Buying an iPhone from US Apple store

Yes. Note that you'll likely be denied warranty coverage outside the USA.

Usually the warranty and Apple Care+ work only in the country where you bought the iPhone with the exception of the EU, there's a also a technical reason for it the iPhones can be slightly different or have different components so the repair would be impossible if not in the country of origin. Having said that to see if Saudi Apple Store is considering the US warranty and Apple care+ purchasable in the country you can call or contact the country Apple Support

This Limited Warranty is governed by and construed under the laws of the country in which the product purchase took place. Apple, the warrantor under this Limited Warranty, is identified at the end of this document according to the country or region in which the product purchase took place.

It's not an international warranty anyway as such. It's mostly related to the term and conditions of Apple Care+ and that could partially work in other countries I understand but I'd make sure asking the Apple Support of the country where I intend to take the iPhone

It's at the discretion of the people at the service center. They likely won't have international iPhone models on hand for replacements, and therefore aren't obligated to honor warranties or AppleCare plans from outside their own country(except when both are in the European Economic Area or Switzerland).

I think you would agree that a normal average user....like me....who was provided with the document by an Apple Store that you see linked below would be justified in believing that his phone will be covered internationally.

Yes, there is always the "fine print" in any document, but it's hard to find and most users would not read carefully far enough down into the document to catch the clever implied wording.

Can you find it?

Someone who is as smart as you are would figure out that a Worldwide Warranty isn't really worldwide, but my question was whether a normal user would think that his phone would be covered if the Apple Store gave him the document as part of the sale.

I didn't get that type of warranty format. I think there's a partial cover depending on the iPhone and on the country, but I think it's for Apple Care+. The warranty is more restrictive depends on the countries, like in the EU is valid in all the countries. But if you read this is even more confusing

unless it means it's a bit cheaper than not having a cover
