So I went to a halloween party last night and passed out on the couch. I woke up this morning to my iphone 4S laying next to the couch on the floor with a beer bottle literly resting on top of it side ways. My screen is sticky and the home button doesnt work. The phone functions perfectly minus the home button and though there is a little 'gunk' in the charging port none of the water censors are tripped. Anyone have an experience close to this who has gotten their phone replaced for free by apple? Thanks. Edit - What should I say to the genius helping me? Should I lie or just tell the truth?
wipe everything off, all the gunk and say ur phone started to act funny. gotta make sure theres no physical defects though edit: actually just say your home button just stopped working. thats a common defect
Apple gave me a free iPhone replacement when i got shaving gel on it and it stopped working. Worth a try i guess.
if they wont do it get insurance on ur phone from your phone provider and wait a month and say you lost it or it broke some how then they will give u a new one. minus a deductible.
My girlfriend's macbook pro broke when she tried to update to lion and they replaced it for free. Take a damp paper towel and see if you can get rid of the stickiness.
