Why is it $300  to repair an iPhone 5 smashed screen in Australia yet $150 in US?? Is this the famous Australia tax?

Was I quoted correctly here in AUST that the repair for my iphone 5 screen is $300+ ????
Is it only $150 in the US ??

In the US, some but not all Apple stores have the ability to replace the screen only on the iPhone 5 for $150.  If the store does not have this option or if more than just the screen is damaged, the Out of Warranty replacement cost is $269.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

    Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
    The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
    But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
    This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

    Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
    My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem.  Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source.  Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all.  In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
    Is there any help for this affliction?

  • What should I reasonably be paying to repair an iPhone 5 screen that has shattered?

    Screen shattered on daughter's iPhone 5 after dropping on tile.  Have had quotes of $267 and $195 thus far.   Is this the best I can hope for?  Someone suggested going to the Apple Store and seeing what they might offer me for a trade?  Any suggestions?  We paid about $300 for it as it is a 32 GB. 

    Indeed. She did have a cover on it...just not one of the heavy duty ones.    I thought it was more like $80-100 to replace the screen, but I guess that is only for 4s and earlier.  Talk about a rude awakening.  Thanks again.

  • How much will it cost to repair an iPhone 5c screen

    I cracked my iPhone 5c screen how much will it cost to replace it?

    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

  • My iphone 4 screen went black and will not come back on, the screen lights up but is still black and will not show anything on the screen, it still vibrates though. help

    my iphone 4 screen went black and will not show anything on it, the phone still vibrates and lights up but the screen is black, HELP.

    I have a similar problem.  I restored my iPhone 5 to the latest available OS.  After completing the process the phone never restarted.  The phone was fully charged when I restored it but now refuses to charge past the red battery icon.  I have been able to get the phone in UFD mode several times and have been able to load the new OS on the phone.  The Apple logo does come on and the software fully loads.  iTunes tells me the phone will restart but never does.  I left it to charge all night but it never appeared to load the battery.  This morning I went to the Grand Central Terminal apple store for help.  A woman at the store plugged the phone in but it never charged.  She absolutely refused to believe that I got my phone in UFD mode and loaded any software on.  I don't think it is a battery issue.  The only solution I was given was to buy a new phone.  Repairing it was out of the question.  At this point the phone is completely useless.  Thanks in advance for the help.

  • Iphone 5 Screen is Frozen Connection Timeout Error Connection to this app has timed out

    I upgraded to IOS 7 just a few hours before my Iphone 5 screen froze and I cannot make changes -  I have a Connection Timeout Error with Connection to this app has timed out.  With Ok in blue.  The screen doesn't respond,  I can turn off the phone, tap OK or do anthing.  Any advice on how I can reset or fix?

    Check for any anti-virus or anti-spyware software you might have. Temporarily disable that to continue. Normally this is what will cause a timeout. I assume you have a good Internet connection?

  • Just repaired cracked iPhone 4 screen and now part of the screen isn't working.

    A few days ago, I cracked my iPhone 4's screen pretty badly. I was having absolutely no trouble with the screen after I cracked it, aside from the crack, of course. I just got the screen repaired yesterday and now the bottom left part of the screen sometimes doesn't work. When I'm using the keypad, the following characters are affected:
    RDFCX (and sometimes E) 4 ; , } ~
    Also, sometimes, when I press that part of the screen, it's as if the phone doesn't recognize my touch. This is affecting scrolling, the ability to move the cursor, and makes it hard for me to unlock my phone because sometimes the bar along the bottom won't slide. However, when I select apps using that portion of the screen on the home screen, it works just fine.
    This started yesterday, about 2 hours after I got my screen fixed, then went away on its own a few hours later, and came back this morning.
    Does anyone know what this problem is/ what I should do about it? I'm definitely going to go back into the store that fixed my phone and see if they can correct it.
    **I did not get my phone fixed at the Apple store, I went to a store called BuyNCell which specializes in repairs of Apple and Blackberry products. I got my screen repaired as well as changed the casing on my phone to white.
    Hopefully someone can help explain to me what's going on. Thank you!!
    If it really matters, here's what my phone looked like before it was repaired. Yikes!

    This may sound crazy, but download any free app.  This often "shocks" the other apps into working.

  • What is the cheapest way to repair a iPhone 4 screen?

    I recently dropped my iphone 4 and i was thinking of trading it in for my upgrade but first I wanted too fix the screen.

    You do know that Apple doesn't take trade ins, right?
    You can get an out of warranty replacement of your iPhone for $149.  If you go with a 3rd party, you will forfeit any future support on that phone by Apple, and will forfeit your ability to purchase an out of warranty exchange.  This will definitely decrease it's trade in value.

  • Which Apple stores are now able to repair/replace iPhone 5s screens?

    Many different articles have been written over the past few weeks announcing the ability of Apple Stores to repair 5c phones on site for the $149 charge.  The articles have indicated that some stores are presently able to repair the 5s, but not all of them.  Which ones are able to repair or replace the screens for a 5s?
