Is a contract iPhone 5 covered by Apple Warranty for the first year?

I bought a iPhone 5 handset from Gumtree which was someone's "unwanted" upgrade from 3. But now the speaker has just packed in. Is the phone covered by Apple since it's still obviously under a year old?

Yes, warranty is applicable as the phone is new and just released in market, there's no send for company to reject it's warranty as you are still paying the rentals

Yes you do get a 1 year faults warranty BUT, as you were not the original purchaser you encounter problems.

Best thing to do is just contact the customer support team tell them the speakers broken and arrange a pick up, if your luck they won't ask for proof of purchase as the phone is new to the market and if they do then maybe just say yup I'll send it with the phone as I need to check my records, but when you send the phone include nothing but a return address.

All iPhone 5's come with a standard 1 year warranty. Seeing as they only came out this year, your well within it!

What you need to do: Get onto the apple website and book an appointment at Apples "Genius bar". On your appointment, don't tell them you got the phone of gumtree, say it was a gift from a friend (if anything just try and not go into detail about where the phones from). They'll fix your phone 100% if its a manufacture fault (not if its to with something like water damage). 9.9/10 they'll fix it. You can book your appointment here:

Note: If you leave it and your warranty runs out, you will have to pay for the new parts. So do it now, its FREE!
