Does it matter whether Rostest or Eurotest Iphone buy

First, let's decide whatActually the difference between Rostest or Eurotest devices. Smartphones with the prefix "Ros" on the package are certified devices for sale in Russia, and smartphones with the prefix "Euro" were released, respectively, for European countries. All devices imported into Russia legally must have a PCT certificate. Buying a smartphone designed for Europe, you are actually buying a "gray" phone.

How does this threaten the user and what is better to buy - Rostest or Eurotest device?

First of all, buying uncertifiedfor our country, the device, you may be faced with the fact that the smartphone will be oriented to the European operator and its use in Russia will be impossible. Unlocking, of course, is possible, but it costs, as a rule, expensive and carries certain risks. Also, the Eurotest phone used in Russia is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

Many sellers of "gray" devices claim thatThis is not the case, quoting an excerpt from Apple’s official website, which says that you can apply for warranty service for your product to an authorized service center closest to your location. This is absolutely true. However, Apple fulfills warranty obligations only to the first purchaser of the device, as stipulated in the relevant agreement, which you can also find on the official support resource.

If you are in the hands of the "euro" version of the smartphone, then you are not actually the first

owner - before you someone bought this unit inEU countries and illegally imported into the Russian Federation, where you purchased it. This means that in an authorized service center you will not even accept it for diagnosis and will refuse warranty service. Then someone will say that he is under warranty and is not going to ask for repair of the device, and the price tag is 4 thousand less for him more attractive.

But here, too, have their pitfalls - devicenot only repairs may be required. There is also such a thing as a factory defect or malfunction that cannot be repaired. In the case when the manufacturer bears a guarantee before you, the device is replaced with a similar worker or a refund. If you are the owner of the device, produced for Europe, then you will be deprived of this opportunity. Miserly pays twice, as the famous proverb says. Of course, to make a decision to buy a device Rostest or Eurotest, must be directly the buyer. However, this decision must be weighed.
