Will apple be offering a trade in scheme for iphone4 to 4s for us still on lengthy contracts in the uk?

Will apple be offering a trade in scheme for iphone4 to 4s for us still on lengthy contracts in the uk?

I am not looking to terminate my current contract and neither am I complaining about still being tied into a contract.  I received my white i4 for free on my current contract.
My question was maybe misunderstood.
What I was trying to get at was, would apple take my current phone as a part ex? I would be more than happy to pay the excess.
Other options would include selling my phone on eBay or to online companies that will buy it, add the rest of the cash then walk into an apple store and buy the 4s.
But this method isn't very practical as I will be without a phone for a few days, whereas if apple offered this sort of scheme, my downtime without a phone would literally be the time it takes to switch the sim in their store.

  • Will Apple ever offer 8pen as an alternative keyboard?

    Will Apple ever offer 8pen (www.8pen.com) as an alternative keyboard on the iPhone?

    First of all, no poster here is privy to Apple's iOS development plans, so we cannot possible know what they may or may not include (and any member who may legitimately know something would be restricted by a non-disclosure agreement to not discuss it).
    However, I doubt it.  Custom keyboards are not an option on an iOS device as the operating system restricts those sorts of key OS features to what is built in only (rather than let developers change out or alter basic or core features of the OS).
    Since 8pen is basically a handwriting/gesture recognition app, it would be up to 8pen to work at developing an iOS app, but it would not be able to act as a universal alternative keyboard to replace the base iOS one.

    Yes, if it is an 8G model. You will receive a refurbished one for that price.

  • Will Apple stores in Germany replace your iPhone if there is internal hard drive problems from a phone from the US. I am studying abroad and won't be home until December

    Will Apple stores in Germany replace your iPhone if there is internal hard drive problems from a phone from the US. I am studying abroad and won't be home until December

    You can try, but the iPhone warranty terms state that Apple "may" restrict warranty/service to country of original purchase...key word here is "may".
    Good luck.

  • Will Apple Ever Offer Music @ ITMS in Apple Lossless or Other Such Format?

    It's galling to me when I look at the stacks of full-quality albums and CDs I've purchased over the years and then consider the apparent "way of the future" which is lower-quality music purchased on the ITMS and other (more lame) music stores.
    I am 99.9% sure that the reason is the record companies who fear any loss of control and who are hard at work writing new viruses to infect our PCs and Macs with if we dare buy music the "old fashioned" way via CD. Sure, there are ways around those DRM schemes to control our computers, but it just seems that once again, the consumer is the slave to the corporation's desire to control everything at the expense of the consumer's rights.
    The day of the audiophile is fast dying I think. Music on ITMS should be sold (as an option) in Apple Lossless format or some other lossless format so music lovers can then convert them into whatever format and size that best suits their needs as music lovers and not the shadowy corporate thugs who fear every customer and every digit they don't have complete control over.
    I think Apple has done a spectacular job getting us this far and I hope Steve Jobs and Apple will continue to push the dinosaurs over at the Fascist Recording States who control most of the artists and most of the music.
    One promising sign is artists who are banding together to sell their music directly to us, their fans. I look forward to a day when artists will control their own fates and their own music and we will be able to download our music at full quality. Yes, there will be piracy, just as there always has been, but we should err on the side of freedom and not control. A way for artists to be compensated can be figured out and in the long run and, I am sure, they would be MUCH better compensated than they are now in the corporate stables where hugely popular stars often retire penniless because of the egregious contracts imposed on them by their consciousless corporate masters.
    How do you think the future of digital music will unfold?

    I'm not really looking for a reliable answer as such, just offering my thoughts on the subject and wishing out loud . . . user2user.
    And if anyone has anything interesting to say on the subject, I'd love to hear their thoughts as well. I think Apple should offer lossless recordings, don't you?
    . . . but I think I understand why they don't at this point.
    I know that such conversations do break out here from time-to-time.

  • Will Apple allow me to trade in a CDMA iphone 5 for a GSM iphone 5?

    my family is thinking about switching carriers, but I just bought my iphone from our current carrier, Verizon. Will Apple let me trade it in for a GSM iphone that I an use for TMobile?

    You can only return it to the Apple Store if it was originally purchased there.  If you are within the timeframe for the Apple Store return policy, you can return/exchange with no questions asked.  In the US, the policy is within 30-days if your iPhone is contracted to a carrier or 14 days if your iPhone is unlocked.  With a carrier-locked iPhone plane to spend some anount of time dealing with the carrier to get your upgrade status reset.
    Think of an auto mechanic's service bay.  You tow in a a disabled car to have it fixed.  When the repair is done, the mechanic hands you the keys to a different model with a different engine and different option package.  Great deal right?  Unfortunately, real life does not work this way.
    If you want a different model, your solution is not in the service department, but on the sales floor.  The Apple store is no different.

  • How much will Apple charge me to fix my Ipod Touch 4g? It won't turn on because I think the battery is bad, and the home button doesn't work anymore... and it's not under any warrenty anymore

    How much will Apple charge me to have my Ipod Touch 4g fixed? It won't turn on anymore more because I think the battery is probably bad, and the home button doesn't work either... its not under any warrenty either.

  • HT1998 When will Apple release an new firmware update (7.6.5 or higher) for the Airport Express/Extreme?

    I am sure most of you know how terrible the 7.6.3 firmware for the airpot express/extreme is.  I was on the phone with Apple technical support and they had admitted there are issues with this lastest firmware and confirmed they are working on it.  I know how well Apple fixes their issues however it has been over 6 months and nothing.  Because of all these issues, I have had to roll back all my airport equipment to 7.6.1 mainly to use the Airplay feature. Is there any projection for a new update or is Apple just ignoring this issue!?

    What problem are you having exactly? I have updated  to 7.6.3 and AirPlay works just fine in fact better especially with iTunes. All my wireless devices show up  as soon as they are turned on or  in range.
    Not trying to predict anything here, but if the firmware update  IS defective software, Apple probably would've fixed it by now.

  • I rented a movie on Apple TV and it started to load then froze, now I get one of two errors "error loading content" or "movie will be ready to watch in 1 minute"... after trying repeatedly ,it still won't play. The movie rental is going to expire.

    force quit app.  double click home button and slide app up and off page

  • When will apple tv add setanta sports to its online tv offering?

    When will Apple tv offer Setanta Sports as an online source of tv (soccer, rugby) sports? Setanta offers fantastic live and on demand soccer games online from around the world and should be set up the same as netflix or utube on apple tv.

  • Will I be able to trade in my boxed, unopened ipad 2 with a new ipad (3) in an Apple store in the UK?

    I have just been delivered a boxed, brand new ipad 2 today. Will apple allow me to trade in for the new ipad?

    If "new in box", the biggest hassle would likely be reshipping back if it was shipped.  Stores may or may not accept a shipped unit simply due to silly accountant's rules.

  • When will apple start releasing a good selection of proper movies?

    When will apple start releasing a good selection of proper movies? I think people are a little frustrated at the limited choice. HD seems to be ignored. I love my Apple TV but I need good quality content if I am to take it seriously.
    Does Apple look at these posts?

  • Will Apple replaced a cracked screen iPod?

    My iPod's screen is cracked. It has been for a while.
    Recently, my iPod has been not working for no reason known to me. It is not showing up in windows or itunes. Will Apple replace it? (I bought it 3 months ago, I think its still under warranty) Or will they just say that I'm only doing it because of the screen?

    My gut feel is that Apple will allege that the same abuse that caused the crack has caused these conditons. However, if you're in the U.S., call 800-275-2273 and ask. I have heard that they do occasionally bend the rules.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Only if the iPhone is in warranty. If not, you will probably have to pay for a refurbished iPhone (Apple doesn't repair iPhones and return them to you). See "Warranty & Service Pricing" > http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipho ne
