first thing I did was set up ICloud for photos. Itunes would not allow me to add songs to my new phone without restoring it, yet when I did this, it deleted all photos. And I cannot find them anywhere.

    I received an Iphone 5 as a gift two days ago. The first thing I did was set up ICloud for photos. Itunes would not allow me to add songs to my new phone without restoring it, yet when I did this, it deleted all 129 photos of my graduation and friends from the past two days. And I cannot find them anywhere, photo stream, ICloud, nothing. Where can I get back my memories?

    Were the photos taken by your new iPhone?  If so, did you not import them off your phone to your computer (as you would any other digital camera) before the restore?  If not, restoring wiped the data off the phone and your pictures are gone.
    Sounds like a good time to (re)read the User Guide.

    No, but it's recommended you setup a support profile:

    what will be aprox cost of repairing iphone 4 if it get contact with liquid ?

    Why don't you look it up on Apple's website, or call them?
    Note that if the phone came from a different country, it can not be serviced or replaced in India. It can only be serviced in the country where it was originally sold.

    Hi everybody, I have 3 questions, first: Can we buy original LCD from Apple? Second: Where can my earphone can be repair(iPhone 4s) ? third: Where can my mute button can be repair ? Thanks for your answer !

    If out of warranty and mechanically inclined, you can get parts and how-to at www.ifixit.com.
    The 4 Series are relatively easy to open and service, I've replaced batteries on two 4s.  The 5 Series are a nightmare.

  • Does Apple repair iphones on Virgin Mobile network?

    My daughter's phone dropped out of her back pocket this morning and shattered the screen.  Since I didn't buy the phone at an Apple store, will they help me?

    Apple will handle your iPhone regardless of where you purchased it. Apple does not repair iPhones, but will replace the entire iPhone for a flat fee. See the Service Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
    There are independent iPhone repair services that may be able to do the repair for less than Apple's out-of-warranty charge. Do a web search for "iPhone repair". Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPhone serviced by an unauthorized shop, all further warranty and support from Apple will be voided.
    Regards.

  • Trouble purchasing Iphone 4s online with gift cards

    Hi all!! 
    I am trying to purchase a 64 gig Iphone 4s online but am not seeing a place to apply my gift cards that I got for christmas.  All it is asking for is my credit card info.  I have 170.00 worth of gift cards that I would like to apply to the balance before paying.  I'm just not seeing where to enter gift cards.  Any help is appreciated, thank you so much

    Golly, all of my wasted effort could have been avoided. Who did you talk to at Verizon? I started with Verizon's online chat while trying to order the iPhone 4s, and then I was referred to customer service, and then VZW's twitter support account thought they'd give it a shot; and none of those 3 sources suggested that I could bill it to my phone account and then apply my gift cards to pay the phone account. The person who helped you was sure clever! Who did you talk to?
    Meanwhile, because no one I had contacted could suggest a work around, I resorted to making complaints with both the Better Business Bureau and the FCC. I should be hearing back, soon. LOL.
    I've been waiting for over 2 months for the iPhone to be "in stock". I've been carrying around $1100 in gift cards that were sold to me for the purpose of ordering an iPhone 4s 64GB online. I sure wish the sales rep in the Verizon Corporate Retail Store had known that gift cards would tie me up FOREVER.
    You know, I was told by Customer Service that I won't even be able to purchase an iPhone 4s with my gift cards (or even with CASH, for that matter) at a Verizon Corporate Retail store if/when they come in, because the store orders through the same portal that we use to order online.
    I don't generally sit back and take it when someone has tied up the use of $1100 of my money, so this is a new experience for me.

  • How much to repair iphone 4 screen

    looking for info on repairing a cracked screen on a iPhone4.  How and cost?  Is this something you can do by yourself?

    No, it is not something you can do by yourself. Apple does not sell parts and the iPhone is not considered user servicable. Apple doesn't even do it in store for the 4 or 4S. You can get the phone replaced by Apple for $149.

  • Can I set up a repair iphone

    ???

    Apple does not repair iPads. They exchange them for a fee. See below. Set up a Genius appointment at your local Apple shop: Genius Appointment.
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit
