When you buy an iPhone, Mac, iPad, or even AirPods, one of the essential things to understand is the Apple warranty that protects your investment. Even though Apple designs its devices to very high quality standards, no electronic product is completely safe from unexpected issues. A component might have a defect, a screen might suddenly stop displaying correctly, or a button might become less responsive over time. In all these cases, knowing how the Apple warranty works allows you to enjoy your device with peace of mind.

In this article, we'll answer the main questions our customers in France have:

• What are the exact duration and scope of the Apple warranty?

• What specifically does the Apple iPhone warranty cover?

• What should you do if your device is no longer under manufacturer warranty?

• And most importantly, how can you benefit from an even more comprehensive service through C&C Care, an exclusive offering from our C&C stores in France?

Understanding the standard Apple warranty

As soon as you purchase your Apple product, you automatically benefit from a limited manufacturer's warranty. This is commonly known as the Apple warranty, valid for one year from the date of purchase. It complements your rights under French law, notably the two-year legal warranty of conformity, which protects you in case of a defect existing at the time of delivery.

The Apple warranty primarily covers:

• Hardware defects due to faulty manufacturing.

• Malfunctions encountered during normal use of the device.

So, if your iPhone has a display problem without prior impact, if your MacBook suddenly won't start, or if an iPad's battery drains unusually fast after only a few weeks, these situations can be covered under the Apple warranty.

Apple iPhone warranty: protection that reassures

Many of our customers specifically ask about the Apple iPhone warranty, as the iPhone is now at the heart of their personal and professional lives. The screen, battery, and connectors are the most heavily used components, and therefore the most likely to show signs of weakness.

During the Apple warranty period, the following repairs are generally covered:

• A screen that turns black or shows anomalies without having suffered an impact.

• Face ID or a Home button that stops working.

• A battery that is clearly defective after a low number of cycles.

However, it's important to remember that the Apple warranty does not cover accidental damage. A fall that breaks the touch screen or liquid spilled on your iPhone would fall under another type of service. This is where complementary solutions offered by C&C come into play.

What to do after the Apple warranty period?

After the two years of protection (legal and commercial), your device is no longer covered for repairs related to initial conformity defects. If a problem appears after this period, you will then have to finance the repair. Many users think it's sometimes better to buy a new device, but that's not always the case. A well-executed repair, with genuine Apple parts, often extends the lifespan of your iPhone or Mac by several years.

At C&C, we are an Apple Authorized Service Provider. This means we exclusively use official Apple parts, and our technicians are trained to perform interventions according to manufacturer protocols. Thus, whether your device is still under Apple warranty or not, you maintain Apple's reliability, security, and quality.

C&C Care: the solution to protect your devices beyond the Apple warranty

If you're looking for total peace of mind, C&C has developed an exclusive service for you: C&C Care.

This is an assistance program that covers accidental damage to all your Apple devices. With C&C Care, you benefit from an unlimited number of repair interventions for accidental breakage, cracked screens, or even liquid damage, subject to the contract conditions.

C&C Care is an ideal solution for those who want to avoid unpleasant surprises and continue to use their iPhone, iPad, or Mac without fearing the hazards of everyday life. You can activate it directly in-store or on our e-commerce platform, when purchasing a new device, or even retrospectively to extend the coverage of your existing hardware.

So, even after the Apple warranty ends, you have the certainty of still being protected and benefiting from repairs performed by certified technicians with genuine parts.
