Actually 2 employees in 2 stores from 2 different chains told me the same info.
(One actually said the new rules apply from around the end of last year, though the warranty pages were updated March 2013. Maybe just bad memory.)
I understand if you buy an iPhone from the US Apple 'may' restrict warranty for you:
https://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/iphone-english.html
IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE.
Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.
'May'. Do they restrict or not? Why they are not clear about it? Meh.
But here are the rules for iPhone warranties in the EU:
https://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/iphone-english-uk.html
I did not read it yet carefully but looking for keywords I did not find similar restrictions apply for iPhones sold in the US.
Can we conclude iPhones sold in the EU finally come with the global warranty?
