Does anyone know if this is eligible for AppleCare? That is, I’m not sure if reconditioned products are. Thanks!!
I purchased two GPS S8’s in January and two Cellular S8’s in April. I’ve learned a lot after 6 hours with two senior advisors at Apple. The “one year Apple warranty” advertised on Woot started last year sometime (In my cases November and December for the GPS S8’s and October for the two Cellular S8’s–which I was told was when Apple released the reconditioned items to a reseller.). I was not able to buy Applecare+. New purchase receipts had no effect on the hardcoded warranty expiration dates on each device.
Call back and try a different apple rep. That’s worked for other customers.
For clarity, are you are stating that Apple will change the device expiration date to grant one year warranty from the Woot purchase receipt date? The advisors both encountered two problems in trying to do that. First, they encountered a “system” requirement to enter a purchase date within a specific 90 day window of time displayed on their screens and second, even if entering that date at the end of the window, which would appear then to produce a different date on the device, it did not. Elsewhere I have read that Apple indeed sets the expiration date when the device leaves their hands and if it sits with a reseller somewhere, that consumes part of the warranty.
Hi there. This might help:
