When the apple store replaces my iphone will they see all of my photos etc?

I'm getting my iphone replaced next week and i need to know if they take the data/memory card out or whatever & view your photos etc?

i'm a bit worried because my elder sister has been using this phone for the past 2/3 months and works for a law firm, hence has screenshotted confidential documents onto the phone which she signed a contract saying she would not show/disclose any of that information. The phone is broken and does not turn on, therefore there's no way this data can be deleted before the replacement.could anyone explain what they do in the apple store with the memory/data from your phone when they replace it and give you a new one?

I'm guessing when you take it in you could just explain the situation (or at least say "I would rather the pictures aren't viewed.") They should respect your wishes.

They don't have time to look through your stuff man. Just tell them that you have important data on your phone and ask them to transfer it to your new phone.they'll do it right away infront of you

Apple will send you a replacement phone and will refurbish your broken phone in order to use the parts or refurbish the whole unit to give to someone else as a replacement.

They will clean the memory board and all data on the phone as soon as they receive it in their repair centre, so I wouldn't worry about any confidential data falling into the wrong hands.

  • When Apple replaces your iphone, is the new one really a used one? I recently got my iphone 5 replaced, and when the guy was getting the new one he just took one out of a plain white box. I'm just wonderingly if that iphone was used before and went through a whole process to be fixed and restored to looking brand new.
  • When apple replaces a broken iphone, do you get to keep the old broken one? The back camera on my iPhone 4s broke (just stopped working), so I called Apple and I have an appointment set up to replace the old phone with a brand new one. But, I want to know if when they give me the new phone, will they let me keep the old one? The phone still works fine except for the camera. In fact, it's almost perfect. And obviously I want to sell the old one on ebay to make a boat load.
  • What happens to all the photos etc on my iphone after my contract ends? I'm with O2 and my 24month contract is finished next week. I've chosen not to continue with o2 as I'm giving my mum my phone and she will use her own o2 sim. So what happens to all my photos, videos, apps etc on my iphone 4s? Will everything still be there, just won't be able to phone or text?
