How to check Apple warranty status?

To see basic info about your device’s Apple warranty status, visit checkcoverage.apple.com or check your device settings (Settings > General > About or AppleCare & Warranty). For Apple Watch: on your paired iPhone or Mac go to Watch app > My Watch > General > About. For AirPods: Settings > Bluetooth, then tap the “i” next to your AirPods. For more detailed insights, you can also use a trusted third-party checker.

Can you get a warranty on a fake Apple product?

No. Apple’s warranty (including the limited warranty, technical support, and AppleCare+) only applies to genuine Apple products purchased directly from Apple or an authorized reseller. Counterfeit or fake devices are not eligible for Apple warranty coverage.

How to check if your Apple warranty is up?

Use one of these methods: 1) Visit checkcoverage.apple.com and enter your device’s serial number. 2) Check device settings: Settings > General > AppleCare & Warranty. 3) Sign in to mysupport.apple.com with your Apple ID to view warranty status for your devices. For more detailed information, you can also use reputable third-party warranty check tools.

Can Apple products be tracked by serial number?

No. Serial numbers are not connected to GPS or location services and cannot be used to track a device. To locate a device, use Apple’s Find My feature, which works independently of the serial number.

What happens if someone gets your IMEI number?

Your IMEI does not grant access to your data or accounts and does not allow real-time tracking, unless used by law enforcement with proper cooperation. Potential risks include device cloning, fraudulent warranty claims, or blacklisting a device as stolen. Someone with your IMEI may also use public lookup tools to reveal basic device details such as model, purchase date, or warranty status. These scenarios are uncommon, and carriers, Apple Support, and law enforcement typically require proof before acting on an IMEI.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my Mac is still under warranty?

To see if your Mac is still under warranty, use Mac warranty lookup tool. Just copy your Mac serial number (Apple menu > About This Mac) and enter it into the tool. In a few seconds, you'll get a detailed report with information about Apple's one-year limited warranty, AppleCare+ or AppleCare One availability, and around 10 other key details about your device.

How long is a MacBook warranty?

By default, Apple gives a one-year limited warranty plus 90 days of complimentary phone support with every new Mac. This doesn't replace or reduce the consumer rights you may already have under local laws. For example, in the EU, consumer protection laws may guarantee up to two years of consumer protection. Apple also offers extended, paid plans like AppleCare+ (paid monthly or annually) and AppleCare One (paid monthly) that continue until you cancel.

What is covered under a Mac warranty?

Apple's one-year limited warranty covers manufacturing defects and hardware failures for one year after the device purchase. Accidental damages are not covered. For that, you'll need AppleCare+ or AppleCare One. With them, you get unlimited repairs for accidents like drops and spills, battery replacement, and phone tech support from Apple experts. Note that some repairs may involve a service fee. For example, battery replacements are free, but screen repairs include a $99 service fee, and major damage, such as liquid exposure, is $299.

Do I need my Mac serial number to check my warranty status?

Yes, the serial number is required to run a Mac warranty lookup, as it's the best way to accurately identify your device and its technical details. You can feel safe sharing your serial number on this page — we follow strict security standards. Setapp holds ISO 27001:2022 certification, is SOC 2 compliant, and adheres to GDPR requirements, which are among the most important international security frameworks.

Is there any difference between Mac and iPad warranties?

It depends. The standard one-year limited warranty is the same for both — covering manufacturing defects plus 90 days of complimentary tech support. The difference comes with AppleCare+ and AppleCare One. For example, iPads are eligible for theft and loss coverage, while MacBooks are not. You can explore more details with our iPad warranty lookup tool.
