When purchasing a second-hand iPhone, many look for one with a warranty, that is, the seller has the invoice for it, since in Spain, this is 3 yearsso if you buy a model from two years ago, at least you are assured that you will be able to try it without fear, since it will have an additional 12 months of warranty.
However, this It’s not always like thatand although it will depend on the country, today we are going to talk about Spain, since not everyone will have the same guarantee, and although Apple offers the first year for everyone and in any condition, there are cases where this year is the only one that we can use, so we have to be careful.
Guarantee of a second-hand iPhone
As we said, in Spain, purchasing a product, whatever it may be, comes hand in hand with 36 months warrantyso if I now buy an iPhone 16 on the Apple website, on Amazon, or in any store, I will have those 3 years, and if in 2 years I want to sell it to another individual, giving them the invoice, they will be able to continue enjoying the time that the iPhone has left, especially if it is purchased in an Apple Store, since this would not even be necessary, since they themselves know this.
However, there is a case where this is not so simple, since Business or self-employed phones have different legislation, and only have a 12-month warrantythe ones that Apple offers you, and we often don’t see this.
When they give us the invoice, it may be in the name of a person, without realizing that they may be self-employed, since there does not have to be a company CIF or anything other than their DNI, which could lead us to an error if we do not We look carefully, because even some self-employed people do not know this, and think that they are also 3 years old, that is, they do not have to want to scam you, since there are people who do not know this.
Therefore, at the time of review an invoiceit will have to be done correctly, not just look at the date and add 3 years to it, since it is likely that it is not even there at that time, and they are selling it to you without it, so the paper only guarantees that it is not stolen, nothing else.
This applies to all products company or self-employed, that is, if you are going to get a Mac, or an iPad, you will also have to pay attention, because although they are not devices that all people can deduct, it is very easy for them to try to sell you one like that , since it will have cost them much less, and they will be able to recover practically what they paid for it.
And you, did you know this? Did you know that the guarantee does not apply the same to an individual as to a self-employed person or company? Leave us a comment if you have ever purchased a second-hand one, and if you had taken this into account, or if you only looked at the model and date of purchase, caring little about the rest of the information.
