With how costly iPhones, Macs, and other Apple devices are, is it worth paying yet another chunk of change on top just for peace of mind?<\/p>\n<p>Like most modern electronics, Apple\u2019s artillery of smartphones, computers, wearables, and other gadgets are filled to the brim with premium components (and often nestled inside fragile glass). So naturally, it\u2019s not surprising to hear that it can cost a lot to fix them.<\/p>\n<p>For example, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/iphone\/repair\/service\/screen-replacement\">screen replacement<\/a> on an iPhone 11 Pro Max without any sort of supplemental coverage costs $329. That\u2019s a steep price to pay and a solid chunk of your phone\u2019s original purchase price. But with AppleCare+, you\u2019ll only have to pay $29 in addition to the plan\u2019s upfront or monthly cost. That\u2019s a pretty good deal.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you\u2019re the most careful person, accidents can still happen. It only takes one clumsy cat or reckless neighbor to mess things up. Paying a little each month for coverage can be a little less painful than needing to pay a big sum at once to replace an entire device (or even just part of a device). So we\u2019re taking a look to see what exactly AppleCare+ is, which devices it covers, and whether or not it\u2019s worth the extra investment.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_Difference_between_AppleCare_and_AppleCare\"><\/span>What\u2019s the Difference between AppleCare and AppleCare+?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_58426\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-58426 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/449bee6c345c9f43c3f1cdf14bcb4f4b\/p\/uploads\/2020\/10\/x6f24c084.png.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.qIMx9TB7TF.jpg\" alt=\"A young Apple sales assistant talks to a customer next to iMacs in the Apple Store interior shop\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/shanghai-nov-30-young-apple-sales-66974062\" data-credittext=\"pcruciatti\/Shutterstock.com\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/shanghai-nov-30-young-apple-sales-66974062\">pcruciatti\/Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>AppleCare is the 1-year limited warranty that comes with your device. It covers basic issues and problems like manufacturing defects. It also includes 90 days of free phone support. AppleCare+ is Apple\u2019s extended warranty program and technical support plans for its devices. It extends AppleCare\u2019s provisions for a longer period of time, and tacks on a few extra niceties as well.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to buy coverage the same day you buy your device, but you\u2019ll need to purchase it within 60 days of your device\u2019s purchase (30 for those located in Japan). It\u2019s offered at checkout at Apple stores and on Apple\u2019s website, and many authorized retailers offer it as well. Your AppleCare+ coverage starts on the day you purchase it, and you can cancel it at any time.<\/p>\n<p>AppleCare+ plans are currently available for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Display, Apple Watch, HomePod, iPod, and Headphones, with a separate AppleCare Protection Plan for Apple TV. Apple\u2019s goal with AppleCare+ is to resolve your issue in a single call and not leave you high and dry without a device or solution for whatever unfortunate incident happened.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_AppleCare_Only_a_Good_Idea_If_You_Live_Near_an_Apple_Store\"><\/span>Is AppleCare+ Only a Good Idea If You Live Near an Apple Store?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While it probably seems like AppleCare+ will have you running in and out of your local Apple store, that\u2019s not the case. You<i> can<\/i> do that, but the service also allows you to process service requests via mail or by visiting approved third-party servicers.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re going with the mail-in option, Apple automatically will ship you a box and any shipping labels you need. You also have the option to get a Repair ID from Apple online and drop your device off at any UPS store to ship to Apple, which won\u2019t cost you a thing.<\/p>\n<p>For certain eligible devices and scenarios, Apple\u2019s handy Express Replacement Service kicks in and im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely sends you a replacement device. This is limited to iPads, iPhones, HomePods, Apple TV, and Apple Watch, however.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Products_Does_AppleCare_Cover\"><\/span>Which Products Does AppleCare+ Cover?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>AppleCare+ coverage varies by device type and model, with newer and more expensive devices having a higher plan rate. You can pay for AppleCare+ upfront, or spread out the cost over a few months to make it more affordable. Each device type covers a different set of accessories and peripherals, and has unique hardware coverage and software support, so make sure you read all the details carefully if you are wanting AppleCare+ for two different devices.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"iPhone\"><\/span>iPhone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_43845\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"imgchk9 wp-image-43845 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/1501f0b4e9ff6c1c108595db68a16897\/p\/uploads\/2020\/05\/x2b405f56.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.VSKIEgL7M9.jpg\" alt=\"Apple iPhone.\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/buy-iphone\/iphone-xr\/6.1-inch-display-128gb-yellow-unlocked\" data-credittext=\"Apple\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/buy-iphone\/iphone-xr\/6.1-inch-display-128gb-yellow-unlocked\">Apple<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/support\/products\/iphone\/\">AppleCare+ for iPhones<\/a> lets you opt for either the standard AppleCare+ plan or the AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss plan.

It\u2019s especially a good idea for the devices you use the most on a regular basis, like iPhones and Macs, and pretty much anything that costs over $1,000. Yes, you can spend every day being ultra careful with your Apple devices and yes, there\u2019s a decent chance you\u2019ll never need to take advantage of the service, but it only takes a single moment for the damage to be done.<\/p>\n<p>Given that you probably want to keep these devices for multiple years, it\u2019s worth thinking of your products (and coverage for them) as an investment, rather than a cost. It\u2019s no different than purchasing coverage for appliances or musical instruments. Paying a little bit extra each month to help mitigate serious issues, should they ever occur, potentially saving you money in the long run and give you some peace of mind in the meantime.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>setTimeout(function(){!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,document,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');fbq('init','1137093656460433');fbq('track','PageView');},3000);<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more like this article, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Technology category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/58423\/is-applecare-worth-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Is AppleCare+ Worth It? \u2013 Review Geek&#8221; Moab Republic\/Shutterstock.com If you own, or are thinking about owning, an Apple product, you\u2019ve probably wondered if the company\u2019s add-on product protection service, AppleCare+, is worth the price.
