To check the warranty status of Apple devices, you must have the serial number ready. Apple generally offers a limited, one-year warranty.
Check your warranty status with Apple
If your Apple device is malfunctioning, check the warranty status to see if you are entitled to a free repair. A free replacement device may also be provided under certain circumstances. Visit Apple's support page and do the following:
- Enter the serial number of your Apple device in the text field provided. On iOS devices such as the iPhone or iPad, you can find this under “Settings” > “General” > “About”. The serial number is displayed.
- For a Mac or MacBook, click the apple icon in the top left and choose About This Mac > More Info… Finally, click “Continue”. The serial number is displayed.
- Once you have entered the number shown, you will be shown a wealth of information about the guarantee and the associated claims. You will also see the AppleCare Protection Plan protection here if you have completed this option.
