Does anyone have any clue how I can go about having a color swap for my iPhone 5? I have a black one right now and decided I'm feeling the white a little more. It would match great with my RMBP and I like the lighter aluminum. The black is great too, but I feel like the white is more distinct looking. By the time I changed my mind late last month, it was already preparing for shipment, so I couldn't cancel.
So here's the deal. The closest Apple store is 3 hours away from me. My first thought was to ship it to my dad, have him go to an Apple store and swap it, then bring it to me when he comes up next weekend. However, I just called the Apple store near him and the guy there said that while they have been getting shipments, they've all been snatched up by the online reservation. Obviously I can't do that since I've already upgraded my line, so getting one from an Apple store is pretty much a no. Otherwise I'd have to send it in to Apple, which would probably take 10 days from sending it back to free up my upgrade, which just sucks. There would have to be a way for AT&T to temporarily re-activate my iPhone 4S and the old SIM card in that, right? Then once I get the upgrade back available, I'd just need to keep checking back at the AT&T store 30 minutes away each day until they get some... I don't know how many they're getting in stock. I'll need to call tomorrow. This is basically the only way that I can see being able to do a color swap.
Unless Apple.com would be able to get me an exchange ahead of the 3-4 week wait? I could see it because I already have my iPhone 5 and just want an exchange, but it doesn't sound like something they'd do. Has anyone else tried this?
So much work just for a different color
why do I have to live in the middle of nowhere.
