Will apple replace my iphone when I'm not covered by insurance/warranty?

I was sitting at the kitchen table looking through Wikipedia with the phone laid on the table, white lines appeared on my screen and the touch screen doesn't respond to anything. I'm abroad staying at my partners place, he's at work for another 6hours… I have no way to contact him or apple about the problem. This happened before with my old phone but I had dropped it and I had to pay £180 for a new replacement handset… Apart from 7months later this one has done it for no reason! I'm feeling really freaking upset, I'm still stuck in my mobile contract until the end of the year, I'm abroad for another few weeks. Will I have to pay for a new handset? I really don't have the money to pay for a new handset, I'm absolutely devastated. If I had dropped it I could only blame myself but this happened for no reason!

Turn it off and back on, if you didn't drop it then that sounds strange. You can also try restoring it back to factory (back it up first of course).

  • Will Apple replace my iPhone 5 if I don't have insurance? I've had my iPhone since Christmas and I didn't get the insurance on it. The top power button doesn't work, will Apple replace my iPhone even though I don't have the insurance? Or will I have to pay full price for a whole new iPhone?
  • Will A Stuck SIM Card Be Covered By IPhone 5s Warranty? Recently I got an Iphone 5s, and, like an idiot, tried to cut the over-sized sim, and now it's stuck in the phone. If the Apple geniuses can't remove it, then will it be covered by the warranty?
  • Is sticky lock on iPhone4s covered under warranty? I purchased my iPhone 4s from NTelos in October of last year (about 10 months ago). The phone has no other damage or issues other than a sticky lock button. Is a replacement or repair covered by the iPhone's 1 year warranty? If not, would my phone provider (NTelos) be able to repair or help me find someone who can?
  • Is a contract iPhone 5 covered by Apple Warranty for the first year? I bought a iPhone 5 handset from Gumtree which was someone's "unwanted" upgrade from 3. But now the speaker has just packed in. Is the phone covered by Apple since it's still obviously under a year old?
