A self-proclaimed financial guru has revealed a ‘secret’ in Apple’s returns policy that many iPhone users are now dying to know.
In a TikTok video watched by more than 4.4 million viewers, Faares Quadri explained that the tech giant must replace defective products, such as chargers or AirPods, if there are no visible problems.
That’s because the fine print in the tech giant’s one-year warranty policy requires the company to replace or repair the product at no charge to the owner, but that doesn’t include the iPhone.
One person commented on the clip, saying they tested the tip from the policy and received brand new AirPods after their previous pair malfunctioned.

A full-time financial content creator, Quadri has gained a huge social media following by sharing insights into the company’s loopholes, saving consumers time and money.
In a back-and-forth between himself as an Apple consumer and employee, Quadri waved his Apple charger in the air and said, “I only got it last year and already there are problems with it.
“And under your policy, if you purchase an accessory and it stops working within a year and there is no sign of physical damage, you will receive a replacement accessory free of charge,” he explained before a copy of the policy appeared.
Apple’s warranty policy explicitly states: “If a defect occurs during the warranty period, Apple will, at its option, repair the product free of charge, … exchange the product for a replacement product of the same model … ” or a replacement of another model with similar characteristics to the original.
Several followers said they wished they knew about the hack a long time ago, with one writing: “I probably spent a million on chargers and Airpods and you’re telling me this now?”
The caveat is that you need to be prepared when you come to the Apple Store; just taking the product is not enough.
‘Do I have to show proof of purchase? Or do you just need to bring the charger?’ someone asked.
The “financial guru” responded, “Yes, proof of purchase, but if you bought it through your iCloud, they should already have it.”
