HHi, I'm travelling to Cancun Mexico next month and I'm wondering if I purchase a iPhone 6 there in a Apple Store,if there is one, can I take it out of the box when I return home to the UK and it will work meaning just charge it up as normal and i can use as normal.
THanks.
Ian.
It may not work with LTE cell data and to get warranty service you will have to return to Mexico.
Don't do it. To begin with, the warranty is only valid in the country of original sale. You would have to physically take the device back to Mexico to receive either in or out of warranty service.
It mioght work, but it might also be locked to a Mexican carrier which means it will not work and you will not likely get it unlocked for another carrier.
In addition, the warranty will only be valid in Mexico - if you have a problem you will have to return to Mexico to get service, Apple will not accept the iPhone if you send it to them. Nor will Apple-UK provide service on it since it was not purchased in the UK.
There will be no warranty in UK and the model sold in mexico is not the model sold in the UK and Europe by Apple
and if you inadvertantly buy an iPhone that is locked to a mexican carrier it will not even activate in UKlet alone work
Thanks.
