The warranty of an iPad is a great unknown for many users who are unaware of the repairs that are covered and their validity. That is why it is important to have well marked when the warranty expires on a calendar and in this article we explain how to check that date.
Importance of checking the iPad warranty
You must always keep in mind the date on which the coverage for factory default repairs on any device will meet. In this way you can have a clear record of whether something happens to the iPad may be covered. There are many people who are not aware of how many years of warranty their equipment has, always doubting between 1 or 2. That is why the company makes available to users the possibility of making a query of all the services that are covered with the warranty.
Using the Apple website
The Cupertino company has a space where you can check the coverage of any device, including the iPad. In order to have access to this information, all you will need is the serial number of the equipment to consult. This information is quite accessible since it can be found in the box where the device arrived on one of the labels that are included on the sides. If you do not have the box because you have already recycled it or you simply do not have the corresponding label, it can be consulted in other areas.
On the back of any iPad, right where the charging port is located, you will see in very small print the serial number that is preceded by the word ‘Serial’. You can also find it in the device settings by following the path Settings> General> Information.
Once you have the serial number of your iPad, you simply have to go to the Apple website and enter it together with a security code that guarantees that you are not a machine. The web at the moment will throw you all the data that exists in the Apple database about the iPad warranty. There may be some problems such as that the purchase date is not registered. This is something very typical that occurs when the iPad has not been purchased in a company store and has been purchased from a third-party store. Otherwise you can see what you have covered such as factory damage, telephone technical service as well as how much is left for it to expire.
Check the warranty in Settings
In the event that you do not want to make this query on the Apple website because you do not want to search for the serial number directly, you can make the query in the equipment configuration. In the latest versions of the operating system, this query option has been included in a very accessible way. You will simply have to consult the following steps:
- Go into Settings.
- Access the ‘Information’ section.
- Click on the phrases ‘Limited warranty’, ‘Extended warranty’ or ‘Coverage expired’.
At the top of this page you can view the general status of your team’s coverage. For example, it may be the case that it is limited for a period of time that ends on a specific date or simply that it has expired. As extra information, the different services that you have available are also offered, such as repair for accidental damage, repairs and paid services or telephone technical service. It is important to be clear about all these services to know if you can go to an Apple Store for a breakage to be aware of whether or not it will be repaired through some type of warranty that may continue to be valid.
