Do you want to know how much warranty is left on your iPhone, iPad or Mac (Book)? Finding this out is very simple, but you have to know how it works. In this article we explain how it works.
Warranty check on iPhone, iPad and Mac
The easiest way to check this is through Apple itself. All you need is the serial number of your iPhone, iPad or MacBook. On the iPhone and iPad you will find this number in the Settings app under the heading ‘General’. On a MacBook, go to ‘About this Mac’, after which the serial number will be in the overview menu.
Have you noted the serial number? Then follow the instructions below to check whether your iPad, Mac or iPhone is still under warranty:
- Open your browser and go to the official website of Apple;
- Enter the serial number of your Apple product;
- And enter the secret code, or renew the code if the current string is not readable;
- Select ‘Continue’.
This information screen tells you what kind of Apple product you have, along with related warranty information. The page is made up of three parts. First, it indicates whether your iPhone, iPad or other Apple product has a valid purchase date. This allows employees to quickly recognize your device and help where necessary.
You can also see in this screen whether you are still entitled to telephone support. With each new product purchased, you have a set period of time during which you can call Apple customer service for technical support at no charge.
Finally, this screen states when you have a warranty on your iPhone, iPad, Mac or another product. Please note, because Apple provides a standard one-year manufacturer’s warranty, while in the Netherlands we are entitled to two years. You can extend the expiry date shown by one year and request a repair immediately if necessary.
