- Snippet from Wikipedia: AppleCare+
AppleCare+ is Apple's brand name for extended warranty and technical support plans. It allows the customer unlimited incidents of accidental damage with a deductible (which, like the price of the plan, varies by device). AppleCare+ is available for Mac, iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch, Apple Vision Pro, Apple Display, headphones, Apple TV and HomePod. AppleCare+ plans include Apple software associated with the covered hardware.
Most Apple hardware comes with complimentary telephone technical support and a limited warranty from Apple. In the United States, AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss runs alongside the warranty from the purchase date, and provides one-stop service and support from Apple experts. Customers can elect to continue their AppleCare+ coverage on an annual basis upon the expiration of their initial plan. The monthly option will run until canceled.
AppleCare+ is sold by Apple and its authorized resellers. It can be attached, via the serial number, to devices at the time of purchase, or up to thirty or sixty days (depending on location) post-purchase.
AppleCare+ also includes an express replacement service for iPad and iPhone. AppleCare+ insures against accidental damage, unlike the statutory warranty.
AppleCare+ services may be provided in all countries where the program is offered regardless of country of AppleCare+ purchase, subject to local terms and conditions.
AppleCare+ does not override any existing warranty laws or consumer rights laws.
As of October 2023, Theft and Loss coverage is provided in Australia, Austria, Chile, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the United States. AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss includes up to two incidents of accidental damage, theft or loss coverage at a reduced cost to the end consumer. Currently, Theft and Loss coverage is unavailable in some parts of Europe, South America, Asia Pacific, Africa, North America (Canada) or Antarctica. To be able to claim on a stolen or lost device, the customer's Find My feature needs to be active.
