Apple India will not work on iPhones that were not purchased in India.


Since you had a repair shop open your iPhone, Apple anywhere will no longer

work on that iPhone since you voided the warranty. Warranty on iPhones

has always been valid only in country of original purchase (EU is considered

one country for this purpose). If your iPhone was originally meant for sale

in Dubai, the warranty would have been valid there; if it was a grey market

iPhone, the warranty would have been valid only in country of original purchase.
