iPhone 4 Power Button Stuck

How much is the AppleCare warranty? Can I purchase AppleCare after my warranty has expired?

It is beginning to sound like Tim Cook needs to restore some good will by standing behind their product.

I agree. This is a mechanical problem...not software. The tactile "click" is missing. Mechanical defect. Apple FAIL.

I agree. Lion, Final Cut X, and the iphone 4 button issues have really soured me on Apple. I have been an Apple fan (evangelist) since the early 80's. Today they just seem like any other company.

Same Apple screw-job for me as well. Four months out of warranty and I'll I get is a "fork over $150 and we'll will replace your iPhone". What a FAIL. Time to occupy Cupertino.

Probably does....who knows. Honesty by Apple would be the forthright thing for them to do.

Next phone...I'll buy Applecare...and probably need it.

my phone also has a power/lock button problem I didnt drop it or anything. But if i take to an Apple store, they are going to be able to replace it without charge?

my powerbutton died today, my iPhone 4 is 18 days from being one year "old"... I'm will take it to my operator's shop tomorrow, will be interesting to see what they will do...

CwissyBwear,

I have never really heard of this problem but you should schedule an appointment with the Genius Bar or have a Live Chat with an associate.

yep, I visited my carrier and they replaced my phone with a new one, I'm very pleased with the fast and easy service, great!

A better alternative is to JB and get SB settings on your phone. Gives a drop down menu to power off or reboot the phone.

What are JB and SB?

J A I L B R E A K and and SBsettings is the name of an app in C Y D I A.

Thank You! My phone is also Out-of-Warranty. Hopefully this option will working until iPhone 5 is released.

That blows. Anyways, hardwares fail randomly, even if you took good care of it. I would still considering buying a new one.

yeah it doesn't help that the part on directfix is sold out to so that should tell you something.
