If i get a replacement phone from asurion does the one year apple warranty restart?

Paid for an iPhone 6. It broke and I was out of warranty through apple. Asurion replaced with a new iPhone 7 and I am curious if the one year warranty through apple begins again with the new phone activation.

Even if it had been replaced by Apple out of warranty, a replacement would not come with a new one year warranty. Once your manufacturers warranty has expired, Apple warranties their repairs or replacements for 90 days.


But a device with expired warranty replaced by anyone else (insurance, carrier, or whomever) has no warranty at all with Apple.

If Asurion replaced it with a new iPhone 7 (not refurbished) it does have an Apple warranty that starts on the date that Asurion acquired it. Go here: Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support to check it.

That's interesting. We used to send customers through Asurion for warrnanty service when Asurion sent them a new phone. Good to know.

It depends on what Asurion gives to the person for a replacement phone. Since they sent the OP an iPhone 7, and not an iPhone 6, I'm guessing they sent a new phone rather than a refurbished but they will be able to tell by checking the coverage. They just did the same thing for a person I know and it was new and had been purchased only 5 days prior to them getting it.
