Understanding the warranty of imported iPhones

Buying a new iPhone imported from China may seem appealing. However, the question of warranty is crucial. Generally, iPhones purchased in China may not have the same warranty as those bought locally.

Types of warranty

There are mainly two types of warranty for iPhones:

  • International warranty: Allows you to have the device repaired in a country different from the one of purchase.
  • Local warranty: Limited to the country of purchase. It may not be valid in France.

Points to check when buying

Before importing an iPhone, here are some practical tips:

  1. Check the origin: Ensure that the seller provides clear information about the origin of the device.
  2. Look at the warranty conditions: Read the warranty conditions carefully.
  3. Check compatibility: Make sure the device is compatible with French networks.

The risks of buying without assistance

  • Difficulty in asserting the warranty
