Short answer

Go to Settings › General › About and note the serial number, then enter it on Apple's Check Coverage page. It shows warranty, AppleCare+ and repair eligibility.

Know your coverage before something breaks. It also protects you when buying second-hand.

Check in 3 steps

  1. Open Settings › General › About and tap Serial Number to copy it.
  2. Visit checkcoverage.apple.com on any browser.
  3. Enter the serial number and the captcha to see your coverage.

What you will see

  • Purchase date validated or not.
  • Limited warranty and telephone support dates.
  • AppleCare+ or AppleCare One status.
  • Whether the device is eligible for service.

Buying used?

Ask the seller for the serial number before paying, check it against the phone and make sure Find My iPhone is switched off and the Apple ID is removed. Certified used phones from Find Next Phone come with their own cover.

Frequently asked questions

Does the warranty transfer to a new owner?

The limited warranty follows the device. Some plans have conditions, so check the terms.

It depends on the product and country; check Apple's terms.
