Okay, here is a question:
I usually wait to buy Apple Care until the year is almost up. I accept that I won't have phone support after 90 days, and waiting works for me because, a) if for some reason I decide to sell before the year is up it's money I did not have to spend and thus try to get back; and b) it helps to spread out the "price" of the computer if I am keeping it for years.
But... are you saying that if you buy Apple Care right away (within 90 days) that you have phone support for the full year PLUS the next two years? And that if you wait for 11 months not only do you give up the 9 months of phone support from the remainder of the first year, but you then NEVER get the 24 months of phone support again?
I guess I thought the phone support was either:
1) For a full year if you bought Apple Care within 90 days (but never for the remaining two years).
2) For the first 90 days if you either did not buy Apple Care or bought it after the 90 day period.
But I'll admit that I have not studied it closely, since usually I can find answers to anything that I could get by phone on the Internet, and if it requires a trip to Apple then I'm covered at any rate (for one year or three years, depending).
