The only way for them to give you a new one is if you are still under the 15 day policy ( that could have been changed from them). They give you a refurb'd one but everything is new on it. No Apple will not give you a unlocked one UNLESS yours was a unlocked iPhone. IF your iphone was locked to a carrier then they will give you a locked one to that carrier you have had it with.

Apple Store's have a hidden batch of iPhone 4S for replacements only. They are only able to hand those out for costumers that have problems with their current ones.

Nope/ Yours could be defective. I suggest you make a appointment with genius bar at your local Apple store & let them see what is wrong with it.

If anything it could be the lens not in place. They will give you a new / refurbished one ( in which the phone case, battery & all are new.)

Mine does it too. And it sounds like it's a pretty common problem:

So common, that it may not be a problem. But annoying, yes.

Yes! So im not the only one with this after all.. I thought it was the vibrate moter since it has a different one than the iPhone 4 and sometimes on vibrate it will REALLY rattle LOUD. I am going to go back to the Rogers Plus I got mine from and explain it, if no go there on any possible replacement (without a charge here..) then ill try the Apple Store here.

The only way to get a replacement iPhone is threw the Apple store. Rogers will not replace the iPhone for you. Apple does that.

I suggest you make a appointment with the genius bar at your local Apple store & go in. If you have not appointment most of the times they will not take you till the end of the day.

Ok thanks for that.. since where im going later today is near the Apple Store im just going to go there early and walk in, see what happens.

Yea just tell them the problem & see if there is a way they can fit you in & take care of it 🙂

Question, when you go to apple store to get a replacement, how can they give you a replacement when the store never has stock? does this mean you would get a refurb'ed phone? Also, when apple replaces it, do they give you an unlocked phone?
