Other iPhone - No International Warranty?

[N1cBr]

Hi,

I'm going to be travelling to the US from the UK around the time of the iPhone 14 launch and was planning on purchasing the 14 Pro Max whilst I was there. However, I've seen some comments about the fact that there is no international warranty on iPhones - could anyone confirm whether this is the case, please? I wouldn't want to be stuck in the UK and not get my phone repaired/replaced. I'd rather pay more to purchase it over here on launch day!

Thanks 🙂

Here's a link that may help you.

Something to consider though are the different 5G and LTE bandwidths.
The UK ones are definitely different to the US ones.
Whether that will make a difference to you is your choice.

That's really helpful thanks.
I checked the bandwidths for the 13 Pro Max and I think it's more a case that there are the additional mmWave bandwidths for the US models but the UK bandwidths are all there - I'll check again though just in case.

I would buy it in the UK because of the consumer laws coverage.

The Apple International Warranty is valid for 1 year.
If you buy the iPhone in the US you'll have only 1 year warranty even with the 5/6 years warranty of the UK.

5-6 years warranty in the UK ?🤣 was under the impression that the UK default is 2 years warranty but that was before they left the EU.

I don't live in the UK but according to the link posted by henry72 it says:
"Under consumer laws in the UK, consumers are entitled to a free of charge repair and (depending on the circumstances) may be entitled to a replacement, discount or refund by the seller, of defective goods or goods which do not conform with the contract of sale. For goods purchased in England or Wales, these rights expire six years from delivery of the goods and for goods purchased in Scotland, these rights expire five years from delivery of the goods."

English is not my native language so I may be missing something 🙂
