Apple's eligibility tool does appear to reflect the change in the United States, but not in the United Kingdom, Canada, Italy, Hong Kong, or elsewhere, so it is possible the longer purchase window will be applicable stateside only.
No that isn't how it works. The AC+ expiration date is based on the initial activation date of the phone. It doesn't matter when you purchase the AC+.It would have been nice to have the extra months added to my AC+ now. I know that that won't happen, though. That would have put me into 2019 for coverage, instead of the end of 2018.
Right - but what if, for example, the screen is cracked or came unglued but the phone functions fine? Won't a 'remote diagnostic' succeed?
apple hasn't updated to see the terms but interested to know what if someone gets a replacement within a year? I've had one on my 4, 5 and 6. wife has on her 5s and 6. could we still be able to purchase apple care for the replacement device?
You may find otherwise.Not eligible for Genius Bar swapped phones.
And within 364 days of original purchase date.
So happy we have an European law covering warranty for at least three years.
AC+ covers accidental damage and includes 2 years of technical support.They're well aware of our law but still try to sell the expensive Apple care.
Would that affect touch id if it was a 3rd party repair at a non-Apple certified repair shop?I can't imagine they would be that concerned seeing how you'd be shelling out $129 + $29 deductible for that screen repair. Most people would go to a 3rd party place and save money.
About time Apple extended this. You can do it with Macs, never understood why the iPhone could not benefit the same the same treatment.
The way it initially worked is that you had 30 days to add AC+ and 1 year to add AC. AC+ was $99 and both extended the warranty by 1 year and included 2 accidental damage claims. AC was $79 and it merely extended the warranty by 1 year.Since the iPhone never had included accidental damage, you had to choose it up front.
In the long run, it's always cheaper to pay WHEN something breaks, not IF something breaks. There's a reason these warranties exist, and it's not to help you.
Why would they pay $1,000 to get out of their plan because they have a broken phone when they could just pay maybe a couple hundred and get their phone fixed?Working in a phone store (in Australia) we sell "insurance", the amount of people who don't take it then have to pay $1000+ to payout their plan is laughable. When insurance is $10-$15 per month.
Not until you actually select to buy the AppleCare+ and select your country. Then you will be ineligible.I'm from Singapore.
Am eligible for this too!
Because then this guy/gal and their store get to sell more phones!Why would they pay $1,000 to get out of their plan because they have a broken phone when they could just pay maybe a couple hundred and get their phone fixed?
