warranty issues
i recently got an iphone and it was purchased from an apple store in USA. im thinking of unlocking it so i can use it here in the philippines. will
the one-year warranty still work if i will have my iphone fixed in an apple store here in the philippines in the future?
thank you for your answers!

Fact : Only Apple items in its original state are eligible for warranty.
Opinion : Without telling the Apple authorized service center anything about the history of the item (let them) except that it (if) is broken, you
might get the same warranties by virtue of it being an Apple product.

Fact : Apple service centers are required to service Apple items, period. If replacement is needed, it should be replaced, but this can not be applied
perpetually by Apple to its products, so they provide warranties, either included on the purchase price already or as an additional purchase based on
time.
Opinion : I think that any Apple service center would require you to confirm this condition prior to receiving warranty services. If you can not prove
such, they will still service your unit, but, lacking the proof, will require necessary fees. (Because your warranty can not be established). This is
the only way Apple service centers make money, when unit is out of warranty coverage.
If unit is serviced and warranty coverage can be proven, they will service your unit, however, the service center is limited to servicing your unit
only as close as possible to its original state, that means, they MAY remove your softwares, contacts, jailbreaks, configurations, etc, so they can
return it to you in a state similar to when you got it the first time. They are not even obligated to clean your unit, they will just repair it so the
problem you are reporting will be taken cared of.
Always register your purchases. Whatever you do to your unit is not Apple's business. They just want you to think and feel they are taking care
of you. All responses by Apple to your registration are electronic. Its really nothing personal. They send the same emails to a billion other apple
users.

I am sorry for a stupid question but if my iPhone got broken (heaven forbid) and I bought it from Globe, can I bring it to any Apple center? I am just
not that confident with Globe as an after sales messenger to Apple.

I think Globe is the official partner so definitely your covered for a year by Apple service center.
