Send back USA to claim warranty.

No. But you can always call to Apple Support Centre To make a repair/warranty claim request with reasons like you purchase one when you were studying/working there and now back for good or whatever stories you can make up for it. Then they will contact local authorized service centre and give permission for that. Claimed once with Malaysia Set in Hong Kong Apple Store, and Hong Kong set in Malaysia Authorized Service Centre.

Of course sometimes it depends on luck, too. Or bring it to nearest countries' Apple Store to make the claim. Nearest now is Hong Kong or Singapore by end of the year.

i don't think so. if us set then the warranty need to be claimed from apple us.
only malaysian set can claim from apple malaysia.
like my friend previously bought his iphone 6 from australia then when he wants to claim for warranty he needed to sent it to apple australia because apple malaysia said they didn't cover overseas set iphone

Nope. No warranty from apple Malaysia..
U needed to bring to US

thanks for all reply

I managed to claim my Singapore set iPhone in Malaysia Service Centres like Mac City.

Is the US set a bit different than the Singapore sets? If they are not, then there should not be any issues with claiming, right?

Is basically a simple matter of warranty policy and has nothing to do with the phone
Spore set can be claimed at Malaysia as there is an agreement between them and Spore will handle all issues that Msian centers are unable to solve. All spare in Malaysia are imported in through Spore too

Thanks.
Basically if I bought in Singapore, no worry on warranty because I can claim in Apple Malaysia too

Usually the first batch from Singapore, Hong Kong, UK, US etc sure got problem such like battery discharging problem. That's why we need to wait for Malaysia set.

if you wanna exchange the 2 pin plug to 3 pin. pls pm me

Where did u get that idea from?
Have u try it before? Or is it once off lucky?

APPLE has international warranty but not in MALAYSIA because there is no APPLE store here.... it is going thru authorized dealer/reseller... not sure is MACHINES or EPIC something .... so the warranty is claimable from those authorized dealer only.. and they are not APPLE, so the warranty is not same.

APPLE is 1 exchange 1 in US, but in malaysia, you send back to autho-dealer, you wait for next week.. they solve your issue, for e.g. change screen, battery...blablabla.... so it is not 1 to 1 exchange on the spot...

so i think if you buy from US, you can claim from APPLE SG ... coz SG has Apple store....

of coz.... i not sure coz i nv buy any Apple from US or SG or any other places except MY ... i might be wrong.

if not mistaken
they are for local set they not doing repair
they will order a new unit for you, you always can check the serial number.

my previous claim they do replace me a refurbish unit with different serial number.

double post

i talked to apple and they confirm it;s covered in Malaysia as long as the iPhone you send in for repair is available / launch in Malaysia.

As for the Apple Care +, Malaysia is not inclusive. If you had bought Apple Care +, you need to send to Singapore for repair claim.

Does that means iphone bought outside Malaysia, eg Aussie, HK set can send warranty claim here?

So means confirm us set Warranty its cover at Malaysia

Us set can send over all apple centre for claiming purposes:)

thanks for the info bro, definitely going to buy US set. Much cheaper

How about Australia or Singapore set?

SG set yes. got some agreement with them.

Aussie set, I'm not sure about it

This thread needs to be pinned.

Questions like these had been asked like 10000 times in these very forum.

Good info btw.

Meaning worldwide warranty? Good for apple.
Guess we can buy imported set as long as its cheap and genuine set.

Good. Now can look for cheaper i7 for in singapore.

Can double confirm in this? At set international warranty.

Yeah. Those looking for X would be 4.2k (US) vs 5k plus in RM.

Beware of the sim lock issue, instead of the warranty issue.

We used to change phone not because of the faulty, but the new series phone in the market. However, the update of iOS will cause the sim lock if you were to purchase oversea set.

Think twice.

p/s: please correct me if I were wrong.

can further clarify the bold part? what causes sim lock? if thats true that no one will buy oversea set.

I managed to claimed ip7 SG and ip7+ HK at mat coty 1U

Only phone that used turbo sim

I thought all oversea set locked with their respective country sim?

Now unlocked already?

Regarding the bold statement, as far as i know, oversea set like US UK and so on are locked with their respective country simcard. Therefore, any reset/restore/update of phone might require the local simcard to unlock the phone.

For example, if you purchase UK set, you need UK simcard to unlock the phone once before you can insert Malaysia simcard.

i am not sure if oversea has started selling unlocked set which does not require any local simcard, if yes you may purchase since there is no software restriction.

Maybe if u buy from telco , coz since ip6 i bought all oversea set . US , HK etc . No problem

Meaning directly from apple retailers yeah?

Yup 😊

They have already been selling unlocked set since long ago.

As long as it is not carrier tied, the phone is free to use with any sim the purchaser wants.

Logically, if Apple were to lock the phone if you put a foreign sim, then you would hear ppl complaining about that in forums when they travel to oversea and uses their local sim card.

Thanks for the update.

But why i am trying to express on sim locked issue is when the set first start operation (restore/update/reset), it requires local simcard. afterwards, it does not require anymore.

Anyway, how to detect if that phone is tied with oversea telco plan?

Thank

any problems u have to go back America to repair. A simple google search on this topic would have got u the answers earlier? Learn to use Google next time for important decisions like this.

Learn to read the personal experiences and feedback from forummers here (with screenshots no less) rather than be skeptical and google it and what's not

I personally call apple Malaysia long ago and yes, foreign apple store set is claimable here
Only telco sets are excluded

Guys,
I'm going to buy unlocked iphone at Dubai Apple Store next week..
Browsing through the thread - HK/SG/UK/Aussie set are claimable.. what about UAE set? anyone came across this?

Thanks

Try call Apple Malaysia and confirm it yourself better

UAE set no facetime ryte?

http://voipnina.com/is-facetime-banned-in-...acetime-in-uae/

X in US would be 4.6K MYR.

999 + 89 Tax + 1% Creditcard conversion + 4.23 exchange rate

Same with HK sets then.

LTE band different. Don't buy US set. There is reason why it's cheap.
