When purchasing a new computer, it is important to know what kind of warranty you are getting. The last thing you want is to have a malfunction in your computer and not be covered under warranty. Apple, being one of the most well-known computer companies, has a strong warranty policy that is important to know about when considering purchasing a new Apple product.
Apple offers a standard one-year warranty on all its new products. This includes all Mac computers, iPhones, iPads, iPods, and Apple Watches. The warranty covers all hardware defects and malfunctions that arise during normal use. If your device is found to have a defect, Apple will repair or replace the device, free of charge.
The standard warranty also includes 90 days of free telephone support from the date of purchase. You can contact Apple support as many times as needed within this period to receive assistance with using your new device.
While the one-year standard warranty is a great starting point, many customers choose to extend their warranty with AppleCare+. AppleCare+ is an extended warranty that covers two years from the date of purchase. In addition to the standard one-year warranty coverage, AppleCare+ also includes two incidents of accidental damage during that two-year period.
The cost of AppleCare+ varies depending on the product you are covering. For example, AppleCare+ for the MacBook Pro ranges from $269 to $379 depending on the size of the device you are covering. For iPhones, it ranges from $129 to $199 depending on the model. AppleCare+ for iPads ranges from $69 to $129.
Apple allows customers to purchase AppleCare+ within 60 days of the purchase of their device. This means that you have two months from the day you purchase your device to decide if you would like to extend your warranty coverage with AppleCare+.
Some customers decide to purchase AppleCare+ immediately when they purchase their new device. This ensures that they have the extended warranty coverage from day one. Other customers may choose to wait and purchase AppleCare+ later if they decide they need it.
It is important to note that once the 60-day period has passed, you will no longer be able to purchase AppleCare+ for your device. This means that if you want the extended coverage, you need to make the decision within two months of your initial purchase.
AppleCare+ covers all the same items as the standard warranty mentioned above. This includes hardware defects and malfunctions that arise during normal use. In addition, AppleCare+ provides coverage for up to two incidents of accidental damage.
Accidental damage includes drops, spills, and other events that may occur during normal use of your device. If your device has accidental damage coverage and you experience one of these incidents, you can bring your device to an Apple Store or authorized service provider to receive a repair or replacement. There is a service fee of $99 for each incident of accidental damage.
Here is a summary of what AppleCare+ covers:
