AT&T iPhone 4. Warranty out of US?

[fruitycups]

Hello,

in about a month, im taking a trip to visit spain, korea and germany. Im currently using an iphone 4 unlocked via gevey sim. my question is, if my phone fails in spain/korea/germany could i go to an authorized dealer and get it replaced or would i be SOL cause it was purchased in the states.

i should mention that my warranty is active till March 2012 (applecare).

Warranty is good world wide.

In theory. However, their warranty ToS clearly states:

IMPORTANT RESTRICTION
Apple may restrict warranty service to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the Apple Product.

I think it's unlikely they'll deny it for an AT&T iPhone. I think they'd only do that in certain circumstances such as not being able to replace a Verizon iPhone 4 or Verizon iPad (among other things) outside of the USA. Still, there is a possibility.

Iphone does NOT have a international warranty.

Service will be limited to the options available in the country where service is requested. Service options, parts availability and response times may vary according to country. You may be responsible for shipping and handling charges if the Apple Product cannot be serviced in the country it is in. If you seek service in a country that is not the original country of purchase, you will comply with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and be responsible for all custom duties, V.A.T. and other associated taxes and charges. Where international service is available, Apple may repair or replace products and parts with comparable products and parts
that comply with local standards.

This indicates that they WILL service it in countries where service is available (i.e. where there is an Apple store or repair facility).

I can't copy and paste from that link as I'm on my iPad. If you look at the Important Restrictions section on there it also says they may restrict warranty service to the country where it was originally sold. Repair may well be possible but trying to replace a phone that is locked to a network in another country due being on contract may not be possible.
