Ok, need to have a single thing transparent first, I purchased my iPhone in Columbus, Ohio though am right away study abroad in Wiesbaden, Germany until January, so I unequivocally need a small assistance with this issue.

I was in Munich this past week end for Oktoberfest. Mother inlet motionless to let lax the heaviest sleet I’ve ever been in my complete life. I have my iPhone with me though am only regulating it as an mp3 player for my time here and it’s been in Airplane mode given I left the nation a month ago. It rained so tough which H2O dripping my jeans and my iPhone inside my pocket.

The H2O symbol never showed up. What I’ve beheld is gnawing in my iPhone dock. This was not beheld until Saturday evening. I’ll try and be discerning with this outline of everything. So, after starting out to a club to get out of the sleet on Friday night, I never unequivocally used my iPhone alternative than to check the time. Yea the behind of my box on my iPhone was a small wet, though the shade and all else seemed ideally excellent until I proposed to conduct behind to the hotel. The initial complaint which arose was my shade would automatically spin on (even if I incited off my iPhone) and this summary would uncover up on the screen:

This appendage is not optimized for this iPhone
You might knowledge sound caused by mobile division and a diminution in mobile vigilance strength.

Obviously, I became worried. Especially given the phone is in Airport mode and isn’t means to embrace any mobile signal. I do not even have my microSIM in the iPhone given I do not wish to risk picking up any in motion charges. I’m only perplexing to be protected about that. So given the iPhone wouldn’t spin off w/o it branch behind on and this summary popping up, I simply plugged it in to my laptop I had with me to assign it for the night, reckoning which may be carrying it plugged in and charging would presumably compromise any problem.

When I plugged my iPhone in to my laptop after on Saturday to try and bucket a small photos up online from the day, it wouldn’t connect. I have attempted mixed times to bond the iPhone to my laptop and it won’t work. When I got behind in Wiesbaden on Monday, I attempted plugging in to my roommates laptop and it wouldn’t connect. It’s not an emanate with my Macbook Pro or the cord, the complaint is unequivocally with the iPhone. I have beheld gnawing in the iPhone wharf and I’m sure that’s unequivocally a vital issue.

I can’t hit Apple Support behind in the States (they only accept calls from North American numbers). If I wish to hit Apple Support here, an complete phone call describing my complaint and reckoning out a resolution would cost a happening on my prepaid phone (Apple Care here in Germany charges me 42 Euro cents per minute, and afterwards I’m charged fifteen Euro cents any notation by my conduit O2). So, I can’t (won’t) call them here. I went to a Apple tradesman store here in my city and I was told if I longed for to correct anything, I’d have to compensate 235+ EUR to repair the complaint (my iPhone cost only over $200 behind home, I’m not profitable the homogeneous of $300 for repair the phone). There isn’t an central Apple store anywhere nearby me from my bargain so I can’t go and essentially verbalise to someone.

Basically, I’m in a bit of a plight and I need a small help/advice/guidance/whatever. I privately can’t live w/o song when I’m roving on weekends here and I adore regulating my iPhone as an mp3 player, generally given WIFI seems to be flattering prevalent wherever I have been. I do not see the correct preference in purchasing an mp3 player here if I can get this repaired/replaced for a in accord with price.

I know Apple doesn’t await H2O repairs (be it accidental, on purpose, or by force of mom nature) and I’m still underneath bureau warranty, so please, I only need a small assistance perplexing to get this taken caring of. If any a single has any recommendation on what I should do, I would severely conclude it. Could I only compensate $200 again for an out of guaranty deputy (due to H2O damage)? Is which deputy a latest iPhone? Am I means to keep my same phone number? Do I have to compensate any kind of chastisement price to AT&T/Apple? I only unequivocally need to know what I can do given I haven’t voided any partial of my stipulate with AT&T. I’m only worried/curious. Thank we for anything. I swallow ones pride for the prolonged post though I indispensable to insist all clearly. Thanks.
