Bear in mind that iPad warranty is only valid within the country it was purchased, just like the iPhone if I am not mistaken smile.gif

yes, iPad is cover by local warranty. which means that if you brought in US, you only can claim in US. For those who plan to buy those "imported" units, bear in mind about this terms. The seller can tell you until you can claim it in the heaven, but just go to apple.com read yourself.

Good luck for those choose to have it on hand 1st, if you faced any overheat problem or WiFi problem or even apple is decided doing any recall, make sure the guy who sell it to you provide the service to send back to state to claim your warranty!

I found some of the seller in LYN does sell iPad and mentioned that international warranty or singapore warranty. think 100time before you believe on it. Every ipad can easily identify their origin location by checking the serial number, i don't think any support can able provided to you time being in this region...

Dude, I have a suggestion for you, don't buy from the US, buy from Malaysia. Complaining about it here won't solve your problem and won't convince other people who are willing to buy from the US.

I m not worry about warranty claim if apple product quality is high. I m not sure about that cause I never own a apple product before. And how reliable is it.

The main consent is the battery. The battery only can last 2-3yrs and start to degrade. Would the apple co. here change it for you with a price? Or tell you got to send it back to US? (which are rediculous)

Well Apple has been known to be reliable and consistent in its product quality. Not until recently especially with their new product refresh like iMacs, etc, we heard enough. For the iPAD, we heard about WIFI issues and heat problems causing the OS to stop responding momentarily.

Let me give you an idea on buying an overseas product with no warranty support locally. The Nexus One was plagued with RAM problems in one of its first batches. Causing crazy reboots like it has a mind on its own. The buyers? They didn't really get stuck. They can still return it through the traders. They could go through the Singapore route for repairs. Its just a lot of inconvenience and disappointment from the users.

My iBook G4 is 6 years old and still running great. My Macbook air died within months.

To answer your question above, any manufactured products can and have defects. As far as i can remember from my experience, although apple products are more sturdy than their counterparts but that doesn't mean they have no defects.

Well,i would be concerned of a valid warranty for an iPad of such value regardless of the company's background. You wouldn't want a RM2000 paper weight tongue.gif

ppl been rumours about its wifi...

found this -

http://topnews.net.nz/content/23180-apple-...ectivity-issues


well, as apple user of iphone, macbook, [ipod touch, ipod video, nano -before], their products are so far so good (touch wood laugh.gif ), I hv claimed warranty over a ipod touch- earphone jack defects (got it 1 to 1 replacement), macbook & iphone casing- unreasonable hairlines appeared.

For my macbook, Apple at first refused to cover the replacement as casing was not under their warranty, after appeal, they replaced a new casing from apple singapore and i paid for the labour biggrin.gif

I did brought gadget from oversea and here too for many yrs. So far I don't encounter warranty issue. Cause I will check the product reliability history. If not reliable, I will makesure it have int. warranty.

My example 1. Many yrs before I brought a sony camcorder in HK. The gadget got problem from the beginning. Claim warranty here in malaysia. They replace a new one for me. That is I makesure got int. warranty.

example 2: Recently brought a NAS from US. Cheaper rm1000 from here. But I will not get the warranty from US and here too. Cause I intend to mod the NAS from beginning. That will void the warranty. So no point I buy from here cause it expensive.

i am not sure whether no tethering because AT&T does not allow it but here in malaysia i can my tether macbook via bluetooth.

so not sure whether can tether iPad with iPhone via bluetooth. anyone has an ipod touch and an iphone to test?

Added on April 12, 2010, 12:21 pmgood news, USD is dropping like mad compared to MYR

nearly got an iPad (64GB model seems to be selling out very fast) but decided to wait for the 3G model after watching the iPhone OS4.0 keynote. MIcro Sim if follow the US model means you can subscribe on demand and not sign yearly long term contracts, which is fine. but the built in GPS would be a great benefit when multitask comes. imagine a 10in Navigation system in my car biggrin.gif

I just read from Apple website on its legal session pertaining to ipad warranty, a brief check out, it did mentioned that Apple may restrict the warranty service to the country of purchase, but i dont see "black and White" indicating warranty is strictly limited to the country of purchase...

One clause in all of its policies will give it freedom to change any policy to however it like. So no need black and white. Its automatic. Even if you have an older revision of the terms and condition, Apple reserves the right to change any of that without requiring notifications unless certain rights stated by law.
