    Warranty Denial

    I live in Thailand 5 hours outside Bangkok. I purchased a new MacBook Air here, and an AppleCare+ extended warranty that is still in effect. The computer was damaged in an accident at a construction site, seriously enough to bend/crush the computer. I bought it to the Apple store for...

    Hi there everyone, I have a 2020 Macbook Air that I've had since June 2022. I bought the 3 year AppleCare+ warranty on it and everything has been great. I have had the screen replaced once already after I went to use it one day and it was broken (still not sure to this day what happened). Last...

    MP 7,1 AppleCare+

    So, after 3 years of Apple Care, I get an offer to purchase AppleCare+. I successfully purchased AppleCare+ for the Mac Pro (2019) and XDR Display. This was not easy. I ran into an initial error message followed by Apple Reps saying the XDR Display did not qualify. In addition, I ran into...

    Question regarding extended warranty through credit card and how it relates to Apple’s one year limited warranty and ApppleCare+…

    Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this… My Citi card has extended warranty protection that adds two years of coverage after the manufacturer’s warranty expires. The policy language states “We will extend the manufacturer's warranty for an additional 24 Months. If You purchase an...

    AppleCare+ iPhone 14 Pro Max STILL got flagged at an Apple Store Genius Bar Appointment

    Had a really bad experience at the Apple Store this morning. I always break my iPhones, I'm just really clumsy and rather pay AppleCare+ and repair/replacement fees than Otter Boxes. My iPhone 14 Pro Max's back screen is cracked all over. No biggie, I'll go to the Apple Store and have it...

    PSA Check Holiday Gift Purchase Date

    Like many I purchased Apple products for holiday gifts on sale in December. My mistake was to do so from the Apple store on Amazon. If your recipients like mine want to add AppleCare+ to an Apple holiday gift you purchased, have them verify the purchase date. The date you purchased the gifts of...

    So I purchased an iPhone 13 Pro last year and purchased the 2 year AppleCare + plan. When I upgrade to the 14 Pro, do I get a refund on the unused portion of the AppleCare+ plan? If so, how do I request it?

    Get AppleCare+ or not on M2 Macbook Air opinions.

    Two questions: 1) Buy AppleCare+ or not for my situation. 2) If yes, buy now with order, or wait towards end of 60 day eligibility window 1) I know the short answer is "personal choice". Being a 'never buy extended warranties' person, I easily skipped the AC+ checkbox on my order. Three...

    iPhone 12 Apple Care+ after 2 years

    I'm buying a new Apple Watch and I'll consider buying the Apple Care+. If I buy the 2 years signature, I'll able to continue paying for it after the final date? I mean I need to go to Apple Store and contract the plan, or I can just continue paying for it? How is this process?

    Is it worth getting apple care+ for Airpods Max and what does it actually cover? i.e If the mesh on the headband tears will they repair/replace it? There's not much specifics on what is covered under headphones unless Im not looking properly. Does anyone know? Thanks

    iPad mini Any issue with buying AppleCare+ for iPad Mini 6 after ordering?

    I decided to get AppleCare+ for the iPad Mini 6 256GB but I placed the order already and I can’t cancel since the shipping time has been extended for new orders. Is there any issue ordering it once I receive the iPad? It seems like you can but I wanted to make sure. Thanks!
