Need a different country or region?

After you’ve contacted Apple for service, you’ll receive a kit that contains everything you need to return your product to Apple.

Important: Be sure to return your product so that Apple receives it within 10 days of the day your replacement product was shipped to you by Apple (check your ship date). If Apple doesn't receive your original product within 10 days, or if Apple technicians find that your issue was caused by accidental damage or unauthorized modifications, you'll be charged up to the full value of the replacement product. For more details, see ERS terms and conditions for service covered by Apple's Limited Warranty or an AppleCare plan or ERS terms and conditions for out-of-warranty service.

The warranty period will also be extended if the warranty repairs have not been performed due to delays caused by circumstances beyond the control of the buyer, or if the warranty repairs did not remedy the defect and the buyer notifies the manufacturer or seller of the failure of the repairs within 60 days after they were completed.
