How To Check Your Apple Warranty Status

This article explains how you can check your Apple product warranty status and eligibility to purchase an AppleCare product.

Apple designs, manufactures and sells various products, including the iPhone, the iPad, the Mac, the iPod, the Apple Watch, the Apple TV, the AirPods, the HomePod, and the other Apple-branded accessories (keyboards, etc).

Apple product warranties

Apple offers warranties on new or refurbished Apple hardware. When you buy an Apple product, it usually comes with the Apple Limited Warranty. This warranty, basically, says that Apple warrants your products against defects and workmanship under normal use for one year.

Apple offers additional warranties. You extend (and upgrade) your protection if you purchase AppleCare+ or the AppleCare Protection Plan. The pricing for this additional coverage differs. For example, Apple’s extended warranty service costs $199 for the iPhone X, XS, and XS Max, offering two-year coverage including accidental damage. You can buy this when you buy your device or within the 60 days of your purchase.
