last night i charged my iphone and when i came back to unplug it it was burning hot. I tried turning it on but it wont turn on. my apple warranty ran out but i when i bought my phone i bought it with american express which automatically doubles the warranty. What do i do?
 
I think you answered your own question.

Take it back to Apple first and see if they will deal with it outside the warranty, if not the talk to American Express.
 
Could i take to an att store instead of an apple store? The nearest apple store is an hour away and I dont have a car
 
you need a cat to get to the Apple store!?


your warranty is through apple, not AT&T
 
Well if it's fried than I'd suggest putting salt on it and having yourself an iFry.;)

Take it to the Genius Bar and have it replaced. :)

All warranty service is provided by Apple. You could call Apple support and discuss your options.

They will even mail you an advanced replacement iPhone.

Apple will charge you the Out-of-Warranty Service Fee if Apple receives your original and determines that is not eligible for service under the warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan, but is repairable.​

Do you have the new, or the old wall adaptor? You should have been issued with a new one, which fixes that problem.

You are misinformed. The old wall chargers were recalled because the prongs had a tendency to break off in the outlet causing a dangerous electrocution hazard while users tried to fish them out of the holes without first turning off the power.

The wall charger problem has nothing to do with his problem.
