Iphone warrenty do you need proof of purchase?

sorry guys couldnt find the right catergory as i am new to this forum i borught a second hand iphone well it was new but it didnt come with a receipt i was wondering even though its covered by the apple warrenty as its only 4 days old will i need a receipt for to claim for a repair? also i took the risk of buying applecare aswell (not through) apple will i also need proof of purchase for that aswell if it was to break down over the 1 year mark thank you

im not suspicious of you..... "There is something that sounds very very wrong about your story. Where EXACTLY did you buy this phone? What model phone is it? Where did you buy Apple Care from?" that tells a different story......
anywho i wanted advice im sick of people always being negative on my posts i came for advice not the 3rd degree please if you arent going to be nice dont comment 
yes my phone has a warrenty till next september the 8th 2015 but 1 year is not enough hence why i got the applecare to extend it to 2016
ive also heard from different forums over the past year saying that apple requires proof of purchase for warrenty claims instead of gettig a indian or chinese person on the phone and asking them and getting confused i thought i would try my luck here
ive switched from samsumg so im completely not in the loop about the warrenty etc i know with any other phone you need proof

  • When I try to open a spreadsheet on my Mac that I worked on with my iPhone, I get "You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet." When I go to the App store, it says I already have it. I have v. 2.3 and can't seem to download newer version

    If you are running Mavericks, and the Mac App store says you are up to date, then you have Numbers 3.2 as well as Numbers 2.3. You are getting the "Need a newer version message because your Mac is trying to open the document using Numbers 2.3.
    Launch Numbers 3, then open the document from within that app, or right click/control-click the document and choose Open with Numbers 3.x.

  • I need proof of purchase of my original iPhone

    So I had an iPhone 5 bought for me back in 2012 when it was released and I immediately purchased Protect My Bubble insurance for it. Soon or later the camera started playing up so I took it to Apple and they replaced the entire phone within warranty. Now my second phone has broken and it's out of warranty, therefore I need to claim off of my insurance to get it replaced. However they want proof of purchase, in order to get this I need the IMEI number of my original iPhone as well as proof of replacement. Is this something Apple would be able to provide me?

  • Do i need proof of purchase when my phone is under warranty from apple ?

    Hello people ..
    i just bought a used i phone 6 64G from eBay. It is in a very good condition almost new almost a month or two old . Its is also under Apple warranty which can be determined from their website as well. The seller has not given me any proof of purchase as he has already mentioned that i don't need it anyway cz the warranty limit can be confirmed from their website .
    my question is simple .
    do i need the original proof of purchase to claim a warranty repair  ? cz this line on apples website really bothers me
    "A validated purchase date lets Apple quickly find your product and provide the help you need "and that i don't have it .. just need to confirm if all is alright now a bit late but for the info it is .. then may be i can ask this guy for the original receipt ?
    or any suggestions what to do if one don't have the original receipts at all
    Thanks

    thanks .. for your answer
    but to answer your questions ..
    1-the eBay gives the proof of those purchases which are from eBay .The original receipt of the new phone when it was first sold, i was asking for that because i thought that the receipt from ebay wont work here despite i have it   , the first buyer should have given it to me but told me that i dont need it and he has lost that anyway .
    2 used here means that i m the second owner and it was sold to me under warranty (which extends for 9 months more) from another user ..usually people who sell devices give the original proof of purchase but this time i wasnt given .
    so i just wanted to confirm if i need to show the first receipt from the apple store to prove that my device is under warranty or the date that shows from their database alone is enough to claim warranty.
    i hope you understand what i meant .. its for my own confirmation and to clear my doubt ..

  • Imei - need proof of purchase from Apple

    I have an iPhone 3GS which I lost and it was then found again, but because it was lost O2 put a block on the imei number. I have been ask to supply proof of purchase so I can get it unlocked, but the imei is different because I had a problem with my phone and it was replaced at the Apple Store. SO O2 say there is nothing they can do, so is it possible to get a 'proof of purchase/ownership' from Apple?

    Why don't you call and find out?

  • Need Proof of Purchase...

    Hi there,
    I bought my ipad in summer 2012 and left it on a train late last month and I'm now in the process of making an insurnace claim. I paid in cash and dumped the receipt as the ipad went out of warranty so have no proof of purchase
    My question is - can Apply confirm to my insurer that I did purchase and own the said ipad.
    Many thanks!

    You should have received an email confirmation of the purchase.
    Out of warranty or not, you can check the status > Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage

  • Repair (5S) Needs Proof of Purchase?

    Looking for a quick response, I hope, to what I hope is a simple question.
    I am trying to set up an iPhone 5S for repair.
    Normally, when we submit phones for repair (company, not consumer), we are not prompted for a proof of purchase after the request is entered.
    In this case, we are.
    Also, the system is showing that it's an iPhone 5 when it's a 5S - could this be causing havoc of some kind?
    Any insight would be appreciated since we've never had this come up before and I can't seem to find anything that speaks to it.

  • IPhone Rebate - Apple, you NEED a consistent policy!

    I have been reading (sometimes skimming) this forum for the last few hours.
    It is becoming very clear that Apple has been blind sided by this revolt. Did they think the kool-aid would make us turn a blind-eye to this blunder?
    I digress ...
    Some people are getting rebates, coupons, credits, etc. Others are not. Beyond the 14 day policy, some of the rebates seem completely arbitrary and out of 'luck'. This is not right.
    Apple, do the right thing. You know the morning press is going to be all over this. The stock hit wasn't enough?

    I agree with your observation re: consistency in the response. I was on hold with Apple Customer Service for about an hour or so. The Customer Service representative I spoke with asked for my iPhone serial #, confirmed my contact info and then advised me that I would need to contact the AT&T retail store (where the phone was bought) to request a refund or credit. Perhaps the AT&T retail store will provide some type of compensation (it's after hours in the East at this point). The mere fact that no one seems to have been prepared for the customer outrage is somewhat mind boggling to me.
    I've read the various musings re: Apple's ability to price their products as they see fit, etc. I concur that Apple's responsibiility is to shareholders and not customers. However, Apple had carefully built a reputation as a company with a higher level of corporate responsibility. That perception has taken a significant hit here, at least for me.

  • IPhone proof of purchase or proof of registration/activation

    My phone company has reset my iPhone plan and I need a proof of purchase or registration/activation to prove to them that I did not purchase my iPhone to the new date they reset my iPhone to.
    Is there anywhere on the Apple site or instore that they can prove when I bought or activated my iPhone? (Since you need to activate it via iTunes before you can use it)
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I have the receipt, but I just can't find it at the moment. And my two year plan is almost up. And my phone company were too lazy and insisted that they didn't stuff up on my plan, etc. They're just trying to make extra money

  • My Ipod needs hardware repair, but don't have proof-of-purchase

    Hi guys, I'm new over here. I don't know if I'm even posting in the right place, or if these forums are here for this kinds of questions. Sorry If I'm using them the wrong way...
    The thing is that I'm having some troubles with my Ipod Touch. I first realized that there was something wrong with it when I tried plugging to a car adapter. It kind of sounded over the radio, but with very low volume, lots of noise, and without announcing that it was charging.
    Then, I went to my computer, plugged it in, and notice that it wasn't getting any charge neither, nor wasn't being recognized by Itunes nor the typical USB discovery. Then I went to my nearest Apple Store and the guy told me that he needed a proof-of-purchase receipt to validate the warranty and repair the Ipod, and that if I didn't have one, I'd have to pay for the repair, and that for what it looks, I'm better off buying a new Ipod.
    The thing is that my mom bought my Ipod last November, in the Lenox Square Apple Store in Atlanta, and she then came to Venezuela and lost the receipt (maybe she forgot she needed it, or nobody told her about the warranty so she threw it away).
    My question is this basically: what can I do? I've thought of contacting the Lenox Square Store (preferable via email) to explain them what happened, so that maybe they could help me get something that would work as a proof-of-purchase, but there're no email addresses easily visible and I don't wanna waste a Long distance call just to get bummed out.
    What do you guys suggest?
    Thanks in advance, I'll appreciate every kind of help you could give; even if it's just "Dude, you're screwed."

    I did! And according to the link you gave, it says that my Ipod is Registered, Expired for Telephone Technical Support, and Active for Repairs and Service Coverage, with an estimated expiration date of November 26, 2010, which seems about right--that's the week my mom came back from her trip!
    So I'm a little bit more hopeful now, but still a little worrisome: the guy at the Apple Store checked the Serial Number using the bar code beneath the Ipod Box and said, "I need proof-of-purchase 'cause according to the system, this Ipod left a Store on May 2009, so it's ALMOST out of warranty, and Apple will require them that I give them a copy of the receipt."
    Still. I'm thinking of printing that screenshot and showing it to him.
    Thanks a lot luvlabs!
