Can You Return Apple Products After Opening?
December 6, 2024 - In the case of returning an iPhone, remember that Apple won’t handle figuring out what to do with the cell phone service set up on the phone. How you cancel that is up to you and depends on how things go with your specific provider. And no, if you purchased an Apple product at another store like Walmart, Target, or other retailer, you can’t bring it to an Apple location and expect to be refunded.

I bought an iPhone from Walmart and I want to return it at the Apple Store. Is this possible? Someone told me that if you lost your receipt, you can return it to the Apple Store instead. How does this work? - Quora
Answer (1 of 9): No you can’t do that. To return it to an Apple Store, you have to buy it from an Apple Store. I don’t know of any business that lets you buy a product from one company and then return it to a different company. Walmart bought the iPhone, removing it from Apple’s inventory.

r/walmart on Reddit: Walmart won't accept an apple watch for return
December 22, 2023 -

My son came home 2 weeks ago from his shopping trip. I then noticed he had an apple watch he was messing with. Well, long story short he got a lesson in why you don't buy yourself gifts before Christmas. He went in 2 days later to try to return it and they said they can't. It's been opened and out of the box for maybe 5 mins. He has the receipt.

Apparently he went to return it, they said is anything wrong with it. He said no, and they said it's not returnable.

I cannot find anything about apple products having a no refund. The most I can find is the 30day policy on electronics which states you can return if you are unhappy with your purchase.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Edit to clarify a few things.

  1. My son bought the watch not knowing I got him one for Christmas. I can't normally afford these types of gifts so he had no reason to suspect I had gotten him one.

  2. I bought the one I got in October on sale on Amazon. It is past the return date unfortunately.

  3. I understand if it can't be done, I am not trying to be difficult, or trying to scam walmart or anything. I am feeling (unreasonably I am sure, but none the less) guilty about the situation. It's out of my feeling bad that I am trying to figure it out. I should probably let him solve through this himself, he's 19 and these are life lessons he should learn. He already feels really bad about it lol.

Answer (1 of 2): Yes they do. Even though an item may appear to have never been opened, sometimes people returning the item have done a good job of retaping the box to make it appear that it has not been opened.

r/iphone on Reddit: In your experience, will Apple Stores will accept returns for 30 days?
September 12, 2025 -

Spoke with an Apple customer service rep who said that an in-store purchase can be returned for up to 30 days with no issue and that every Apple Store would honor this.

I purchased an iPhone 16 Pro a couple weeks ago just to try out the smaller size before I decided which 17 Pro to order (been using the Max for years). I totally forgot that the phones are only available for pre-order at first though, so needed a little extra time on my current device. I’ll return it after I switch everything over from the new one.

Either way I’m fine because I have the recorded call confirming I’m good. Just curious about everyone else’s experience.
