How to Check if Your iPhone Is Under Warranty
One of the most important aspects when purchasing a new computer, in this case, an iPhone or iPad, is the warranty. In the case of Cupertino products, it is referred to as Apple Care.
If you recently purchased any of these products or you already have time with them and want to know if you are still within the warranty period, this article is for you. Next, we will tell you everything you need to know if your iPhone or iPad still has a guarantee.
How is the Apple warranty?
In this case, the Apple or Apple Care warranty consists of providing users with a coverage or replacement service for equipment or parts and labor through its technicians. In Spain it can cover up to 2 years of guarantee, the first year is covered in its entirety by the Apple company and the second year by your insurance company.
When we talk about Apple, this service takes effect at the time of purchasing an iPhone or iPad, providing 1-year coverage with its limited warranty service and up to 90 days of technical support totally free.
Now this guarantee includes:
- Telephone technical support.
- In-store repair through your nearest Apple Store or authorized agent.
Hardware coverage.
When we do not refer to hardware coverage, the system encompasses:
- Up to two accidental damage incidents every 12 months.
- Battery repair if it retains less than 80% of its original capacity.
- Replacement for your iPhone or iPad.
- Software support.
