Bought 4s in USA I am in India. Phone defective apple service says manufacturing defect has to be replaced. Can I do it in India or should it be sent to usa

Bought 4s while on holiday to USA I stay in India phone not working apple service says manufacturing defect. Need to be replaced. Can I do it in India. If so how? Some say have to send it to USA. Not feasible. What do I do

Not only odes it have to be serviced in the US, you cannot simply send it to the US, it must have a US return address associated with it.  So you have to send it to someone in the US who will take it in for service, retrieve it and then return to you.
iPhone warranties are very complicated and restricted to the country of origin...as Tim said, have never been international.

  • I BOUGHT AN IPHONE 5 THE PERSON FORGOT THE ICLOUD ITS AN OLD MAN SO IT HAS ICLOUD LOCK WHAT CAN I DO

    I BOUGHT AN IPHONE 5 FROM OLD MAN HE FORGOT HIS APPLE ID N PAWORD O I DONT KNOW WHAT 2 DO??

    If the person doesn't know the ID, they can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625.  If they don’t know the password they can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.
    If they can't or won't do this, get your money back because the phone is useless to you without it.  There is no way around this and no one else can help you.

    If it was originally sold in the U.S, then the warranty is only good in the U.S

    That is correct - there is no international warranty.
    Either send it to someone you trust in the US or fly back and have it looked at.

    When you buy an iPhone in the U.S. it's locked to that country with the carrier you bought it for.
    If you bought the device unlocked in the U.S. it's unlocked, you can use it on any carrier. Even one's outside the country.
    If you want to do a repair on a device you bought in the U.S. and your using it in another country, you must send it back to the U.S. Why? That's where you bought it from.
    AppleCare Protection Plans and AppleCare Limited Warranties are registered to your hardware.
    Your hardware is your iPhone.
    Wherever hardware that was bought then that's the country it was designed to be used in and that's where it was manufactured.
    Apple is very localized - if you call U.S. tech support, you'll speak to somone in your country.
    So, what does all this mean?
    In order to do a repair, you need to send it back to the country you got it from.
    And we're all customers like you. We understand that you're upset, but Apple isn't gonna bend the rules to one individual.
    Policy is policy. Get over it.

    Hi I have itunes UK on my lap top and my daughter has been bought an Itunes USA gift card how can I use this please?

    Gift cards can only be used in the country in which they are purchased - so in order to use a US gift card you would need to have a US iTunes account.

  • Apart from the lock button problem in iphone 5 the display brightness suddenly goes blank and becomes normal after locking and unlocking the iphone. The Apple service centre in India is denying to service the iphone as it was purchase in USA even thoug it

    Apart from the lock button problem in iphone 5 the display brightness suddenly goes blank and becomes normal after locking and unlocking the iphone. The Apple service centre in India is denying to service the iphone as it was purchase in USA even though the iphone is in warranty.

    iPhones do not have an international warranty.  Warranty is valid only for the country of purchase.  This is most likely because different countries require different iPhone models.  Not reasonable to expect all countries to maintain stock for all models.

    Hi I bought macbook Pro Retina 1.3 from India on the 29th March 2014 and currently I am in Norway. And suddenly I can see the inside display screen is broken. Nothing from outside and the main top screen. I got by email from the shop in India, Mumbai where I purchased it and I have the photos of the screen where do I upload kindly urgently do let me know. It is under warranty till today and I need your urgent details so that I can upload required datas and I shall go back to India on the 5th April 2015 hence I need to get from you how to go about. Thank you. Uday Kumar Ghosh +47 455 48 953

    Thank you. I did contact Apple Norway and they already raised a case no based on which I shall go and hand over my mac pro retina 13inch. As per Apple Norway, as the case has been registered before the expiry of the warranty, Apple India to accept the warranty  as well and get the set repaired under warranty. Thank you.

  • Bought iPhone from USA .. I am in Canada.. can I..

    Bought iPhone from USA .. I am in Canada.. If i have issues with my iphone, will i be able to get help (or replacement if needed) from the Apple store in canada??
    thanks

    No.
    All U.S iphones are carrier locked to AT&T and CANNOT be legitimately unlocked. If you are using it on any other carrier but AT&T ( in the US) then you have a hacked iphone and the warranty is void.

  • I bought iphone4 from Dubai, but live in India. How can I activate FACETIME without Jailbreaking it ?

    I bought iphone4 from Dubai, but live in India. How can I activate FACETIME without Jailbreaking it ?

    I'm only guessing here since I don't use Facetime myself but I think it depends on the model number of the phone. iPhones sold by UAE operators have unique model numbers and these do not get the Facetime app installed at all. Even in India, if you update or do a clean reinstall, you still the UAE-branded OS.
    Facetime is blocked because the voice and video goes over WiFi and this eats into the profits of the mobile operators. Most countries here in the Middle East block video and voice chatting over the Internet - not due to censorship - but because the government-owned operators here enjoy monopolies and want all video and voice to go over their networks for maximum revenue. I live in Oman where for example Skype is blocked simply because it is seen as a competitor to the government landline operator.

    Does a MacBook Air bought in the USA work in Europe ?

    Yes, no problem whatsoever. just get a local figure of 8 style cable to plug into the power adaptor. Don't bother with the expensive 'World adaptors' some folk sell as most electrical stores and even supermarkets will have one for a less than a Dollar.

    (i bought iphone 5c 4-5 days back from india and today back button of this phone not working, i am totally dissatisfy with the apple service support. i want replacement.)
    Hello i am nitin from india, i purchased a iphone5c because i heard that iphone comes with a great coustmer service, but this statment becomes totally wrong today, when i faced coustmer executive at service center of iphone then he said that i have to check it out and it may be a physical damage, ( how it is possible even i carried this phone with anti shock cover guard and its never fall down from my hand.) the simple thing i know that i want my phone replaced, otherwise it would be a great mistake of my life to purchase an iphone.
