    Hi
    Another quick question. If I buy my phone in another country and it is faulty and I have to send it back to Apple, do I have to send it back to the country it was bought in or can I send it back to ireland?

    Thanks again x

    I’ve. Ought a few iPhones in the USA.
    On one of them I had a fault under warranty and Apple told me that the mail in service was not available as I was in Ireland and the phone was bought in USA but if I got to an Apple store (Belfast been the nearest one) they will replace the phone.

    This was a few years back (iPhone 6) so maybe it has changed.

    This is my fear alright. I’m a good bit away from an Apple store. Thanks for the reply
