If I buy an iPhone in the US will it have the warranty in Germany?

Hello. I'm will be flying to the US shortly and I was interested in buying myself an iPhone there. But then I started wondering that if there is some sort of malfunction covered by the warranty if I would be able to bring it to an Apple Store here in Germany and get it fixed. Is this possible?

No.
And don't forget that if you buy an unlocked phone in the US you will be hit by US sales tax, import duties and local VAT back in Germany.  And the 4G facility probably won't work.  Any slight difference in cost is not worth the sacrifice.

    The warranty for the iPhone is not and has never been International.
    Warranty and support are ONLY valid in the country of origin.  The only exception is the EU where the entire EU is treated as one country.
    If the device will be used in India, buy it in India.
    An unlocked iPhone will work on any supported GSM carrier world wide.  The LTE portion of a US purchased, unlocked iPhone is unlikely to work outside North America as it does not support the appropriate bands used in other countries.

  • If I buy an iPhone in the US, could I use it in other country?

    Hi.
    I wanna buy an iPhone 5S at the on line store, but I live in Peru (South America). The reason is that in the on line store is cheaper and a relative is coming soon from US to Peru. So, if I buy an iPhone in that way will it be unlocked and ready for use with a local mobile operator, here in Peru? Or will it be locked and i couldn't use here?
    Thanks for your answers!
    Daniel

    They would need to buy you a T-Mobile model phone from the Apple Store only. There is no guarantee this phone will work with LTE in your country and you would have to send it back to your relative for warranty service.

  • 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 4S (the unlocked and contract-free version), do I need to add a microSIM card if I just want to use it as an iPod Touch?

    If I buy an iPhone 4S (the unlocked and contract-free version), do I need to add a microSIM card if I just want to use it as, essentially, an iPod Touch? I'll probably get a microSIM card eventually, but I just need the wi-fi based technology now. Anyone know?

    It will not do anything (other than call 911) until you activate it with a microSIM. Look into an iPod Touch instead.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Is it possible to buy an iPhone in the USA and use a brazilian chip?

    Hi guys,
    I want to know if I buy an iPhone in the USA I can just put the brazilian chip (a chip from a brazilian telecommunications company) and it will work. Could somebody help me, please?
    Thanks.
    P.s.: Hope you understand, my english is not the best one hahaha.

    No. All iPhones sold in the US are carrier-locked to AT&T and cannot be used with other carriers' SIM cards.

  • If I buy an iPhone from the Apple website, and then go to Verizon to activate it, will it reset my 2 year contract? Also, will Verizon charge extra for activating since the price on Verizon is higher than the Apple website's price?

    It's all very confusing to me, I need some answers from experienced customers.

    I already checked. I purchased my iPhone 3G on the launch date back in July '08. I've paid the bill the day my bill was issued, days ahead of its due date, and for some reason, even through it's magic 8-ball wisdom, said I was not eligible for and upgrade. Not till Dec. of this year at least.
    So even though my phone is now technically 'mine' and off their contract, they still won't unlock it for me? How come?

  • If i buy an iPhone in the USA will it still work when i move to Canada?, If i buy an iPhone in the USA will it still work when i move to Canada?

    If i buy an iphone in the USA will it still work when i move back to Canada?

    You would probably want to look at a factory unlocked iPhone so you do not have to use a contract with a US carrier.  And look at the network standards being used, in the US iPhones are CDMA (verizon and Sprint) and GSM (AT&T).  What are the carriers in Canada using?  If majority, or the carrier in your location are GSM then you should look at the GSM iPhone.  Also check warranty and applicability in Canada...iPhone warranties are supposed to be valid only in the country of purchase.
    AppleCare+ is available in the US and Canada but, again, be sure you can transfer the coverage to Canada.

  • If i buy an iphone on the online apple store (the US store), is the iphone Model A1249?

    If i buy an iphone on the online apple store (the US store), is the iphone Model A1249?

    A1249 is an iPhone 5 model and the iPhone 5 is no longer sold by the Apple Store. If you look for "Tech Specs" for a specific phone (4s, 5c, or 5s) in the store, that will show you the model numbers. Following is that information for the 5s: http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/specs/

  • If I buy an iphone 4 or 4s will it come with Ios 6 or ios 7?if it's ios 6 where can I buy it?

    If I buy an iphone 4 or 4s will it come with Ios 6 or ios 7?if it's ios 6 where can I buy it?

    It depends on where you buy the iPhone. If you buy a new iPhone from Apple or an authorized iPhone reseller, the iPhone will probably come with iOS 7 unless the reseller has old stock, which could be the case for an iPhone 4 since Apple discontinued that model quite a while ago.
    If you're buying from some other source, there's no way to know what version if iOS the phone will have.

  • Hi, May I ask... If I buy iphone from apple store, will I have to pay another taxes if I'm not in US?

    Hi, May I ask... If I buy iphone from apple store, will I have to pay another taxes if I'm not in US? I'm from Indonesia.... THX

    If you do not have a US billing and shipping address, you can NOT purchase an iPhone from the US Apple web site, if that's what you're asking.
    If you are physically in the US, you need to know that #1. Unlocked iPhone 4S will not be available for purchase until some time in November. #2. The warranty is NOT international. If it breaks, you will not be able to get it serviced anywhere but in the US.
    As for taxes, you will have to pay sales tax in the US. As far as any duties on the phone are concerned when you take it home, you'll have to inquire of your government for the answer to that.

  • If i buy an iphone 5c in usa will it work in in Italy?

    If i buy an iphone 5c in USA, will it work in Italy ?

    Before you buy, remember, that the warranty is only valid in the country where the phone was bought. In case your phone might need to be serviced, you'll have to send it back to the USA.
    If this fact does not matter to you, make sure to buy a SIM-free phone.
    More details here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/buy-iphone/iphone5c
    If you buy iPhone for T-Mobile, it will arrive with a nano-SIM card already installed that you can activate by visiting an Apple Retail Store or a T-Mobile store or by calling T-Mobile. If you buy a SIM-free iPhone, you will need to purchase a GSM-compatible nano-SIM card separately. In the United States, you can purchase such a SIM from AT&T or T-Mobile. When you travel internationally, you can use a nano-SIM card for iPhone 5c from a local GSM carrier. The unlocked iPhone 5c model is A1532 (GSM). For details on LTE support, see www.apple.com/iphone/LTE.
