New iPhone after replacement warranty problem?

[GreenApple29]

Well even though i know how the situation goes with apple and warranty i wanted to share this with you
a couple of days back i had some issues with my iphone 4S and had to go to an authorized retailer so i can get it fixed.
2 days after they called me and said to go there and get a new one because they found that the first phone has some issues with the logic board
Now im with my new phone
but
since this is a new device how come the warranty is not extent ed?
Had to call the apple support center so as to ask because the warranty status online said" the phone needs to be activated"which was laready active!!
the one guy said that the warranty has been extended for anotehr year and a day after another person at the call center said no that my warranty stays the same and that the policy of apple states that warranty goes with the original purchase of the device
to be honest i find this quite ridiculous
Since is a new device with new serial number and generally a new device how come teh warranty stays the same?this doesnt happen to any other electronic product....
so quite angry about this
the only thing that happened is that they said that they will give me a 50 british pouynds gift card to use at the apple store!!!!

You only get a 1 year warranty(or 2 if you buy AC+) if you buy a new phone. Replacements don't come with a new 1-2 year warranty. If it was an out of warranty replacement, you would get a 90 day warranty.

yes onbiously i get that
but ill repeat what i said earlier
if you have a similar issue with a tv or some other electronic device
the replacement device has a new warranty...
anyway obviously i cant do anything about that
ill sell it and wait for the new one

Most iPhones supplied to replace faulty units are mint refurbished. If an Owner has chosen not to buy Apple care and stick with the 1 yr warranty why should they add another 12 month warranty onto a replacement.

They could instead insist on repairing the idevices.

Their offer to replace handsets out of warranty for a token payment impresses too. Many companies only try to repair faulty items unlike Apple who replace most times without question.

you could use that 50 pound gift card towards some Apple care but I'm sure you don't want to do that. No most company's will not give you a 100% warranty if they replace your device, the way most company's do it is they replace your device and either give a short warranty 30-90 days depending or the remainder of your warranty period. find me a company that doesn't do that.

the specific incident that i mentioned earlier was with a dell monitor that had an issue and had it replaced
they replaced it and the warranty renewed ....
to be honest it doesnt really matter
hopefully ill get it sold and wait for teh new one)

This is what apple does. You get 90 days or the remainder of your warrenty . Whichever is longer.

that was a great idea till i mentioned it to the apple advisor that i tried to resolve this issue the response?

"Unfortunately Apple Care Protection Plans and iTunes vouchers are the two things we cannot offer as appeasements.
Anything else from the UK online store however we can easily arrange."

so dead end on that one!

yes I know my point is it's at the very least the norm. many company's won't do that. I don't know any company's that warranty better then Apple myself.

there is always a way Apple cards as good as cash I bet somebody would but it for close to value cash.

Funny GreenApple.....

1. My old Dell monitor was replaced with a refurbished unit, and the warranty was what I had left on my original warranty, not a new warranty.

2. Two year old Samsung LCD 46 inch TV, got it replaced with another one, and the warranty contract was the original, not a new warranty.

What TV and manufacturer was that?
You're not too demanding, just unreasonable.
So every time you get a replacement from the manufacturer your warranty starts all over again? That doesnt make any sense. If that was the case I'd get my iphone replaced at 11 months each time and be on warranty forever.
Every company covers you a year or set amount of time from the original purchase date. Not from the replacement purchase day.

Applejuiced you are right in a way yes
as for the TV the TV was a samsung and i think it was a monitor actually
the main reason of teh post was to say that the first person on the apple support said to me that my warranty was 1 year after the iphone was replaced..i knew that the warranty continues from the day you purchased teh original device but was very suprised till i called again..
the reason that i called again was because i enteered the serial number on apple s website to check the warranty and i got a message saying "you need to actuavet your phone"!which i had and was making calles and receiving as well..
then i realised that the guy that said about anothe year of warranty had no clue what he was talking about
thank god it was all noted cos i could be seen as a weirdo on the apple support!ol

Lol
Yes, whoever told you that you will get another full year warranty on the replacement was pretty much clueless.

I was agreeing with you. Or am I not allowed to?

So basically you're saying each time you get a warranty replacement it should start a new 1 year warranty? You would never have to buy a new iphone again if that's the case. Do you see how silly your thinking is?

first of all didnt like the term silly
since i clearly stated that i knew what the policy of apple was in the first place
i was confused due to a chat i had with an apple advisor on teh phone when he said i was under another year of warranty
thats all

----------

just to clarify this...once again
im not new to apple and i know how it works as concerns warrant issues with mobile or desktop devices
i just mentioned my incident with an apple advisor who basically didnt know what the hell is going on and mixed it up
i have read some of the biggest companies in electronics and their warranty policies and they explain exactly what apple has done in my case

Obviously after ten months iom ot loooking for a new phone with a new warranty!

i know im entitled a replacement which i have now
and yes if you read earlier i know the policy was just a misunderstanding with apple advisor on the phone
