Q: Warranty if iPhone purchased abroad?
If I buy an iPhone in an Apple Store in UK but I live in Italy, in case I need to make a warranty related claim in the period 13-24 months which is not covered anymore by Apple International Warranty but only by the seller warranty, may I expect to get this service from any Apple Store in EU or do I need to go back in UK?

It seems to depend on each country whether the second year will be honored.
Reading through a few of the Warranty terms for different european countries, Spain and Germany specifically state 24 months of warranty coverage.
The Netherlands does not go beyond stating a "reasonable time".
For the first year you should have no issues getting warranty service in Europe in any country.
For the second it will depend on the Country you wish to get service in.

I suggest you read the terms for each country, as yes the second year is dependent on the specific countries warranty laws.
