If I buy an iphone from a reseller, will apple still fix it if there are any problems, or am i better off to buy it from the apple store?

Not sure whether to buy from dick smith or apple store

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can get the iPhone repaired at an Apple Store without any problem. If your iPhone is in warranty, you can take it wherever you want if you have any problem, so you can get it repaired or replaced. Moreover, I recommend you to take it to an Apple Retail Store

  • How do i change my iphone from the US store to the Ireland store

    how do i change my iphone from the US store to the Ireland store as everytime i try to update my iphone this keeps popping up..
    Account Not In This Store..
    Your account is not valid for use in the US sotre. You must switch to the Ireland store before purchasing?? Please Help

    I have the same problem and I followed all of wjosten's instructions. Most of the address updated but the Country/Region will not update and it is still showing a US postcode (postcodes do not exist where I live).
    The alert I get is: "Your account is not valid for use in the Ireland store. You must switch to the U.S. store before purchasing ". I am trying to download an App for an Irish bank, so why am I being asked to switch to the U.S. store when I am stuck in the U.S. store and can't change to the Irish store. Catch 22...

  • HT4484 How do you switch your iPhone from the US store to the Canadian store for downloading apps?

    Somehow my iPhone 4s switched from the Canadian Store to the US store so if I try to download a Canadian app it tells me to switch back to the Canadian store. How do I switch?

    Go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > View Apple ID > enter pasword > Change Country/Region

  • TS1424 When I try to install a app onto my iPhone from the app store a message comes up saying 'cannot connect to iTunes'. Anybody know what's the problem?

    When I try to download a app from the App Store to my iPhone a message keeps coming up saying 'cannot connect to iTunes' it's happening a few days now. Helpppp

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I have not been able to use facetime on my iPhone 5 and my daughters iPod 5 since yesterday. Does anyone know if there are any problems with apple?

    I have not been able to use facetime on my iphone 5 and my daughtes ipod 5 since yesterday...does anyone know if there are any issues with apple?

    As these are user to user support forums, there will be no official response from Apple posted here. 
    Basic forum ettiquette is search before posting, so why post again if you've already searched?  Seems rather unintelligent.

  • HT1277 I can't see my email in Mail on my computer (OS 10.8.5) only in my iPhone (iOS7). Mail on my computer doesn't sense there are new emails. I use iCloud mail account. Anyone knows the solution, Apple support has not bothered to answer. .-((

    My Mail program doesn't show mail adressed to my icloud account. Messages show up on my iPhone but rarely on my iMac. I wrote Apple Support about this but they didn't even bother to answer.

    You’re welcome.
    Sometimes messages left on the server clog up the account there, or Mail chokes on a message it cannot download and that prevents it from downloading the rest as well. Solving this problem will probably require removing one or more messages from the server. What are your Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings for this account?
    You may tell Mail to remove from the server all the messages that have already been downloaded by means of Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove now. Alternatively, you may use the Account Info window to remove specific messages from the server. And if the account allows web access, you may also remove messages from the server that way.
    Try removing from the server messages that have already been downloaded and/or the first message not downloaded yet (i.e. the message that Mail appears to be choking on).
    You may want to try to download those messages with another mail client such as Thunderbird first, to avoid losing them — and use Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to import them back into Mail afterwards if you wish.

  • I have just ordered an iPhone 4s from the UAE store. Will I need a micro-sim or will any sim work?, I have just ordered an iPhone from the UAE store. Will I need a micro-sim or will any sim work?

    ....

    The iPhone 4/4S requires a Micro SIM for activation on a GSM network.
    When you receive the phone, you will find that the tray that holds the Micro SIM Card is too small to hold a SIM Card.
    Some people may say to cut down a normal size SIM card, but I would recommend against this as the connections inside the phone that connect with the Micro SIM are delicate and easily damaged by non-standard Micro SIM cards.

  • I'm visiting new York(USA) for work on Sunday, just wanted to know if i can buy an un locked iphone from the apple store or not, since i'm not a resident, to the record we don't have an apple store at my country

    I'm visiting new York(USA) for work on Sunday, just wanted to know if i can buy an un locked iphone from the apple store or not, since i'm not a resident, to the record we don't have an apple store at my country.

    You can buy an unlocked iPhone at any of the 5 Apple stores in NYC. All are open on Sunday. Note a couple of things, however:
    US iPhone 5's will work on 3G in the rest of the world, but not on LTE because the US phones use different channels than other countries
    Be sure you say "unlocked", not "no contract"
    If it breaks it must be returned to a US store for repair, and if shipped to Apple it must be from and to a US address

  • If i buy an iphone from the iphone store will it already be set up to a carrier?

    If i buy an iphone from the iphone store will it already be set up to a carrier?
    So my mom knocked her iPhone 4 into the washer a while back and I was on her Verizon plan and switched to my boyfriends straight talk plan and got a Samsung Centra. So I called the Apple store and they said it'd only be $149 to fix it. And all I would do is bring it in and pay my money and they'd give me a brand new one. What service would it be hooked up to? Or would it be hooked up to one? And Would I need to buy a straight talk card and then set it up to his credit card or do i just call and set it up to his credit card and take money out or what?

    Under the out of warranty replacement program, you get an iPhone identical to the one you are replacing...same color, same storage capacity, locked to the same carrier if it is carrier specific.  You will have to activate it for use with Verizon just like it was done with the old iPhone.

  • If I buy an iphone from the hong kong site to use in new zealand, will it come unlocked and can i use it in new zealand on a nz service provider?

    If I buy an iphone from the hong kong site to use in new zealand, will it come unlocked and can i use it in new zealand on a nz service provider?

    If you purchase an unlocked iPhone it will work on any supported gsm network.
    Just FYI, apple will not ship outside the country in which the device is purchased. A device purchased in the Hong Kong website must have a shipping and billing address in Hong Kong.
    Also, warranty and support are only valid in the country of origin.

  • Hi, I just wanted to buy two iphones from the apple store usa with a lebanese credit card. Is it possible?

    Hi, I just wanted to buy two iphones from the apple store usa with a lebanese credit card. Is it possible?

    The US Apple Store accepts US-issued credit cards only. And they will ship only to a US address. Whether or not a physical Apple Store would accept a Lebanese credit card I don't know.
    Regards.

  • Buying iPhone from uk online store

    Hi,
    I am trying to purchase the iPhone from the uk online stores.
    But unfurtionatly the apple sales teams has canceled my orders and they said I should have billing address in uk.
    My I got my credit card from Qatar. And as per apple it is not accepted.
    I am very disappointed with this specially that I got 1 iPhone 2 months back using the same billing address through aramex shop&ship service.
    Can any body help on this?
    Regards

    Because whoever took your first order clearly didn't know the rules of their own employer. That is why is was subsequently cancelled. I'm afraid this is the way it is and nothing is going to change it. The only way to get a phone in the UK is to get someone living her to buy it for you or to come this country yourself and queue up yourself.

  • Hello! i am from Romania and i want to buy an iphone from the USA site. can i buy it neverlocked? and if it is possible how much should it cost in totat(with transport and the iphone price)?

    hello! i am from Romania and i want to buy an iphone from the USA site. can i buy it neverlocked? and if it is possible how much should it cost in totat(with transport and the iphone price)?

    You can buy a factory unlocked on direct from Apple sim free, make sure you get the right one and not just a contract free one.  I am sure  one of our US members will be able to give you the price.

  • Why can't i buy iphone from the usa website?

    i've been trying to buy an iphone from the usa website as a gift to my sister who lives there... but it doesn't accept my postcode.. is it not possible to buy an iphone from uk?

    Nope. You need a verified billing/shipping address in the US to use the US store. Same reason someone from the US couldn't use the UK store.

  • I plan to buy an iphone 6 from New York. I am from India and shall be using the phone in India. Is it possible to get an unlocked iphone from the store? If yes, how much would it cost?

    I plan to buy an iphone 6 from New York. I am from India and shall be using the phone in India. Is it possible to get an unlocked iphone from the store? If yes, how much would it cost?

    It is going to be months before any unlocked iPhone 6s will be available.
    Also be aware that the iPhone purchased in the USA will only have warranty service in the USA. Any warranty service will require you to bring it back to USA.
