Warranty iPhone 8

I want to buy iPhone 8 while on vacation in the USA but then return to my residence in Australia. Does my warranty from buying it in the USA transfer to Australia if something goes wrong? Any information would be appreciated.

No it will not, and it is very possible the US phone will not support the LTE bands in use in Australia. The warranty is country specific, as well as the region of the phone. I would wait until you get back to Australia and purchase a phone there. Much less hassle, and it is designed to be used there.

No. iPhone warranty will generally only be valid in the country of purchase.

If you buy the iPhone in the U.S.A you will need to return it to the U.S.A for service.

Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.
