Buying from Carphone Warehouse vs directly from Apple

[anmila]

Not really sure where to post this so please redirect me to the right forum if there is one!

I'm looking to buy the iPhone 11 Pro - just the phone only, no SIM. I intended to purchase it from the Apple store online, but it's telling me that it won't be delivered for 2-3 weeks if I do this. I'm a bit reluctant to spend £1000 on a phone already, but to then not even have it for another 3 weeks just seems ridiculous to me.

It's supposedly in stock with Carphone Warehouse with free next day delivery. I've never bought from them before - is there anything I should be aware of? I'll have the phone insured separately but my main concern is if something goes wrong, I assume Apple would help to fix it whereas I'm not sure what situation I'd be in if I bought from Carphone Warehouse?

Thanks in advance!

It can be fixed under warranty by either CPW or Apple if you buy from CPW. I’d buy from either , if you’re going SIM free.

Thanks, Prosecco. Think I will go ahead and purchase from CPW then!

Check CPW guarantee. We always buy electronics from John Lewis - not only do they price match but also a 3 yr guarantee as standard. If your phone breaks under a year old, Apple will sort it out regardless of retailer. Over a year old Apple will probably charge you but the retailer might take responsibility depending on their T&C.

Agree with @PandaPaws99 - John Lewis.
