A while back I wrote a post explaining how to find the warranty status of any Apple device.
That method works well, but it can involve multiple, time-consuming steps in certain situations.
However, you can quickly determine the status of your iPhone or iPad with just a few quick taps if the device is still in working order. Here’s how:
1 – Tap the Settings icon (it looks like a “gear“).
2 – Scroll down and tap General.
3 – Tap About.
4 – Find the “Serial Number” field and look at the field below it”. That field should display your device’s warranty status.
If it says Coverage Expired that means the device isn’t covered by any type of Apple-supplied warranty.
However, if it says either “Limited Warranty” or “AppleCare+” that means the device is covered by either Apple’s standard limited warranty or a premium AppleCare+ service plan.
Depending in on which one is displayed, click on Limited Warranty or AppleCare+ to view the date on which the device’s current warranty coverage will expire.
