If I get the 3 year Apple Care on the new iMac, what happens when the 3 years are up?
If you want to keep your Mac longer, can you purchase again, and if so, can you purchase just one more year or do you have to get a whole new 3 year term?

Or do they even let you re-new at all?
THANKS!

You pray.

Applecare is a one-time deal, after it's up, the warranty is done. There's no renewal. And don't forget, you're only getting two more years of warranty from Applecare - there's a one-year warranty that comes with your purchase, Applecare just tacks on two years.

That's your lot.

But they have made some exceptions for big businesses such as in broadcast with extended maintenance contracts but for the regular apple user you're on your own. That's where independents like me step in and find a nice niche! :D
