How to know if an iPhone is Under Warranty or not – Guide
Having an issue with your iPhone can be costly, but Apple offers two warranties that can help. One of them is free.
How to Make sure your iPhone is under warranty
- On the device itself: Look on the back of your iPhone or other Apple device for a small text that reads “Designed by Apple in California” followed by a string of numbers. This is your serial number.
- In iTunes: Connect your iPhone to your computer and open iTunes. Select the device icon, then click on “Summary” in the left-hand menu bar. Your serial number will be listed there. Once you have your serial number, go to Apple’s warranty checker page and enter it to find out if your device is still under warranty or not.
To find your device’s serial number, go to Settings > General > About on your iPhone or iPad.
Connect your device to iTunes (or Finder, if you’re using macOS Catalina 10.15 or later) and sync it. The serial number will be displayed at the top of the management screen, next to an image of the device.
Go to Apple’s warranty verification tool from any web browser.
Check your iPhone’s warranty status by entering its serial number and completing the CAPTCHA.
Apple has launched a new tool that provides customers with five pieces of information about their warranty status. The verification tool allows users to quickly and easily check the coverage of their Apple products.
Confirm the warranty information for your device matches by using its type.
The purchase date is essential for warranty coverage.
For a limited time after purchase, customers can access free telephone technical support. After the expiration of this period, they will be charged for each call.
Consumers should be aware of the expiration date of their device’s warranty coverage for repairs and service. An estimated expiration date is available to view.
AppleCare extended warranties may be available for certain devices, depending on their status.
What to do if your iPhone is still under warranty
Consumers with iPhones still under warranty can take advantage of Apple’s free repair services.
Apple offers support for its products and services through phone, email or chat. To get help, contact Apple Support.
Book an appointment at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store for one-on-one technical assistance with your device.
Adding AppleCare+ to an eligible device can be a smart move for those expecting to need repairs. It can help reduce the cost of support from Apple, as devices no longer under warranty are not covered by free technical assistance.
