    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?

    M1 Logic Boards backordered? Warranty repair times are basically indefinite.

    My M1 Mac Mini started randomly suffering from kernel errors that would reboot the machine 15 seconds after power on. Apple Store wasn’t even able to run any of their usual diagnostics. So they said right away it would be a logic board replacement, covered under warranty, no big deal. When I...
