I want to buy the new iPhone 5S in Germany. Is there a problem when I use the iPhone in Belgium? I heard there is always a worldwide limited warranty of 1 year. Is this correct?
There is NO world wide warranty on iPhones (or iPads)
However Apple treats the EU as one country for warranty purposes so a German iPhone is covered in Belgium
Frankly up to you but you will find hundreds of posts confirming EU warranty ,and one thread from Schillings ...work it out
Try it, Peter. 😕
@Jonas, whatever I say and have experienced myself bleaches to nothing when wjosten say it is different! wjosten is the absolute expert in these iPhone things!
thus you can go to Oberhausen (or one of the others in DE) and buy an unlocked iPhone, and bring it to the Apple Store in BE (there is one only) in case of problems, and they are responsible for the warrantee.
Perhaps the Apple Store in Luxembourg is even cheaper than DE.
@Peter, I apologize, but promise me to spell my name correctly😊
Ok😉
just shows how careful you have to be on posting unless you are certain
So I am sure I can safely buy an iPhone 5s in Germany 🙂 Thank you guys!
One more question: If I order the iPhone online, is that a problem?
Yes problem
Online Apple stores do not ship cross border even in EU
You will have to go to an Apple Store in one of the 3 countries
But I mean: When I order the iPhone online but ship it to an home adress in Germany at friends...
as long as credit card is German and registered to that delivery address ................................
Basic internet sales fraud prevention 😟
I've ordered the iPhone online an I have put the bill on my name and adress!
Can I buy the new iPhone 5S in Germany and hold the warranty for in Belgium?
