Will 4s replacements still cost $199?

Got caught in a rain storm while riding my bike. My water resistant Incase case couldn't keep my phone dry and water got in. Phone works fine but no external sound. I'm not buying the 5 buy simply want to replace my 4s (just bought it). The apple tech told me that it would cost $199.99 for a new phone which is very cheap considering my phone was brand new. Now the 5 has emerged will the 4s replacement still cost $199.99? My phone is still under warranty until Nov but with the red water indicators Apple wont touch it. So if I cant get it for a reduced price would I be able to buy applecare the second time around?

Thank you very much. I don't care about the price I jsut want my 4s to work like it did new. Will applecare cover accidental damage?

    Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th generation
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

    You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.

  • TS1559 I updated my 4S and now I cannot access my wifi due to a glitch in your software.  I have reset, and restored my phone numerous times and my wifi button is still greyed out.   Your phone tech blamed my phone and said it would cost $199 to replace. 

    I cannot turn my wifi on.  The button is greyed out.  This problem started after I update my software.  First tech I spoke to said it was my problem because I chose to update the software and since I was out of warrenty, I would have to pay $19.99 for service agreement before anyone would talk to me.  The next tech admitted this had happened to ssomeone else and stated it was a problem with my phone triggered by the software update, and because I was 57 days out of warrently, it would cost me $199 for replacement phone.   So basically, anyone that chooses to upgrade their software, risk messing up their access to wifi and have to pay the developer of the software to fix the problem, their program caused.  Does anyone have a clue how to fix this.  Why wasn't I informed of the risks that could occur if I updated my device.  I hNave reset, restored my device with no change.  I have even reset to original with all my data deleted.  Now what??

    You are correct. This is a very bad hardware error of the WiFi Chip on the Logic Board. The Chip malfunctioned or was previously damaged, but the initialization error was not detected until you Update/Restore the iPhone recently. The Problem was there, just not detected yet. The repair or replacement of the WiFi Chip is very difficult. Because Apple does not repair iPhone 4S, they only replace iPhone 4S, it costs $199.

  • Dropped my macbook will apple replace for a cost

    dropped my macbook pro off my desk it still works but there is a noise that sounds like the fan will apple replace the laptop for a cost the same way they do with the iPhone ?

    Yes, Apple has an Out of Warranty replacement, but frankly you'd be better off buying a more current generation of iPhone.

  • Will apple replace a broken screen if the iPod itself still works fine?

    I dropped my iPod and the screen is totally shattered but the iPod itself still works with everyday use and it still syncs with my computer. Will apple replace this for free?

    Apple does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee (damage is not covered under the iPod's warranty); see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
    There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair".

  • Will Apple replace my frayed iPad USB cord if my warranty is still active?

    My iPad USB cable is frayed and does not charge my iPad. It does charge my iPhone 4 fine, but when I plug it into my iPad it says "Not Charging" in the status bar. My warranty is still good, so will Apple replace the cord? Anyone experience this problem?

    Take it to your local Apple retailer to ask. I believe they will replace it for you.

  • Will they replace my iphone 5s battery at the genius bar and if so, for what cost?

    will they replace my iphone 5s battery at the genius bar at my appointment, and if so for what cost?

    You will have to ask if they are equipped for that.
    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:

  • My iPhone 4 ( still under warranty ) has a dead gyroscope. Will Apple replace my iPhone for free?

    I recently upgraded to IOS 7. Once I upgrade I noticed that the gyroscope in my phone was acting strange. Just recently it went completely dead. If I take my phone to the Apple store and they verify it as a hardware issue will they replace my iPhone? It is still under warranty. Also since Apple stopped making the iphone 4 will they give me a newer version? Thanks

    If  your warranty is still valid and there is no evidence of abuse (water damage, dropping, etc.) your phone will be replaced for free with the same model refurbished iPhone 4.

  • Will Apple replace iPad charger? Still under warranty.

    Will Apple replace IPad charger for me? Still under warranty.

    If it's not working as a result of a built-in fault, yes. If there's damage that you've caused, probably not.

  • Will Apple replace NVIDIA graphics card for free?

    I've read a lot of discussions on here about the failing NVIDIA cards and Apple having to replace the entire motherboard. Some users have had the experience of Apple replacing the card free of charge, others have had to pay a hefty price. Is there any logic to Apple's discretion of the charge? If so, how do I navigate the "genius" system to avoid a fee? I am, of course, interested in paying as little as possible as this is obviously a manufacturing defect and the costs should be covered by the manufacturer; if there is not going to be a TOTAL RECALL!

    My MBP is only 7 months and its health is already 85%!  Please let me know!! Thank You!!
    Not quit sure if we are are talking about one or two batteries.  Where are you getting "health id"  ??? numbers.
    Non-the-less you can option click on the battery icon menulet in the upper right. What is the stated condition?
    You can recalibrate the batery if you have never done it.

    Otherwise I would take it to an Apple Retail Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider  (AASP) for evaluation, or call your nearest Apple Contact Center. Visit the Genius Bar at the Apple Retail Store,  make a reservation.

  • If you jailbreak your ipod touch and crack the screen will the warrenty still work? Also, would the warrenty fix the screen?

    If you jailbreak your ipod touch and crack the screen will the warrenty still work? Also, would the warrenty fix the screen? Would it cost money? Its a 5th gen.

    Once you jail break Apple won't help with the machine. I'm not even sure if they'll honor an 'out of warranty' replacement.
    Accidental damage, which is what a broken screen is, starts at $149 US

    Will Apple replace an iPhone if the phone has a crack? Phone is still under original warranty. Crack is about half and inch toward the top. Does not affect view or applications.
