INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY....TRUE OF FALSE??

What the actual warranty states:

sold the hardware product.

Meaning that if they do not have a replacement on hand to give you-you don't get warranty coverage.

If you buy a wifi only iPad in the USA, you will likely have no problem getting service in the UK as wifi only iPads are the same world wide. If you buy a US cellular capable iPad, then most likely you will be told that only Apple USA can offer service on that model.

Yes, Apple has International Warranty for iPad, iPods, basically you can bring your device to any Apple Retail Store(ARS) or Apple Authorized Service Provider(AASP) and they should be able to service your device. Now in terms of the turn around time for the sevice it varies per store because they may have to request for a nearby repair center for service units.

For iPhones its a bit trickier because if you purchased the device with a carrier or some (AASP) they may not be able to provide replacements on some countries and you would have to go back to the original country where you purchased the device from. But if you purchased the device directly from (ARS) or Apple online store they should be able to provide support in countries where AASP is available.

NO Apple do not now have international warranty on iPads

The warranty terms changed to the wording as iPhones when Apple started shipping different models to different geographies

iPhones do not have international warranty and NOW neither do iPads

Read the latest warranty terms

I think iPad do have an international warranty i already confirmed it through an Apple store here in my country. I started having problems with mine, i went to an Apple store and asked that and they said yes and that i should just bring the reciept and the unit of course they will take care of it even though i didn't bought it in the country that i'm in now and also i've contacted several people from Apple's customer support and they said the same thing.

Is your iPad a wi-fi only iPad or does it also have cellular capabilities?

Wifi only.

Which is why yours is honored internationally. Cellular iPads are not all the same and folks with a specific configuration have been referred to the country of purchase for warranty service because that is the country where that particular model is available.

Below is a letter I wrote to the Vice president of Apple. I received several calls but they never did anything about replacing my new i-pad 3 with the retina display. Even the the German sales manager said he wished they could express mail it back. They push Apple Care on their customers but can not even do warrenty service when they are sitting on mountains of cash reserve.

The problem I have is with the Apple Corporate policy that my warranty is only good in the US. I do not think that Apple users world wide realize that there product can only be taken to the US or Europe if they purchased the item there. Apple is a worldwide company and most people would think that service would be world wide especially since Apple pushes Apple Care. I purchased this I-pad in 12/2012 along with a new 13" MacBook Pro Retina, and a new I-phone 5. I replaced my old 13 " MacBook Pro, I-pad 1, and I-phone 4. They were all working fine but I knew I was going on a two-month trip to Europe on business and I wanted the latest and lightest to reduce the amount of weight I was carrying around. One day before I was about to leave I started having problems with the new I-pad. I took it back to AT&T in Davis, CA where I live and they agreed that I could take to the Apple Store and it would be replaced. By the time I found this out it was about an hour before the Apple store closed and it is 25 mi from Davis. There was no time to do that period. Further, I knew that there was an Apple Store in Munich where I would be working at the Technical University of Munich for 1-month. When I went to the Airport in Sacramento I called Apple and much to my surprise I found out that the warranty for Apple products purchased in the US is only valid in the US. This is after the first person I talked to used some of time I had before catching my flight selling me Apple Care for my new I-phone 5.

I am currently debating whether I should put story on Facebook and the web this policy by Apple. I am sure the world does not know that this is the case because everyone I talk to both in Europe are as surprise as I am about this policy. I am sure it is in the 20-page fine print warranty statement we are provided with. This is not the point because Apple users purchase your equipment and pay a premium for it because of its reliability and service. I think that the world will be shocked when they find out about the limitations of your warranty. Think what the world will think about this when you just issued billions of dollars worth of bonds!

A completely frustrated user of Apple products,

The warranty on your MacBook Pro is good anywhere in the world. The international warranty restriction is only on the iPhone and iPads with cellular capabilities (which yours obviously has since you purchased it at AT&T. And with the different LTE bands in differerent countries the problems are magnified with devices with cell capabilities. There is no way that Apple can keep iPhones that work on every frequency/band in the world in all places in the world. You'll find the same problem with other manufacturers of cell devices. If you read the warranty that came with your device you would have known this.

Word has leaked recently that Apple is changing its repair strategy and will move from replacement of the entire device (which is the problem with international warranties on cell devices) to repairs. As long as the repair did not require the replacement of the radio chipset then international repairs could be done.

sir deggie, is it true? that warranties of iphone 5 is valid in any country?

No.

Hey I have got a laptop from a dealer in india 662LLA it's a MacBook Pro 13 inch US model i wanted to ask that is there 3 year international warranty on it.as he told me that you will get a 3 year international warranty when I register the laptop on Internet but I don't think so.So please help me with this issue

New Macs have a one year warranty. If you purchase an Apple Care policy you can extend the warranty two additional years. Registering over the internet does not extend the warranty.

So is it possible that I will get the warranty in India of the MacBook Pro I purchased from us
