It is helpful to know whether your iPhone or your Android phone is protected by warranty, or if it falls under AppleCare. In a situation where you need your device repaired, trying to solve a problem, or indeed, even verifying whether the device is under warranty or not, is where we find the above fact about warranty status useful.

This guide will tell you how to find the warranty status, what you get, and how to determine when your warranty runs out on your device.

Checking Your Apple Device's Warranty

How to Know If Your Phone is Still Under Warranty

Apple provides you with limited warranties as well as special AppleCare agreements so that your particular device remains in optimum condition. Here's how you can check if your device is covered by either:

1. Using Your iPhone or iPad

• If you have either an iPhone or iPad, the process of checking the warranty status is easy:
• Open Settings.
• Tap General.
• Select AppleCare & Warranty.
• Select your device to see warranty coverage details.

2. On Your Mac

If you have a Mac, you can check your warranty using the following:

• Click on the Apple Menu at the left of your screen.
• Select System Settings.
• Go to General and click on AppleCare & Warranty to view your device's warranty information.

3. Online through Apple

You may also check your warranty status via the official Apple website with these steps:

• Go to checkcoverage.apple.com.
• Enter your device's serial number (found on the back of your device or in the settings).
• Follow the on-screen prompts to view the warranty status.

4. Apple Support Website

Another option is to go to mysupport.apple.com. Sign in to your Apple Account, select your device, and view details about your coverage, including hardware repairs and technical support eligibility.

What's Covered by AppleCare or Warranty?

Knowing what is under warranty or covered by AppleCare is important to know which forms of support and service availability exist. With AppleCare, your coverage may include things such as:

• Hardware issues: This includes problems in its parts, such as the battery and display, or faulty parts within.
• Technical support: Call for help from Apple experts or to troubleshoot, including its software and device configurations
• Accidental damage coverage: Protection against accidental damages, with any additional service fee at different times.
• Longer coverage period: AppleCare will extend the coverage period beyond the one-year standard warranty, thus giving you peace of mind for longer.

How to get your proof of coverage or agreement number

If you need to prove your warranty for service purposes, say, a repair or replacement, here is how you can do it:

1. Go to mysupport.apple.com
2. Sign in to your Apple Account
3. Select your device
4. Click on View Proof of Coverage to get the warranty details and the agreement number.
5. If you fail to find these details, then you need to have two-factor authentication enabled on your Apple Account.

How to Check the Warranty of Your Android Device

While Apple has a set procedure, for Android devices, such as Google Pixel, there are several ways to check the warranty:

1. Using Your Phone's IMEI Number
You can use the official Google warranty check page by entering your phone's IMEI number. Here's how:

• Get your IMEI number on your Android phone by dialing *#06#.
• Visit Google's warranty page.
• Substitute the placeholder with your phone's IMEI number.
• Follow the instructions to see if your device is under warranty.

2. Google Support Page

You can also visit the support section of the Google Store and sign in with your Google account to check warranty details for your device.

What to Do If Your Warranty Has Expired

If your warranty has expired, you may still be covered for some repair services, although these will probably cost extra. You can contact either Apple or the manufacturer of your device to ask about options for post-warranty service.

For Android phones, third-party repair services may also offer repairs at a cost.
