    AppleCare for MBP2017 ?

    Just bought a Space Gray MBP 2017. Do you guys recommend AppleCare (It is almost $400 :confused:). (I seem to have Amex protection which I don't have any experience with ...) What is your recommendation ?

    PSA: regular AppleCare is being "phased out"

    Going back many years, you have always been able to buy an AppleCare agreement extending two additional years of hardware coverage and phone support, as long as you buy it within one year of buying the Mac. As is my custom, I just went to buy an AppleCare warranty just now as my daughter's MBP...

    Does Apple Still Run Diagnostics before AppleCare Purchase?

    I purchased AppleCare+ on Apple's website for my MacBook and iMac just a few days short of the 60 day time limit. After purchasing I realized Apple hadn't run any remote diagnosis on either of my Macs. Is this normal? I thought this was a requirement before being allowed to purchase.

    "Cracked" MBP screen, $1000 repair? AppleCare?

    I bought an Early 2015 13-inch Retina screen MacBook Pro online 5 months ago. It was pre-owned but stated to be in perfect condition, hardly used and always been in a case. It's been working great until the other day when I gently touched the left side of my monitor and suddenly black and...

    Buy Apple Care but Find Out They Won’t Honor?

    I don’t know what to do. I bought an Apple MacBook Pro 13 Inch about. Year ago. I bought the 250 some dollar Apple care. One day I put my thumb in the gap and lifted to open the lid and I felt a pop. The screen popped and the top part turned back. Over the next day or so, the whole opals is...

    MACBOOK PRO WATER DAMAGE ADVICE

    Hey everyone. So long story short, my two month old MacBook Pro with Touch Bar suffered some liquid damage last week and I’ve been in hell trying to figure out what to do ever since. I am a week to late to get AppleCare+ (that would cover accidental damage). I sent it to Apple for a repair...

    Resolved Delete Thread

    Maybe a dumb question: I bought an iMac recently but had to return it... I also bought AppleCare via another retailer (boxed version, not auto activated)... And I did not activate this yet (it's still sealed) Now I'm wondering: can I keep it for my future iMac purchase (might be 9 months out...

    Privacy Breach by Apple Employee then mistreated by other employees

    So the Title summarises my experience so far with Apple and it all started with a faulty product that was getting replaced.

    AppleCare or AppleCare+ for iMac

    I bought a iMac 21.5' 2017 on Jan. 2nd 2018 in Japan. Regarding Applecare, according to what Apple Japan says I can buy AppleCare+ only until 30 days after purchase. https://www.apple.com/jp/support/products/mac.html Since I don't have money to buy it now, I want to buy normal AppleCare within...

    iPhone X PSA: January 2nd is the last day to add AppleCare+ for iPhone X release day-ers

    I'm still on the fence. My credit card extends the manufacturers warranty to 2 years, but that doesn't cover accidental drops which is what I fear the most. My iPhone X is nestled safely in its case with a tempered glass screen protector. But still... I bought the phone outright and plan to keep...

    Is Apple Becoming Like Comcast?

    I've used Macs for well over twenty years and have always found its customer support to be good, sometimes superb. Of late, however, I fear that things may be changing for the worse. Hear's my basis for stating this: 1. Hardware reliability. The Macs we purchased twenty to about ten years ago...

    Warranty on refurbished AW purchased from Best Buy?

    I noticed today that Best Buy sells refurbished Apple Watches. They advertise a 90-day warranty on the product page, and I'm wondering if that means there is no warranty at all directly from Apple. I'm also curious if AppleCare+ can be purchased for these devices (refurbished AW from BB).

    Bought new 2015 13" MBP but.....

    Don't know how... but Macsales listed a still-boxed 2015 13" rMBP and I grabbed it. Will return the 2017 13" MBP with Touchbar that was disappointing for the Touchbar, the questionable battery life that worried me (travel quite a bit), and the concerns about transferring old DV tapes via a...

    Applecare with iPhone Forever (Sprint)

    I just decided to go with the iPhone Forever plan at Sprint. They don't include Applecare or TEP with the base price/coverage. If I want to get Applecare do I have to purchase the 2 yr coverage plan, or is there a separate plan for the 12 month period I'll have this phone (iPhone X)?

    iPhone 8/Plus Anyone know the cost of repair for iPhone 8 (glass back) cost WITHOUT Applecare?

    I can't seem to find an answer for repair cost for the iPhone 8's back glass? I chipped it the other day. Trying to see if it's cheaper to get AppleCare ($129) and fix the back ($99), or just do a one time repair. All google shows is iPhone X, and AppleCare related screen repair costs.
