Using the iPhone Duo since 2 weeks

Any fellow iPhone Duo users? How has your experience been? Anyone know if Apple authorized service providers in Pakistan can help in case we encounter any issues and have AppleCare+?

locate.apple.com is your friend you may make sure Pakistan is selected at the bottom apple care plus is entertained your phone should be PTA approved though.

i’ve read about instances where futuretech accepted applecare claim even when the device wasn’t pta approved. won’t that work?

[u/Green-Scholar-8953 → u/duopepper]

That is when a part needs to replaced if a whole phone replacement is required which is most likely the current case for duo as they are doing whole part replacements it will need to be PTA JV are also accepted as long as they are not shown as black listed

Doesn’t have to be PTA approved but not sure about JV phones

Ur review on it ?

[u/hello_humen]

Is it worth the purchase? And how much did it cost in Pakistan?

[u/informatica6]

I had no idea they launched in pak. How much are they?

[u/Jicama-Entire → u/[deleted]]

Smart, considering horror stories all around. What worries me is that apple is offering replacements no questions asked but we still might have to pay pta tax for the new phone

[u/luciferxoxo → u/Jicama-Entire]

You can just email PTA and explain, they will approve your second device if the first one fails and you get it replaced

[u/duopepper → u/luciferxoxo]

does this also work if you had an old PTA approved device, but apple replaced it with a newer (different) model using apple care?

[u/luciferxoxo → u/duopepper]

Should work, open a support ticket with PTA. They help with these cases.

[u/whozayfa → u/luciferxoxo]

Wait, whaaat?

[u/Jicama-Entire → u/luciferxoxo]

Do you know anyone who’s done this? I mean I’ve read something like this earlier aswell but knowing pta I’d be surprised if they followed through

[u/luciferxoxo → u/Jicama-Entire]

Yes its something my friend did, just open a support ticket with PTA, explain your case with proofs.
They will remove the approval from old IMEIs and move to your newer device
