iphone 4 refurbish

I bought an unlocked iPhone 4 in US last August. Over time, the phone got some dents as I dropped it several times, and even though I know I can use it without any problem except the aesthetic ones, I just want to know how much I should pay (or pay none?) if I want to refurbish it.


1. Is there any difference between unlocked / locked iPhone 4 when it comes to refurb?

2. Now it's about 5 months since I bought this iPhone... when does the warranty ends? Is the warranty related to refurb? If so, how?

3. Since this case is not due to Apple's software problem, I expect I should pay extra for refurbishing. If it's just few dents, how much Apple usually claims for the refurbished iPhone?

4. Should I go to the shop where I bought the iPhone? Or, can I ask about this matter to any local retailer? (Now I'm in South Korea, can I just go to any Apple shop in Korea to refurb?)


I'll wait for reply. Thank you.

iPhone 4 (8GB), iOS 6.0.2, White color, Never refurbished
