Many people, when purchasing a second-hand iPhone, ask about its warranty, however, at least for Apple, the purchase paper is of no use, and if you have a device that you purchased with them, they are only interested the serial number and that you can unlock it.
This means that if you are going to buy a phone, you will have to look at the «warranty coverage» that all iPhones have, and that will tell you until which day that iPhone is covered, so there will be no need for an invoice to prove it.
How the Apple warranty works
If you have ever worn a Apple product to reviewyou have probably noticed that they do not ask you for anything, in fact, at the time, when I wore an Apple Watch Series 8, they did not even ask me for the serial number, since the product had been released barely 5 months ago, which which meant that any device that arrived at the store would have a warranty, at least until one year after its launch.
This can be expanded if you hire AppleCare+since, whether it has been purchased from Apple or not, it will have a guarantee with them for the years purchased, so if they sell us a product with this service, or we are the ones who are going to sell it, we can rest assured, and even if we do not find the purchase invoice, the equipment will have its warranty.
In order to be able to apply it, We must have the iCloud password associated with the iPhone or equipment, since for an important repair, they will ask us to undo this, and later, once they return it to us, we will do it again, so it will not serve as a trick for a stolen iPhone or that we have found on the street, well Even though we know that it is under warranty, and there is no need to prove its purchase, we will not be able to access it, so Apple will not help us either.
Another thing will be if the product has been purchased on Amazon, MediaMarkt, or another platform, where Apple will only cover us for the first yearit is necessary to prove your purchase so that these websites take charge of the remaining 2, although if it has been online, the receipt will always remain in the account, so we can ask the seller for it.
In summary, if you have an Apple product, but you do not have its purchase receipt, you can check the remaining warranty time in the settings, and if it is still valid, take it to an Apple Store to have it inspected, well you will not need to prove your purchaseFor the company, the purchase is proven if you appear as the owner of the device, and your account is associated with that iCloud, as it may be a product purchased from an individual, a gift from a family member, etc.
And you, have you ever had a problem taking an iPhone or other equipment to be repaired at an official Apple Store or SAT? Tell us your experiences so that the rest of us can know them.
