iPhone Warranty Start Date

[Shutterfly]

I have both a retail and online units. Both of my warranty starts from the day I activated the phones.

Sometimes people do encounter their warranty starts on the day of invoice for online orders. All you need to do is to call up Apple and ask them to bring forward the warranty date to when you first receive the device.

Wow. So good that they are willing to do that.

Check back again in 2 days and see if the date changes to purchased date.

This was what happened to my set.
It briefly showed activation date. Then when I checked it again a few days down the road it reverted back to invoice date.

Nope they don’t. Have a few devices all based on activation date. So I’m 100% sure about it since I’m very anal when it comes to warranty.

even if bought from Apple Store it's by activation date.

unless you buy Apple Watch or Wifi iPad that kind, then the warranty date start from the date you bought it at the store.

Apple website claimed:

ONE (1) YEAR from the date of original retail purchase by the end-user purchaser ("Warranty Period").

Actually... this warranty i mostly bo chap, but it need to have at least 11-12 months of warranty, plus or minus 15 days i do not mind. I mostly get my phone thru 3rd party mobileshop. since i can save a few hundreds, warranty is always tricky on these. Like my XS, bought in Jan 20 but when i check the set online, warranty starts on 10 Jan. 10 days diff. But you can call up Apple and see if they are willing to change for you, but i am just plain lazy. lol

Wise choice bro. An iPhone bought a few months after it was originally launched, can garner a higher asking price. Now on carousell, so many XS/XS Max set with their warranty expired. But if your set still have 3-4 more months warranty, you can get at least $30-50 more.

So definitely it’s more beneficial to purchase iPhone a few months after the initial iPhone launch. In front save a few hundreds, at the end save a few. Adds up to a lot!

But then, most of us are so anxious to jump into the new phone vibe bandwagon. Launch day chiong to buy liao.

That is why warranty is tricky for me. Unless i buy in apple store. But once iphone launch past 3-4 months, it just make zero sense for me to get directly from apple. The saving is very notice-able.

Having said that, cannot wait for iPhone upgrade program to be in Singapore. Flippers on Carousell will die a horrible death.

If the trade-in pricing is similar to pricing offered by BrightStar, it doesn’t really serve a purpose. People will still choose to Carousell it.

Just want to update here. The start date indeed starts from the date you activate the iPhone and not the purchase date from the retail store. My friend confirmed this. The warranty start date and the purchase date differ by 4 weeks.
