The iPhone 4 stock problems are spreading to more models and the Genius Bars are forced to change the problematic terminal for one of equal or greater value, in this case, an iPhone 4S.
If a few days ago the white 16GB version of the iPhone 4 was out of stock in many physical Apple stores, now the problem extends to 16GB and 32GB black drives.
The data of how many Apple Stores suffer from these stock problems is still unknown, but it is clear that little by little it is something that will spread to all stores. If you have an iPhone 4 with a hardware problem (unprovoked), you may be in for a surprise and leave the Apple Store with an iPhone 4S totally free.

Oh, it's a pity that mine is no longer under warranty, if not, I know of a button that was going to take a stress test the sea of curious xDDDD
(kids, don't try to do that at home !!!)
My problem with the iphone 4 is the vibration. For a few days I realized that it was not vibrating. I tried uninstalling a cydia package, and it turned out that it was not. I have been reading and it is that the vibration system of the iphone breaks easily, or works in poor conditions. Today I vibrate but it was a very weak vibration.
I was wondering, how long is the warranty? I bought it from vodafone in December 2010, is it possible that it still covers it?
It should cover you although they will almost certainly hit you. You know that Apple plays "dumb" with the two-year warranty. Of course, when you go to the Apple Store remove any hint of jailbreak.
.
Regarding the vibration I agree and precisely one of the improvements that the 4S brings is that it vibrates much more than the 4. Good luck and you will tell us.
Well, surely I will take it to fix it, only that it bothers me to be without a mobile hehe
I have all SSHH saved, could I do a clean restore to 5.1.1, take the phone to fix, and when they return it to 5.0? What manual could you look at for this? And most importantly, what do I send it to vodafone or apple?
Thank you very much in advance!
The change is made in a physical Apple Store, if you send it to Apple (to Vodafone, don't even think about it), they will almost certainly repair it.
.
As for the jailbreak, you do not have the SHSH of iOS 5.0.1? https://www.actualidadiphone.com/2012/01/18/tutorial-crea-un-firmware-con-tus-shsh-y-asegurate-un-jailbreak-untethered-de-ios-5-0-1-para-siempre/
If they put you in trouble, talk to vodafone, they will process it for you.
yes, some diats without a cell phone but hey, I know they do.
I'm in 2nd year too, but what I mentioned before (stress tests) would be wear and tear, they don't cover that. your case if they should cover it.
What button ??? mind …… don't leave us like this….
I was referring to a stress test of the buttons, be it home, sleep or volume, that is, give it until it stops working due to wear and tear. that is covered by applecare (1st year)
ah, a detail, important I think ... for those who go for the 2nd year is REPAIR, not replacement. the subject of instant replacement and others is from the 1st year applecare, so I very much doubt that they will give 4S to those who are in the 2nd year, they are not obliged to give the same service, they are only obliged to repair it (and only replace if necessary) although I would like to know opinions of people who have processed warranty in 2nd year
Thank you very much mini.
Well, I have a 4 of 32 gigs, and a spot has appeared on the screen right next to the horrible volume buttons. I will have no choice but to take it to Orange, because my warranty will expire in August ...
In August, there is no cost!
Intelligent comment wherever there are .... no comments
If you want an iPhone 4S pay it !! Mangantes !! So is Spain !!
Truths hurt ...
I'll tell you when they call me to pick it up, I took it almost two weeks ago to movistar (I couldn't find the invoice to be able to go to apple directly) because the cable did not fit well in the dock (it never went well but now it comes out). It is a 4 gb iphone 32 that turns two years old in August. To tell the truth, it had crossed my mind that they give me a 4S ...
I will tell you
I went to South Park to test if it hit me and they haven't given me .. I'll try again this Saturday to see if they give me an iPhone 4s ..
Hello, could someone give me a hand? I'm still within the first year ...
Lend you a hand for what? Does your iPhone have a problem? If you have it, go to an Apple Store, it's simple.
.
If it does not have any problem, you cannot request its repair and of course you cannot manipulate the terminal because that will invalidate its guarantee forever, in addition, nobody assures that they will give you a 4S.
And if you have a 3gs and you tell him that the vibration does not work well or something that they change it for a 3gs or a 4S,
Of the 3gs iphones they still have no stock ????
The iPhone 3GS is no longer under warranty unless it is the 8GB model. They sure have stock.
Mine is 16Gb, and it is under warranty, they gave it to me 3 months ago or so, anyway I will check it by entering the number on the apple page. If you have it, would it happen ?????
What can I say to try to change it for another ???? superior clrao, THANKS for the info
If nothing happens to you, they won't do anything to you. Because of attitudes like that, the rest of us get hurt.
Hey, Nacho, you could relax a little bit, right? That you seem to work for Apple, putting everyone in the pile of legality. Who is bitter a sweet if they change a terminal. Do not come to us with monsergas and dogmas, because you are in the wrong forum and take a Lexatin or shut up forever.
Forum? This is a blog of which I happen to be an editor. It is one thing for Apple to replace a terminal that fails with an equivalent or higher value one and another thing is for a SCAM to be incurred by manipulating a perfectly functioning phone.
.
For things like that, SATs stop trusting users and put them against the wall when they really have problems.
.
And no, I don't work for Apple. I only try to help users who really have problems with their terminal and do not know very well what to do to have it replaced.
Have, no matter how many shsh you keep, when your phone comes from sat, forget about jailbreak because Apple after verifying the fault makes delivery of refurbished phones, always, it does not return your previous repaired phone, ever. And let it be clear to you that I know what I'm talking about, so I don't recommend making the garment 🙂
good morning everyone!!!
My question is the following, I have an iPhone 4 that next month in August 2012 it has been a year that I have it, it is still under warranty on Friday I have time with the Apple Store, my problem is that the iPhone 4 does not It charges the battery nor does it recognize me anything that I put through the dock or trying it from the light or the pc or with several cables nothing at all does not charge me and I run out of battery and I have the jailbreack echo so I can not turn it on and restore it I have to take off and not restore. Will the apple store give me a hit? because if they don't turn it on, they don't know if I have the jailbreack and if they repair the part of the dock, which is what fails me, if they load it when turning it on, they will realize but it will be repaired or if they give me a new one to replace it when they turn it on. I'll be with my new iPhone on the street. Can someone help or advise me? thank you all
Hello, I would like to present you a question so that you can advise me. You will see in October the warranty expires and I wanted to take advantage of it because my iphone 4 16Gb fails me from time to time. Every day it gets VERY SLOW if I take it for more than 5 min in a row, it even gets out of the apps as soon as I enter them ... Also every 2 days or so the start button fails me and I have to press it twice or very strong to leave any app ... Do you think they are reasons for me to change the mobile for a new one? Or do you advise me to add a problem to ensure the change ??? No
I was looking for a change for another with more memory or for the 4GS, only that I spent a lot of money on the phone and I did not want to fail even more from here on without having taken advantage of the guarantee ...
Well, I await your advice. Thanks a lot.
Can I change my iPhone 4 for iPhone 8?
