Replacement iphone4 from apple store locked or unlocked?

I just went to apple store and get the replacement iphone4 from apple store, and my old iphone4 was unlocked, so the replacement iphone4 that apple gave me is locked or unlocked？

If the iPhone has, subsequent to the original purchase, been legitimately unlocked (as happens in UK )by the carrier, then a replacement either as a warranty or out of warranty will be unlocked as long as the transaction is carried out in original country.
However make sure the Genius is clearly aware that the iPhone is unlocked
I have replaced an iPhone4 in warranty and replacement was correctly locked whilst a 3G was unlocked by O2 and the out of warranty replacement was correctly unlocked

HT3939 iPhone 5s T-Mobile contract free version from Apple Store: LOCKED or UNLOCKED?

If i buy an iPhone 5s T-Mobile contract free version from Apple Store will it be LOCKED or UNLOCKED? Can i use it Europe with a local carrier? Cannot find a clear answer to this question anywhere! Thank You!

According to a chat with an Apple support representative, the iPhone 5s is not yet sold fully unlocked. But it is unlocked for international use. This means that it won't work on any GSM carrier in the US other than T-Mobile. But it will work with any GSM carrier outside of the US using a SIM card. You should make sure the frequency bands are compatible with your local carrier.
See chat:

Hi Destiny
Thank for contacting the Apple Online Store. I hope you are well. How may I assist you?
I placed an order for 2 iPhone 5s
this is the T-Mobile version, so I'm paying full upfront price... almost $2000 altogether
My uderstanding is that these phones are factory unlocked, but the wording at the website is a little misleading. I want to verify that they are indeed fully factory unlocked because I plan on uisng them with AIO Wireless
This may not be the option for your then. These iPhones come preinstalled with a T-mobile for use domestically and can be used internationally with a local GSM carrier.
You would need to contact AIO wireless directly to see if it would be compatible.
so they aren't truly unlocked?
They are unlocked in the sense that they can be used internationally. I can see how that would be confusing. The option you are looking for would be the contract free and SIM free iPhone 5s.
We have not released the unlocked iPhone at this time.
We do have the iPhone 5c unlocked available. Have you considered that option?
I have an iPhone 5, so the 5c isn't attractive for me
Do you have any idea when the iPhone 5s would be released contract free and SIM free?
At this time we do not have a release time frame. I'm sorry I don't have more information available for you.
I recommend checking apple.com/hotnews for updates on it's release.
ok, thank you.
You're welcome. I apologize for the confusion.
Is there anything else I can assist you with?
This is all, thank you. I will cancel my order.
Do you know how to cancel your order?
yes
Excellent! It has been a pleasure.
Thank you for choosing the Apple Store. If you have any additional questions, please chat with us again.

Unlocked iphone4S from Apple store (Thailand)

I have unlocked iPhone4S which bough from Apple store in Thailand. I will move to stay in USA for few years, How can my iPhone work there ? I don't want any contract paid-plan. My place will be Menomonie, WI 54751, Verizon will work ?

I know you said the iPhone you have is "unlocked", but what you have to determine or have the Apple store or Verizon check for you, is that the phone you have will work on the Verizon network. Only certain iPhone models will work on the Verizon network, regardless of whether it is "unlocked" or not. Verizon should be able to enter the phone's serial number into their system and determine if it is compatible with their network.
As for a contract, you shouldn't need to have one if you are providing your own equipment.

Replacement iPhone4 from apple should be locked or unlocked?

I have an AT&T locked iPhone 4(Out of Contract June'11). I found some yellow spots & home button issues, took it to the apple store. Apple agreed to give a new Handset.
My question is, this new set will still be AT&T locked or completely unlocked one since its a new set from Apple and its no more under contract?

You will get a like-for-like exchange under warranty. If your current phone is carrier locked to AT&T, your replacement phone will be carrier locked to AT&T. If you do an out of warranty replacement, you will still get an iPhone locked to AT&T. If you want an officially unlocked iPhone, you will have to purchase such separately.

Just bought new replacement iphone from apple store and less than two hours later, the screen went blurry and I can barely see anything. Phone still functions fine though.

Just bought a new replacement phone at the apple store and as soon as I got home, vertical lines came up through the screen and now it's extremely blurry. All the functions of the phone still work fine and I really can't see anything except a small part of the screen at the top. I called the apple store and he told me to put the phone in recovery mode on my computer and the restore and update it. I did this and I can tell the phone has restored yet it is still extremely blurry and I can't see anything to type it in. Is there anything I could do with this? The apple store is over an hour away and saving another trip down there would be great. Thanks

Bad luck. Take ti back.

What is the iphone 4s front glass replacement cost from apple store?

I would like to know how much will it cost to replace broken fronm glass of Iphone 4s? I just bought it one month ago!

Hello,
Apple are unable to replace the front screen on iPhone 4 and i'd imagine it'd be the same with the iPhone 4S, this is because it causes internal damage to the hardware inside the iPhone. When i had my iPhone replaced, it cost me £139, for a brand new (iPhone 4, 32GB, Black) but be aware the prices may change.
Hope this helps.

I have brought an Apple iphone 4 from Apple store Arndale house for use any network, but this phone is locked with vodafone. Please suggest, how to unlock this phone to use all other network in other country?

Dear Team,
i had brought a APPLE IPHONE4 from APPLE STORE, MANCHESTER ARNDALE. new cannon street mall.
when i was visiting for purchasing this device the sales team told me that the phone is unlocked and can use all around the world with any other network when i'm trying to use it other network it showed that NO SERVICE(at network issue) and then i made a call 2 apple customer support so the executive told me that this device has been locked with VODAFONE UK network. this was the FAKE commitment of sales team also its a CHEATING i must say that.
i'm very much disapointed and dissatiesfied with the APPLE STORE sales team...
kindely look toward and give me solution.
thanks,
regard,
Nishant Kumar

I had read that thanks but many happy owners of locked iPhones
claim to have bought from an Apple store they do not actually mean
Apple Retail
Arndale Centre is one of the largest Malls in Europe and every vendor of iPhones is there
Apple retail in UK ONLY sell unlocked iPhones unless you opt for a contract at a reduced price
not something you can do accidently as in sim free in US
But thanks for you guidance

HT201328 i brought my iphone4 from apple retail store in UK. why was it locked by O2?

i brought my iphone4 from apple retail store in UK. why was it locked by O2?

Warranty on iPhone is not international, but valid only in country of
original sale. Since you purchased the iPhone in Australia, your warranty
is valid only in Australia. You must either personally return the iPhone
to Australia for evaluation and possible replacement or sent it to someone
in Australia to take into Apple for the evaluation. Apple will not accept
international shipments for repair nor will Apple ship out of the country
after replacement.
Sorry to be the bearer of this news, but it is the way iPhone warranty and
replacement has always worked.

Having trouble with international sim. Purchased phone unlocked, no contract from Apple store in Australia. Living in Denmark now and phone won't accept Danish sims. Guys in phone shop say phone is actually locked. Any hints would be welcome.

Purchased phone (3GS) unlocked, outright so no contract from Apple store in Australia.
Living in Denmark now and phone won't accept Danish sims. Guys in phone shop say phone is actually locked and he doesn't understand how it could be if it was supposed to be off contract. Software updates have been done regularly. They think that it shouldn't come up "connect to iTunes" when the Danish sim is installed.
Any hints would be welcome.

Hi Peter
Yes - it was from a proper Apple Store.
I only purchased the unit - no special requests and then went to O2 and hooked up with a scolling monthly sim.
I used that sim for about 6 months and then moved out here. I took on two PAYG sims, one for Qatar and one for UAE but neither are accepted.
When connect to my mbp, the phone screen shows the iphone connect cable and iTunes picks it up. The message then says " must insert original sim to register" My point - the original sim, was completely independant from the phone but I cant get past this point to do anything further.
Any thoughts?

My Iphone4 replaced by iphone4s from Apple!?

Hey guys
I wanted to know if anyone else has had thier iphone4 replaced by iphone4S from Apple!!?
I have had too many problems with my iphone4 an got it replaced 4 times from apple store in manchester, but each time there was a problem with the phone!!
So i had enough and called iphone uk apple care line yesterday, women down the phone said i can only reccommend just to go store and get it replaced, unless you want to talk to a senior collegue an make a complaint!! An i did!!!
The 2nd women offered me a brand new iphone 4s with one year warrenty!!
So she told me that she will send me the new phone deliverd an i will have to send my old phone back to them, ( therefore took my bank card details) just incase they think i dont return my old phone.
But i just hope this new iphone4s is better than iphone4 an i dont have the same problems!!
Ps, 00800<was the phone code number! Is that US!?

Did you ask for an unlocked iphone?
What does the receipt say?

I bought yesterday online an Iphone from apple store Canada and there said that was Unlocked but on my email came a message " IPHONE 4S BLACK 16GB GSM- CAN". Does It means that this item is Unlocked?

I bought yesterday online an Iphone from apple store Canada (http://store.apple.com/ca/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone/iphone4s) and there said that was Unlocked but on my email came a message " IPHONE 4S BLACK 16GB GSM- CAN". Does It means that this item is Unlocked?
Was shipped today, October 8, but I don't know if this "GSM-CAN" means taht is locked or unlocked!
I BOUGHT AN UNLOCKED!

"GSM-CAN" means that it was a GSM iPhone sold in Canada. It doesn't indicate anything regarding lock status. If you purchased the iPhone from the online Apple Store, then to the best of my knowledge, they don't sell anything other than unlocked iPhones.
Regards.
