Was just at pc apple store. I got my new replacement for stuck pixels! When i was waiting there was a lady who brought in her dropped iPhone 4 totally dented and shattered. The rep that helped her told her that she would pay 219 replacement phone instead of retail. What amazed me more was when she came back, she secretly told her that the replacement would be free just cause she was nice. Intense. Now I'm not scared of dropping my phone! Ha!

AFAIK ther is no JB or unlock for your FW yet. chances are he's wasting your time.

but if you have free time and your boss is paying why not try? $ back guarantee?

tried it yesterday, it was a fail. the guy had a dozen packages of new Geveys, tried them all. the iPhone is now an iPod.

They did the same to me haha. I think it was $229, though, for any kind of replacement. (Not only cracked screen.)


I'm thinking of buying the additional year of coverage through the AppleCare Protection Plan. First year of coverage will run out in November. Did anyone buy it for their phone?

like i said, it's the boss's phone and as far as i'm concerned, he can stare at it and let it remind him what happens when he decides to try the tech thing.

edit: god damn, just as i typed this he walks in and hands me his new phone, a Blackberry.

My friend found a broken iP4 on his way to SFU. Brought it to the Apple Store with his mom, and they replaced for free too. Mom was happy to get a new phone

My friend throws his phone on the ground when he's pissed drunk. He smashed his iPhone. The glasses was completely shattered all around.

Brought it to Apple Store and somehow charmed his way into getting it replaced for free.

shouldn't they look up the serial for customer info, or you would think that the original owner has reported it lost. so bizarre and lucky.

My location services/check-ins isn't working. Does anyone know how to fix it?

I tried googling it, but no luck. The "Location Services" and every app is on. But my facebook check ins doesn't seem to work.

The "location services status icon" is always on and I can't seem to turn that thing off too. Can anyone help me out? TIA.

How much you figure the price will drop for the iphone4 once the 5 comes out?
I see some drops on CL already....saw a few $400 32gb floating around...

debating if i should get one now or wait around for the 5...

^ I don't know why anyone would get a 4 with the 5 so close to release. At least wait for the 5, and if you still want a 4 there's likely going to be deals galore.

Yes it's $1.65. I think it's a back to school promo until September.

You do have a to sign up with a 3 year contract with a $50+ plan.

I'm taking my iPhone 4 in for a replacement due to a home button issue where I have to tap a few times to have it work. My iPhone is jailbroken...will I need to remove the jailbreak or do they just swap it there without checking? Thanks

- right click on your phone in the itunes menu
- backup phone
- click on the restore option
- wait for firmware to download & install

You should have a factory restored phone once it's done. Book an appointment for the genius bar on the apple website @ the store of your choosing. Show up & explain the problem and you should be out of there with a brand new phone within 5 minutes.

I had the same issue and that's how long it took to get a new replacement.

Do they lock the phone to the same carrier you had?
Can you opt for an unlocked version for additional fee?
What about getting an upgrade to a 32gb for an additional fee?

I have a locked iphone 4 16gb, but would like an unlocked 32gb...
