I have an iPhone 4 (bought in mid 2011 when it was still THE iPhone).
I am about to give it to my mom when I'll switch to a 5S.
However, I have the front button issue (sometimes you have to try more than twice to get it to work), I also feel like the battery isn't as good as before.
I am about to go to a Genius Bar and argue about the legal warranty (in Quebec) so that they "repair" my phone.
From what I understand they will not repair it and give it back, but they will simply swap it.
If so, let's say that they still refuse to give me a free repair, should I then go for a battery replacement, assuming that they will swap the phone anyway and that the new one won't have the button issue, because a battery replacement is cheaper than a phone repair.
Is that a safe assumption or have they started to simply change battery in store ? (since the iPhone 4 is so easy to open, i'm worried they might, leaving me with the same button problem as before and having to pay again to repair it.)
