Exchange. I recently purchased a replacement (my iPhone 4 got water damaged) and it was an exchange. No problems in the transfer, so I'm not sure what the UDID and IME are for, but they don't seem to be of any matter. Or maybe it's because mine is an AT&T one and uses a SIM card? But I presume the do the same for phones that don't use a SIM.

Wow this is new to me I just took it for granted you could get a new battery if you wanted as that's how almost everyone justified the non replaceable battery in the first place.

Apples really looking worse to me everyday lately, I think my iPod is on it's last legs too but lucky enough my phones completely replaced my iPod lately and I can buy new batteries and even extended batteries for that with no hassle at all.

To clarify, I don't know anything about what they do if you go in for a new battery. I was talking about when they exchange in-store for other reasons (defect, or in my case, water damage). In the past I thought they said they'd do a battery replacement for $100 or something like that. My guess is that that actually entailed an exchange, but I don't know as I've never done it.

If I were you, I would just go to a repair store either in your city or on the internet. When I broke my iphone 4 screen, I thought it was the end of the world, but called around and found a place where I took it in and they fixed it in 30 minutes for $80.

Iphone batteries are much cheaper to get fixed, been quoted from around $30 to $50. When they take apart the iphone, the screws are really small, and there are tons of parts. I think it is easier to use a shop than do it yourself. I'm an electrical engineer, and it's just a lot of work to do the work yourself.
