What does the term "In Warranty" imply about repair costs?

The term "In Warranty" signifies that the device is still under the manufacturer's warranty, which means that any repairs needed due to defects in materials or workmanship are typically covered by Apple's warranty policy. This suggests that the customer does not have to bear the cost of repairs for issues that fall within the warranty scope, thus leading to the conclusion that repair costs during this period are usually covered. Warranty conditions may vary based on specific terms and the type of damage, but generally, Apple's policy aims to protect consumers from incurring expenses for repairs when their product is under warranty.

In this context, while repair costs can be high, they don't apply when the device is in warranty, and while the service provider may determine costs for out-of-warranty repairs, it would not be relevant for in-warranty situations. Advance payment is not relevant in warranty claims, as the customer is typically not charged for covered repairs.
