Differentiating Iphone International Warranty, Official and Distributor Various kinds of warranties on iPhone Products from one of the exclusive electronics companies marketed by Apple Inc. The iPhone was first launched, the iPhone 3g in 2007 until early September 2016, the iPhone has released its products to the iPhone 7 plus series. From beginning to end Apple is always consistent with the features and design of its products.
Among the characteristics of the iPhone one of which is the base of the operating system that is well-known iOS anti slow and lag with iCloud security system so that data security and user comfort are very awake, Apple also always puts forward a simple, majestic, luxurious and elegant design seen from the current iPhone design which uses full metal instead of plastic as its body, even Apple eliminates the 3.5mm headset port on the iPhone 7 which proves that design is number one, the superiority of Apple's other products is the Display that uses Retina Display where one normal pixel in a regular display is divided by four again , so we won't be able to see a pixel in this retina screen.
Because the retina display is designed to be the same as the ability of the human eye to see the pixel, the retina requires irradiation on the back so that it causes Apple to still use the IPS LCD unlike other android smartphones that feature the Amoled display. That shows that Apple is very consistent in its products. This is what might have caused the iPhone to be liked by many people because nobody really liked it.
Apple Inc. iphone warranty
As the popularity of the iPhone, if considered many Android products that mimic the design of the iPhone. Even the iPhone is the pioneering nano SIM card for the first time to date many other smartphone products imitating it, other characteristics of iPhone speakers underneath, metal body, camera shape, etc. are all copied by several smartphones. This shows that the iPhone is indeed attracting the attention of the public until other mobile phone manufacturers imitate it.
As the popularity of the iPhone as well, at this time there are a lot of reconditioned / refurbished goods circulating that are not in accordance with Apple's standards, this is what damages the iPhone's image in the community, but a smart community will surely react to it easily. In our society, there are various kinds of iPhone warranties, there is a distributor guarantee, there is an official guarantee there is also an international guarantee. Interpretation of the iPhone warranty is sometimes also different among the people according to their respective knowledge. Therefore here will be discussed various iPhone warranties
Difference Between iPhone International, Official, and Distributor Guarantees
1. International Guarantee
What do you mean by an international guarantee? Actually there is no International Warranty term, but this sentence has developed in the community, what is meant by iPhone international warranty is iPhone products that are purchased directly in the country / manufacturer, can also be called pre-country because as is known in Indonesia there are no manufacturers of product makers Apple itself, which is the official reseller.
Products purchased from this reseller are called the Official Warranty. The International Guarantee is the warranty that most new and used iPhone buyers are looking for because they say that this International Warranty is good according to them. But that assumption is also not wrong. Because actually what is meant by this iPhone Inter Warranty is a warranty given by Apple directly to users without third parties. But to get this international guarantee the buyer must come directly to the iPhone manufacturer. The iPhone manufacturer closest to us is in the next country, Singapore. One more thing that needs to be observed in the iPhone is the country code where the iPhone is produced. iPhones manufactured in Singapore have the ZA / A code. However, what is widely circulating in Indonesia is the LL / a model where the country of origin is from the USA
The characteristics of an International Guarantee are
- This guarantee is guaranteed authenticity
- warranty claims can only be made in the country of origin
- There is no sticker attached to the front of the box
- There is no sticker containing the production code or anything in front / back of the box. Only original stickers from Apple
- three feet charger, because this three feet is indeed a European standard. But now
- many international guarantees that use two feet
- the plastic wrapping box is neat and supple
- original accessories
- There is no Indonesian language blend in the box
2. Official Guarantee
What do you mean by official guarantee? As mentioned in the point above. The iPhone Official Guarantee is a warranty from Apple's Premium Reseller or a second party in a country where there is no Apple factory. Like in Indonesia, although there are actually no Apple products from Indonesia, but there is a Premium Reseller that is legal and complies with trade laws in Indonesia, therefore the price will be more expensive than the price in the country because after entering Indonesia you will be subject to taxes and excise.
In terms of product quality and authenticity, the Official Warranty and International Warranty are both the same. The difference is the warranty claim where the International Warranty must claim the warranty in the country of origin of the product and the official guarantee that can claim the warranty at its Premium Reseller. Claim warranty is not carried out by the seller but the seller will help us to claim to his home country directly through this premium seller, so the claim process can take time. So if you want to buy a new one, it's better to ask between the International Guarantee or the Official Warranty, of course I choose the Official Warranty because we can get it in the water and we can claim the warranty in the land, and don't need to go abroad from where the Apple product came from.
In Indonesia there are several Premium Resellers including iBox, Story-i, eStore, Infinite and others with guarantees such as SES, TAM, SCM, Trikomsel and others.
3. Distributor warranty
What does iPhone Distributor Warranty mean? Distributor guarantees are third-party resellers. Almost the same as the Official Guarantee, the difference is if the official gets Apple's direct approval, but if the distributor is not (non-official). Usually the distributor's warranty on the front there is a sticker labeled with a 1-year warranty. A growing issue in the community that the iPhone distributor is where the spare parts or goods imported from abroad are then repaired by the distributor itself, in other words the distributor's iPhone warranty is a used iPhone that is packaged in a new package. That is why the price of a new iPhone with a 1-year distributor warranty is cheaper than an iPhone with an official 1-year warranty, the price can be 1 million adrift.
But the distributor's guarantee is not entirely bad, you can say it's also a chancy. Some get a defective and problematic iPhone in the future, but there is also a distributor's warranty that lasts for years. There are various distributors in Indonesia, including Bless, Platinum, The One, B-Cell and etc.
The characteristics of a Distributor Warranty are
distri iphone warranty features are stickers on the front bearing the name of the distributor followed by writing 1 Year Warranty. Distributors also accept warranty claims, but sometimes the process is difficult and there are some who are not responsible for providing parts
- Apple's warranty has expired even though the iPhone is still new
- sometimes found defects on the iPhone therefore we must be observant
- the plastic wrapper box is not neat and stiff
- Most accessories are KW / OEM
Now that's the difference between the Official iPhone Warranty and the Distributor Warranty, just make your choice as you wish, with all the risks at your own risk.
