iMore Question
Why my iPhone 6 Plus doesn't turn on anymore after I dropped it and cracked screen and how do I get a new one replaced for free if my phone is not under warranty anymore
After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
Even if it was still under warranty, you wouldn't be able to "get a new one replaced for free" if you physically damaged it like this.
The warranty only covers manufacturer's defects.
If you don't have AppleCare or some other phone insurance, you're not going to be able to get it replaced for free.
