Buying used Apple devices

I got an Apple device from someone else who also gave me the receipt with his name on it. Do I need to get any transfer letter or such so I can use the receipt in case I need to have my device repaired or anything else or I just keep the receipt as it is? P.s it is an individual buyer and direct purchase

iPhone Receipt Hi, I recently got a new iPhone to replace my old one, which was a 6S Rose Gold, 64GB. Now, I sold it to someone but they are requesting the purchase receipt. Is there someway that I can request this to Apple? Thanks

No Receipt provided for iPad purchase. I recently purchased an iPad from my local Apple store. The iPad was not in stock so the salesman went to a nearby computer and ordered one to be delivered three days later. I assumed he was asking that one be delivered from his area distribution canter, but learned that Apple considers this to be an "on line" order, which placed the purchase in a different category. My opinion was that I had made an in-store purchase, but Apple considered it as an "on line purchase." The salesman did not explain that to me. I was not given a receipt, and have never received an actual receipt at any time. I also purchased "Apple Care" for the iPad and in addition, I traded in my old iPad. When added to the initial purchase, there were now three transactions: Purchase of the iPad to be delivered. (No receipt.) Purchase of Apple Care, for which I was issued a receipt. Trade-in on my old iPad, for which I received a receipt.. Never at any time was I ever presented with a real receipt for the iPad I had purchased, even after I made several calls to Apple Support and made an actual trip to the Apple store I was told that I should save all the paperwork associated with the three transactions, and that together they formed my receipt. I am well familiar with what a true receipt looks like, and I still have no real receipt for the iPad. I do have the statement from my credit card company, which is the only proof showing the date and the amount I paid for the product. This is extremely strange.

Aside from the receipt, you should always make sure that the seller prepared the device properly because Apple devices are tied to the Apple ID they were first registered with wich would not allow you to download apps, upgrade the OS, etc.

You might want a "bill of sale" documenting the transaction between you both
