| Oct 19, 2019 at 12:30 | comment | added | Monomeeth♦ | @Madivad I can vouch for the fact that iPhones purchased in overseas locations will have their warranty honoured in Australia, so long as the user can provide proof of purchase (i.e. a valid receipt showing the date of purchase from new). Without that, however, it can become problematic and will often get down to a manager/supervisor making a call on whether to cover the device or not. | |
| Oct 18, 2019 at 17:04 | comment | added | bmike♦ | your comment goes against how the site help is designed. If you want to ask someone (Mod or not) to not make edits, asking on Ask Different Meta is the proper avenue for discussion and resolution. | |
| Oct 18, 2019 at 11:50 | comment | added | Madivad | @bmike you can disagree all you like, it doesn’t change the fact that I, and others, have had warranty denied because we were out of the country of purchase. There are examples all over stack. Can you cite any specific time you have had US warranty exercised for a phone outside of the US? And PLEASE stop adjusting the question and accepted answer to suit. Your edits are changing context and that is distasteful. With power comes responsibility. Or you can use it to do whatever it is you are doing. Whatever that is. | |
| Oct 17, 2019 at 9:38 | comment | added | bmike♦ | I disagree with your comment above in practice. The vast majority of countries and the vast majority of warranty service calls in my experience don’t end up with Apple exercising their right to “maybe” require service only in the original country of purchase. But, that doesn’t matter if for example, you only care about an iPhone purchased in a country that has a different agreement than most of the EU / US with Apple Retail store physical presence. This question is primarily about US purchase. Do you have examples of US goods not being serviced elsewhere? | |

| Oct 1, 2015 at 2:27 | comment | added | Madivad | It's very annoying. Every answer ranks higher than mine and they're all wrong. Apple's own website says so, and I have experienced it first hand. I love Apple, but fanbois need to stop posting how great they are and guessing answers unless they know the facts. I only checked this again a few months ago and it's still the case. It MAY accepted, but by no means is it a guarantee (which in my eyes makes it no warranty either) Ahh well. It's an old post now. Lol. | |
