Careless iPhone users who drop their iPhones in a swimming pool or a coffee mug, or wash it with their clothes, can now get them replaced with the refurbished ones. Apple has announced that this facility will be available for $199 out of the warranty!

Does it mean that those guys don’t need to worry? Might be! because refurbished iPhones are always a lot better than the repaired ones!

There was a confusion created by ifoAppleStore that the customers will have to renew their AT&T contract but Apple  has officially confirmed to TUAW that this is not the case, there will be no need to renew AT&T contract.

Doesn’t this offer smell a new upcoming iPhone? Apple/AT&T might be trying to clear their stores before its launch?!
