The Saga Continues
Yes Applecare plus is available if the phone was originally sold within 30 days of your visit to an Apple Store. Mine was sold Sept 21 so a November 30th visit to the Apple Store was a non event and a waste of 3 hours in travel. When I placed my order an AT&T customer service rep talked with AppleCare and told me that it would be covered by just taking it to my local Apple Store and have it inspected and they would register it for me. It took me contacting AT&T Mobility CEO Ralph de la Vega and his offices intervention to finally get regular Apple Care. Others have mentioned Apple Refurbs and Apple Care well these phones are not refurbished by Apple but some third party therefore the hitch. If Apple does the refurb an Apple products previous ownership or sales information is wiped off the record books. Then if a third party does a refurb they cannot scrub purchase records and the 30 day registration rule comes into play and a AT&T purchased refurb iPhone becomes a buyer beware.
curious to know if one could purchase applecare+ on one of these.
