Hello. Unfortunately it is hard for us to answer this question. From my own knowledge, when you buy used from someone else other than Apple, you buy it as is and will have to pay to have any issues fixed. However, it won't hurt you to go to an Apple authorized store to ask.
Apple is definitely understanding to their customers and very appreciative. They should try their best to help you out.
The standard AppleCare is good for one year and automatically transfers to the new owner if you sell the phone within that Year. AppleCare+ is a little different. You can transfer it to the new owner or you can get a prorated refund based on the number of remaining coverage months. Personally, I would return it for the partial refund because transferring AppleCare+ requires that you give personal information to the new owner, and I wouldn't want them to have that. I don't even use my primary number for Craigslist sales.
That shouldn't be a problem. Schedule a Genius Bar appointment. They'll repair or exchange it for you for free.
I cracked my screen on my ip5 last week and went in to see how much to fix. They replaced it free with no AppleCare.
Yep. I'm going to have to not joke with certain members, I guess. Sad. This is the first time I've had to do this. Heck, I used a smiley and everything!
Wow! I am glad you did not go through with it. For others to know as well, where was this deal or sale being taken place? If online such as Craigslist, that can definitely be risky/dangerous.
That seems like a website that we are familiar with as well, eBay. Even we have to be cautious as well. Sometimes people on there do not post all of the details or issues that is wrong with what we are buying. Hope you find a better seller; one that will provide you with information to let you know that nothing fishy is going on!
That's exactly right, however sometimes transactions take place not at an actual businesss location and no paperwork. This is definitely risky. Look at the phone before you hand over the cash.
