Apple's extended return policy is now in effect for the 2026 holiday shopping season. Most products purchased between November 6 and December 25, 2026, can be returned through January 8, 2027, in countries including the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Germany, Australia, and Singapore. Exceptions include some carrier-financed iPhones and iPads. Purchases made after December 25 follow the standard 14-day return policy (15 days in Canada). For online orders, products received during the eligible period qualify for the extended return window.
In select countries such as Mexico, Italy, Spain, and Japan, the return window is longer. Products purchased between November 6, 2026, and January 6, 2027, may be returned through January 20, 2027. The policy applies to purchases made at Apple Stores, on Apple.com, and via the Apple Store app. Apple has also updated its online store with holiday theming and gift recommendations to enhance the seasonal shopping experience.
