How much is apple replacement fee for new replace unit if your out of warranty?

My iPhone 4 have a defective lock button. I want it replaced. So how much it's the fee. Also do i have to go to an apple store? Could i just call apple And have them ship my replacement they could just charge me for shipping. I'll just ship the other one back.

Yes you can call APPLE for a replacement. They will charge you about $150 for the replacement.
Providing you send them back your old one.

Usually they'll just replace it. However if they feel you broke it intentionally our due to bad use habits they'll charge a few hundred.

Out of warranty it would be $150. Claiming the phone is defective will not help you because it is out of warranty and it should not take you over a year to bring it in.

  • Would apple still replace my iphone if the warranty is over? I have the iphone 4 and the lock button broke and i'm currently in libya. There isn't an apple store in libya and my warranty ends on august 19, 2013 but i'm coming back on september 2, 2013. Do you think they would make an exception for my case. I really hope someone who works at apple could help me or answer my question.
  • Will Apple still replace my iPhone 5S even though the warranty is out? Okay so the other day I noticed some very weird black particles in my photos, I tried cleaning the camera but it didn't work. I'm scheduled for a genius appointment tomorrow and my warranty is out. I don't want to have to spend $300 on getting a replacement. So would they still replace my iPhone or would I have to deal with their pathetic policies?
  • Will apple replace my iphone under warranty? I upgraded my iphone 4 to ios7 and its slow as hell. I hve changed my iphone's back once it was broken. Will apple replace my phone? Its still in warranty
  • Will Apple replace my iPhone under the included 1 year warranty? I bought my iPhone 6s Plus just 1 month or 2 ago. Well last night i plugged my phone in to charge and it wasn't registering that the charger was plugged in. I left it plugged in and today I woke up to see that not only did it not charge but my phone had lost power. I'm assuming that this is a problem with the charging port. I've tried 3 other Apple chargers and none of them work.
