We have already reach out to apple support and their reply was that they found some unauthorised modifications and can’t disclose any further information & won’t be able to help further with the issue . What we wanted to know was what exactly and who exactly did the unauthorised modifications but dint get the reply.

I looked it up, and there are no Apple Authorized Resellers in Imphal. Also - the Sanmati Traders website seems to be dead.


As far as I can tell by looking up Apple's database, the closest authorized iPhone retailers in India to Imphal is in Shillong. Then several more in Guwahati. You might have gotten scammed one way or another.


Have you checked the warranty coverage with the serial number? It should be on a label on the original box, but could also be Settings > General > About - or the equivalent in your preferred language. Then enter it here:
