Check Apple's Website for Coverage
You can quickly check Apple's website to see if your device is still under warranty or eligible for repair or replacement.

Once you've entered the required information, you'll see a summary of your device's coverage, including the type of coverage it has, the coverage start date, and the estimated expiration date.
If your device is no longer under warranty, you may still be eligible for repair or replacement through Apple's paid repair programs.

Use Your Device's Serial Number
If you don't have your Apple ID handy, you can still check your device's coverage using its serial number.
You'll need to find the serial number on your device or its packaging. For iPhones, you can find it on the SIM tray or by going to Settings > General > About. For iPads, it's on the back or in Settings > General > About. For Macs, it's on the underside or on the original packaging.
Once you have the serial number, go to Apple's Check Your Service and Support Coverage page. Enter the serial number in the "Enter your Serial Number" field and click Continue.
