Hello, matthew145!
Welcome to the Apple Support Community! Here we are users helping other Apple users by sharing experiences and possible solutions.
📌 Since this is the Portuguese-speaking Apple Support Community, you may also get more replies posting in the English community here:
📌 Honestly, if Apple gave you a specific return/exchange window (like the 10 days you mentioned), there is a real possibility that missing that deadline could affect the replacement process.
⚠️ However, since your situation involves:
- being out of the country
- and being unable to return the device within the timeframe for reasons outside your normal routine
there is still a chance Apple may be flexible depending on the repair/replacement case.
✔️ Sincerely, I would not simply wait until next week without notifying them.
📌 The best approach would probably be contacting Apple support as soon as possible and explaining:
- that you are traveling/out of the country
- when you will return
- and asking if they can extend or note the return deadline on your case
because these replacement logistics are handled directly by Apple/internal support systems.

📌 As your post was made some time ago, I sincerely hope everything was resolved successfully 😊
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
