Great video. One question . Website shows “purchase date can’t be validated “ but macbook “about mac” showing 2 months left warranty. But when I click on coverage button it again complains about purchase date. Do you think MacBook is showing warranty with respect to manufacture date while it is not able to validate purchase date? Please reply
Is same happen to me. And I called to the shop, they said is the date of manufacturing. And the apple support ask to send the receipt of purchase. It's kind of weird that the coverage date is actually started from the date of manufacturing.
I bought an Apple Pencil 2, checked the serial number before opening the box (completely sealed, with the plastic tab and everything), but once I activated it, it stills says purchase date not validated! Do you have any idea on how to "start" my warranty?
I'm guessing because the Apple Pencil cannot connect to the internet per se to download firmware updates or anything of that sort, your purchase receipt is going to have to serve as the warranty.
Great video bro! So I did something a but different as I wasn't aware that the warranty automatically gets activated once the device gets connected to the internet. When I received my Macbook sealed, before opening I checked the coverage on Apple's website and it said "purchase date not validated", so I manually inputted the current date and the warranty got validated. Would it have been the same if I had just powered on and connected to the internet?
Hello, I ordered macbook air M1 from Apple India Store (21st January) and I got my MBA today (31st January). It was mentioned in the mail that it will arrive today. But my question is with the invoice and the warranty expiration date! In the Apple invoice, it mentions a delivery date of 24th January, and in the coverage page, the estimated expiration date is 24th January next year! You got any idea, that though I got it delivered today, why do the delivery date on apple invoice and expiration date on the coverage page both show 24th January?
Hello i checked the coverage support before buying the ipad, but it said device is not registered. So i didn't buy it. Is that ipad fake?? Becs it said device not registered
Warranties are 1 day less than 1 year because they count the day you order it. 1 year is 365 days. If you count from January 22nd 2021 to January 21st 2022, you'll get 365 days. Apple isn't cheating you. Lol
I received the MacBook air m1 today. Before opening the box and removing the plastic wrapper, I checked the serial number and I can not find that device. So why is that so? shoul I open the laptop and create an account and then it will show up or I shouldn't un wrapp it and directly return it? I am really confused please help.
i’m at point of buy one like that too with the plastics i put the serial number and the apple say it’s a macbook air but not say color and not say when buy
What if I buy used macbook, and serial number on the box is different from the one indicated in system of macbook. How bad is that? What does it mean? It's stolen or what..
I just bought a MacBook Pro m1 silver 7 hrs ago and open it immediately. As I check my serial number on the apple website right now it says "PURCHASE DATE NOT VALIDATED". Why does it still says that even tho I have activated and using my MacBook Pro right now.
My Laptop showed Valid Purchase date, but I have yet to open the laptop at all, it’s still in the box with the seal....does this mean it was previously used??? It’s supposed to be brand new
Someone definitely activated the product before you. What is the difference in days between your actual purchase date and the one on Apple's website? I suggest contacting your retailer. I don't want to come to any conclusion, but seals can be forged.

Unless you spot something problematic about the latest update (which I have not) on the internet, keeping the system updated to the latest version is usually a wise decision as these updates usually contain various security fixes.
Once you sign into your Apple account from your newly purchased MacBook/Apple product, it should automatically happen. Though it takes some time for the change to take place.
If you're buying official, there are only three options - Executive Machines, iCenter and Alohaishoppe. However, they'll charge you a pretty penny for the official warranty. In my opinion, the extra money is not worth it, assuming you can properly evaluate the product before buying from an unauthorized vendor.
@@MrNinja-hc8ib there are lots of retailers selling inactive products. You just have to do your own assessment before buying. I got mine from Digital Shop.
If you buy from BD unofficially, you likely won't be able to avail the warranty. There are some unofficial retailers like CustomMac BD who claim to give warranties, but they will make you jump through a lot of hoops for that. Your best bet would be to use the serial number to check if the product is new or not.
The serial number is only there to help you identify whether the product is new or not. For the vast majority of unauthorized shops, you will not be able to claim warranty here in BD. However, if you were to take the device to a compatible Apple Store abroad, then you would be able to, assuming you're still under the warranty period.
