So I just talked to Apple Support. They couldn’t add my iPhone. So not sure why it suggests to contact them.
because that purchase was less than 4 years old ( per their eligibility rules )
I was successfully able to enroll my M1 MBP as well from 2022
did they say why? or say it might be a future option?
just curious ...
My partner and I use a third, shared Apple Account for our Apple Vision Pro. I signed out of it, signed into my personal Apple Account, added the device to my AppleCare One account, and then signed back into the shared Apple Account. It’s still listed on my AppleCare One subscription.
They really are doing it VERY messily by requiring you to initiate through your Apple Account.
did you buy a refurbished from somewhere? I called and support confirmed that if you buy a refurbished product it’s not eligible unless it’s direct from Apple.
One additional benefit is that it covers accessories. I think this is most helpful for the iPad Pro if you lose your pencil or something happens to your keyboard and you can get a new one for only $29.
Sufficiently confused here…
My eligible device list includes more devices at 8pm than it did at 11am.
Apple needs to check one of the 3 Mini 5’s in our house in case of damage - but the other two identical Mini 5’s aren’t even eligible.
I have a ceramic Series 5 Watch with AppleCare that doesn’t show up in the list at all, but a ceramic Series 3 with AppleCare does.
Two other Apple Watches on my list show up as eligible, but just error out if I pick them.
The Mrs is trying to sign up, and she keeps getting generic errors that it just doesn’t work upon paying.
The launch of this service rivals MobileMe…

I have a ton of Apple products with Apple care. This might be a massive pain in the ass to work through this with all my remaining Apple care plans.
Out of four devices I added, I’ve only received a refund for one of them (the one I got the refund for was a two year plan that was purchased with the device).
The other three were annual/monthly AC+ subscriptions.
For the two year plan, I got a gift card in my email. Anyone know how they refund the other subscriptions?

Apple Support on the phone told me because I am on the IUP that includes AppleCare + it "blocks" me from adding it to my (less than a year old) MBP or AVP or anything else. "you have to choose one other the other". So odd. Almost 2 hours of them trying their best to help but they could not.
Both reps also noted they first found about Apple Care one "yesterday morning". One was an AppleCare advisor specifically too.

this is not a great plan, I have better deals with the 2 year plans and monthly plans, than this one.
The iPhone on the upgrade plan wasn't eliglbe for the applecare one since it was already included in the plan. I was able to get my launch day M1 16" Macbook Pro added to the plan though. I lost my applecare+ due to a mishap a while back so it's nice to have it back. The last time I had to replace the screen out of warranty cost me a pretty penny.
It depends on what you're trying to insure. A 16" MBP is $15 monthly.
This is an objective statement about a subjective situation.
It’s a plan that saves me 12 dollars a month for my 3 most expensive devices and if my wife does her 3 most expensive devices will save 15 a month.
Apple has been doing the same to warn/ban people who abuses the return system for a while. I almost got myself permanently banned from Apple Store by just having my third return on MacBook Pro, two returns on iPhone and 3 returns on iPad Pro in just 2 years. Apple Store rep even warned me that I should keep existing device or they would take notes of my ID and report me for fraud.
I love it! Especially if all you’ve got are 3 Apple devices like a iPhone with theft and loss monthly, a MacBook Air or Pro that your paying monthly, or in my case, yearly for, then a third device like an iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods, etc.
In my case I’ll be spending a little more, but I’ve got 4 devices I just added. An iPhone that had theft and loss that I was paying monthly for, an M3 MacBook Pro I was paying yearly for, an iPad Pro I bought on eBay that never had AppleCare or AspleCare+ as an option when I received it, just the limited warranty, that I wanted coverage for and previously couldn’t get because I missed the window, plus the massively expensive VisionPro that can cost a pretty penny to have serviced after your AppleCare+ expires..
I’ll be refunded for the remainder of this year on the prepaid annual MacBook AppleCare+ I bought for the year and the 6 months left on the Vision Pro two year plan I bought up front. So it’ll be around $26.00 a month and I’ll be adding in coverage for a device that I really wanted to have covered (the M2 iPad Pro that I’ll have for several more years before I even think of replacing it) and can extend the Vision Pro coverage beyond February of 2026.
For me it’s great. I know full well any kind of insurance is basically a scam in that you’ll likely not use it or, if you do, you’ll wind up paying more for it over time such that the insurer gets their money back, but I’ve had to use accidental damage and theft and loss in the past, plus I’ve had to have things serviced, so for me to know I’m covered ASAP without having to buy a new device or spend nearly as much out of pocket as I otherwise would, it’s worth the price but obviously it’s not for everybody. It depends on how much you value peace of mind versus a monthly expenditure that might be for something you never have to use.

I have about 25 devices less than 5 years old, it shows zero devices eligible.
Why is this not named "Apple iCare Pro" for consistency?
