Check imei warranty. How to check the warranty for Iphone and how long it is valid. How to find your serial number or IMEI
Hey! The topic of validating various Apple gadgets for authenticity is truly endless. The blog already has a lot of articles devoted to this problem (basically all of them are located right here - in the category "It's interesting"), but all the same, various questions continue to come. This is how Apple works - you check the serial number of your iPhone or iPad on their website, and the answer will not always be clear.
To be absolutely precise, then, in fact, about the warranty period, the answer is completely clear. Either they show us a clear expiration date, or it says that "Eligibility for service and support: expired" - that means there is no guarantee. At first glance, everything is too simple, understandable, accessible and there seems to be nothing to understand. But…
At the same time, there may be another inscription that raises a lot of questions:
With respect to this product, "Right to Service and Repair: No Consumer Protection Act (CLRP)" or vice versa "Consumer Protection Act May Apply".
And, depending on what was written, there are incomprehensible moments - is it the original iPhone or not? Is there a guarantee in Russia or is it missing? And here in general some kind of ZoZPP? There is very little information on this on the network, let's try to figure it out together - let's go!
I took several iPhones, the full history of which I know exactly - where they come from, where they were bought, etc. All conclusions in the article are solely based on these data.
Unfortunately, I do not have an iPhone in my hands, which, when checked, gives "The right to service and repair: The consumer protection law does not apply (purchase of a product in another country)". If you are the owner of such a gadget, write in the comments - it is very interesting to know what must happen to the device for such an inscription to appear.
Although, apparently, during such checks, there are various failures. Several people wrote to me that they know for sure - they have Rostest iPhones, but at the same time on the Apple website they see the inscription "Consumer Protection Law does not apply." In principle, the Apple consultants themselves say that you should not completely focus on the information from the site - it may be displayed incorrectly. The most important thing is the documents.
So if you bought a phone from an "official", it is very important to keep the original receipt. On occasion, it will help in proving that your iPhone and ZoZPP are fully compatible.
