Will Apple replace my iPhone 4s?

Ok, true story. My 4 year old daughter slipped and fell into a creek, and I had to jump in to pull her out. She is totally fine, but alas, my iPhone 4s was forgotten in my pocket. It was dead when it went in, in it's Otter Box and I had hope- I put it in rice for a couple days, nothing. Just tried again to plug it in and it made the plugged in sound and it makes the screen shot sound when I push those buttons, but the screen does not come on. The weird part is, the indicators that I can see are not trigged. No pink at all. Don't know if it was the Otter Box or what, but my question is, are there more sensors that lie unseen on the inside of the phone that Apple will see if I try to take it in? (Its still in it's 1 year warranty) Let me know if you need more info.

There are internal sensors, from what I understand.

There r other sensor
and your screen is dead i'm sure the warranty don't cover that either

Doubt it if it's water damaged, even if the indicator isn't pink.

They should if its still under warranty

Sorry, No:/

they will not replace the phone unless there was manufacturing defects with the phone.

Hit up customer support with an email or walk into an apple store and tell them your story. If all else fails it sounds like your LCD died and you would need to get that replaced. Apple can fix it for a costly price or you can go to third party companies such as iFixIt or Milliamp.

Best of luck!

I'm glad she's OK! Yes, there are internal sensors as well (if there weren't, people might try to replace the ones they can get at easily). Officially, Apple won't fix problems that aren't their fault, but there's no harm in asking - go to the Apple store and tell them about your heroics - who knows, they just might go for it!

  • Will Apple replace my iPhone? Got an iPhone 5 yesterday and noticed a chip and 2 tiny scratches on the bottom right of the handset… I've had it in a case the whole time too. If I take this back to Apple tomorrow, will they replace mine for an undamaged phone? Its not the scratch that I worry about it's the fact that it costs a lot of money and would like to receive the phone unblemished!
  • Will apple replace my iphone if? So i got a iphone 4s on craigslist. And they told me the led flash won't turn off. And it doesn't even when i power it off. But i looked on apple.com and entered serial number and it still has warranty till 2014. Will they replace the iphone 4s. Or do i have to have them transfer the warranty to me or does it not matter?
  • 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.
