Iphone 5 claim on insurance

Anonymous
Not applicable
I've seen this story a lot on the threads but I want to see if it's happened to anyone recently with an iphone 5? I rung 2 Saturdays ago to O2 to claim on my insurance as the lock button stopped working completely. They said they would pick it up last Monday and DPD did. Got a text to say it had been received at O2 and more info would follow shortly. No contact was made so I rung last Saturday and was told a new phone is on it's way and should be here by latest on the Wednesday. Got a text today (Tuesday) saying my phone is out of stock and I will be told when a new delivery date is possible so I rung O2 but insurance company have all the details and closed at 7pm (I rung at 8pm). So.... I've also heard that iphone5 isn't made anymore so 5s's are being sent out? Or phones worth less than iphone 5 are being sent out.... Just wondering what other people got! 😞

Sooooo update... Rung insurance again today and was told the delivery hadn't come in and they've had a stock problem for weeks so I rung O2 and was transferred to some manager of insurance company to be told they have tons of stock of my phone and should be with me tomorrow. After having a go at them for 20 minutes and asking for compensation, I get a new phone. Lesson learnt: speak up.

Insurance companies will still have access to like for like replacements.

It will only be speculation here until you're told what is available.

They'll obviously try and replace it with the same phone if possible.

We always tell people to go to an Apple shop and get it swapped on the spot.

The OP didn't say what cover they have, isn't there one that includes faults?

Mystery then, as the claim should have been rejected.
