How to get Apple to replace my iPhone?
I dropped my phone in the toilet but i turned it off right away and didn't use it for a few days. I even put it in rice to dry. It works, I can feel the phone vibrate and it sounds off as well. The only problem is that the screen has lines on it and I can't seen the screen at all. I can still turn it off and on too. Is there anyway I can get a new iPhone replacement? I've checked the water damage indicator on my phone but it hasn't turned on. Can i just tell them that i dropped or something? I'm also still eligible for the warranty since its only been 5 months since I got my iPhone.
The only problem is "I can't see the screen at all"… Lmao
Warranty coverage is for defects in workmanship, not accidents caused by the user. Apple will not replace your phone.
Pay lots of money for repairs…
They have more than one sensor that detects water contamination - if any are activated, the warranty is void.
The "Putting it in rice" stunt is an urban myth; it dries the outside but can't magically extract water from the interior & as long as the battery remained connected, the phone would be suffering ongoing damage due to electrolytic corrosion. (Turning off has no effect, the battery is still providing power to the circuit board).
Electronics that have been damp with power applied have a distinctive appearance, it looks like they are growing mould. 
Apples one year limited warranty does not cover accidental, cosmetic, or liquid damage or damage due to unauthorized modifications. If you dropped it into a pile of **** you better clean it real good. See if your phone provider warranty can cover it otherwise see if you can find a local electronics/video game stores that repairs phones and tablets.
Unless you have AppleCare +, your basic warranty (which does NOT cover water damage or accidental damage), was voided the second it touched the water.
So no, you can't tell Apple you dropped your phone, since it would not be covered anyway. And again you are NOT covered under your basic warranty for anything other than hardware or software "OS" defects.
You could enquire about it & likely would have to pay for any replacement. Unless you had AppleCare the standard warranty does not cover accidental drops.
They'll replace it, but not for free, since user carelessness is not covered by the warranty.
And again you are NOT covered under your basic warranty for anything other than hardware or software "OS" defects.
- Will apple replace my iphone 4 for free? I dropped my iPhone 4 in some water. If I go into the Apple Store and say that I don't know what is wrong with it. They can't turn it on even if it's connected. So if I don't say anything and just play dumb… will they give me a new one for free?
- Will Apple replace my broken iPhone 5 with another iPhone 5 or an iPhone 5S? The power button is no longer working on my iPhone 5, and there's 1 year warranty on it. If I were to being it to Apple, would they give me a new iPhone 5, or a 5S? I was just wondering because the iPhone 5 is no longer made or sold by Apple.
