| Jan 1, 2014 at 23:09 | comment | added | Madivad | @anthonyg it appears it's still in there, you can actually select which version you're covered by, so you can compare the warranty now compared to at time of purchase. Although formatted differently, the crux of it is the same. And I strongly agree, "may restrict" is incredibly vague, I would much prefer clarification on this point. BTW, I did a test in an apple store, I asked a Genius if Apple would honour warranty OS, they said yes, I showed them this and they said the same thing. "May restrict, but they will." I told him they wouldn't. "Oh, ok." :( | |

| Aug 25, 2013 at 11:34 | comment | added | Madivad | I thought I would look it up... "IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE. Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device." from apple.com/legal/warranty/products/ipad-english-a.html which (incidentally) is the same as the iphone version. As I mentioned, I was refused services from an authorised apple repairer in Thailand. I rang apple direct whilst standing in the store (hoping they would back me up), they didn't! As it turned out, we got them fixed on a holiday back to Aus. | |

The MacBook Pro, on the other hand, IS covered. I discovered this first hand when I purchased two iPhone's in Aus before moving to Thailand. Both phones developed issues in the first year. | |

| May 3, 2011 at 5:38 | comment | added | sowon kwon | I understand, thank you very much for your answer Anthony Green. I was a little bit afraid but it seems like Apple understand better than every other companies that we'r living in a global world now. I'm going to buy it asap then, thanks again. | |
