寄信給Apple
在美國都換新機
去年在 at&t 買了一支 iPhone 4,隔天發生無法使用 3G 網路的問題。打電話給 Apple customer service 確認問題之後,Apple 同意免費更換手機,但 Apple 寄來的也不是全新未開封的 iPhone 4,而是整新機,所以您的說法有待商榷。
事實上關於 Apple 到底是換新機還是整新機(refurbished),在 Apple 自己的論壇上也有不少討論,例如這裡:

讓我們來看看 Apple 自己怎麼說好了,底下文字取自 Apple 官方的 iPhone 4 保固條款:
http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/iphone/
http://images.apple.com/legal/warranty/docs/iPhone_4_warranty.pdf
If a hardware defect arises and a valid claim is received within the Warranty Period, at its option and to the extent permitted by law, Apple will either (1) repair the hardware defect at no charge, using new parts or refurbished parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, (2) exchange the product with a product that is new or refurbished that is equivalent to new in performance and reliability and is at least functionally equivalent to the original product, or (3) refund the purchase price of the product.
所以對於有瑕疵的機器,Apple 在官方保固條款裡面說明了保固期內的三種處理方法:
1) 免費維修,維修時使用全新零件或者是保證運作正常的整新品零件
2) 換新機或保證跟新機一樣運作正常的整新機
3) 退款
因此換來的是不是新手機,Apple 說了算。
