What happens to an iPhone after it is exchanged at an Apple Store?
I recently exchanged an iPhone after it was diagnosed with a defective battery. AppleCare took care of it and I was given a new iPhone to replace it. I'm just wondering what happens to these returned iPhones. Are they fixed and brought back out to the market for resale? Can anyone from Apple let me know?
Having been a victim of identity theft, I am concerned at the information (pictures, videos, financial info, passwords, etc.) that were previously stored there. I did an "Erase All Content and Settings" before returning it but I'm concerned that maybe someone can somehow restore all that information.
Thanks.
When it comes to deletion of all content, would you know if anyone can recover the data previously stored even though it is refurbished? The phone was generally in good condition (just needs a new battery).

Apple doesn't do exchanges. Sell your 4S & use the proceeds to purchase an iPhone 5.

I like the new iOS 7 for iphone... But i think it's not a good idea to allow switch the iphone on flight mode when it is locked.. What happens if your iphone is stolen or lost? You couldn't be able to locate it using find my iphone... Can i remove this from the bottom menu?
And have your phone set to require a passcode before it can be accessed.

What happens when the iPhone needs an activation and it doesn't respond? Then it asks me to restore it but due to an unknown error (-1) the iPhone can't be restored.
Thank you for your response. However, I have done that plenty of times and each time I try to restore my phone, it extracts the software and then when it says restoring with the loading bar, an error message comes up saying an unknown error has occurred.

HT201317 What happens to photos stored after 30 days on icloud?
What happens to photos stored after 30 days on icloud?
Photos are deleted from PhotoStream in the cloud after 30 days, regardless of the number of photos stored there.
Once synced to your device, they will remain there indefinitely until you hit 1000 photos in the PhotoStream album on the phone, at which point the oldest photos will be deleted and newer photos will replace them. -

What happened to my photos after upgrading to IOS 8
What happened to my photos after upgrading to IOS 8.0.2? How do I recover them?j
Hi arnpa,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you've updated your iOS device to iOS 8, the photos should still be on the device. The photos will be organized differently than they were previously, though.
In iOS 8, the Photos app organizes photos by date instead of by device or photo source. Here are some questions you might have about Photos after updating to iOS 8.
Where can I find the Camera Roll?
The Photos app in iOS 8 doesn't separate photos and videos based on how they were added to your device. Instead of a Camera Roll, your photos and videos (even ones that you didn't take with or save to your device) are organized by date in Photos.
When you open the Photos app and tap the Photos tab, you'll see your photos and videos listed by Moments, Collections, and Years. Tap Moments to see individual photos organized by date and location, tap Collections to zoom out to a more condensed view, and then tap Years to zoom out even more. Tap a collection or year to zoom back in.
And you'll now have a Recently Added album, which shows the photos and videos added to your device in the last 30 days, organized by date. To see your Recently Added album, tap Albums > Recently Added.
Where can I find the My Photo Stream album?
In iOS 8, there's no longer a separate My Photo Stream album. Instead, photos that were in the My Photo Stream album are now in the Recently Added album.
If you were using iPhoto for iOS, make sure that you migrated your photos.
From:
Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8
If the photos are no longer on your device, and you backed up to iCloud or iTunes, you may need to restore from a backup:
Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

What happens if an iPhone charger receive a high voltage, would the iPhone get burnt or the charger?
What happens if an iPhone charger receive a high voltage, would the iPhone get burnt or the charger?
"If I charged my iPhone with a charger and the electric voltage was 260V"
Why would you do that? The power adapter has protective circuits at both the input and output. If you attached 260VAC to the input, it is likely to shut down, and can be reset by unplugging the power adapter, and plugging it into an AC outlet with the proper voltage. I'm sure you have plenty of follow-on questions ("how about 400VAC, 2000VAC, a million billion trillion volts AC), and I won't entertain those.
