When checking the quality, it is necessary to take into account that the goods are transferred to the seller for up to 40 calendar days (depending on the requirement made by the buyer to the seller) and this period is included in the time to meet the buyer’s needs. This will be followed by advice from practising lawyers when contacting the seller:

What does Apple’s limited iPhone guarantee mean?

Separately, it is worth mentioning the Eple guarantee on its products. In the documents to the smartphone or other products, there is not quite an apparent designation for users, in the form of a limited warranty for one year. This concept implies the most common guarantee of the seller for goods in the usual sense of the word. 

The iPhone warranty is for one year. During this period, you can contact the seller and demand to eliminate various shortcomings of the product.

Consumer protection legislation has the concept of “service life”, which, in the case of the iPhone, is two years. 

This means that after a year when the warranty period has expired, you can still ask the seller to replace the phone, if the existence of a factory marriage, which arose not due to the fault of its owner (faulty “iron” or components, such as a digital camera.) That would establish the presence of a production shortage, the owner will need to conduct a study (examination) and after snub with the claim to the seller.
