I did the same... very curious if this applies to us or not now...
which carrier, store, or insurance company is offering a better plan?Here I am.
This move is because they have competition from carriers, stores, and insurance companies.
And third party insurance (e.g. Asurion) through carriers is nearly worthless. It’s replaced with a barely functioning device, refurbed with cheap, crappy knock-off parts. Horrible testing as well. Not even close to the quality of Apple’s own refurbs.
Thanks. Saw this in the doc.: "If Apple adopts any revision to this Plan that would broaden your coverage without additional cost or any increase in service fees, the broadened coverage will immediately apply to this Plan." I'll calling Apple to verify. Will be great news to have better coverage.
I've got a call into Apple about it to confirm, but I did read this: "If Apple adopts any revision to this Plan that would broaden your coverage without additional cost or any increase in service fees, the broadened coverage will immediately apply to this Plan."
so am I reading this correctly? Section 11 states “If Apple adopts any revision to this Plan that would broaden your coverage without additional cost or any increase in service fees, the broadened coverage will immediately apply to this Plan”
so... this would technically broaden my coverage without additional cost? So this applies to my monthly plan?
Could someone please clarify?
According to the Apple Website under "Watch" https://www.apple.com/support/products/watch/
You only have 60 days to add applecare. When I hear up to 1 year.

Yeah I’m like 99% sure.
This isn’t like when Apple went from regular AppleCare to AppleCare+ or AppleCare+ to AppleCare+ with Theft & Loss.
It’s still AC+. The Genius Bar / AppleCare systems see it as such.
Seems like it, but of us sea lawyers here can’t tell you. Perhaps one of the actual attorneys who frequent the forums will chime in 🙂

Just talked to support and they confirmed any coverage added by Apple is retroactive for existing plans. 🤘

I'm going to bookmark this from the Apple Care documentation, just in case. 🤘

Japan too!
And Australia too!
But it still sucks for Australia because they still don’t have theft or loss insurance included 😕

Did they actually confirm it? Or just read that on the phone with you and agree that’s what it says? Because that provision is only in the new (as of today) T&C. The question is whether the new T&C applies to already existing plans.
I just bought a new Mac a few days ago and added AppleCare+ too. Can I refund it and rebuy it to get the new deal with more accidental incidents? It's within the return policy. Just don't know if I can buy and return. Would love to hear what you guys have to say.
If the cost of what you paid for AppleCare+ is the same price of this new plan, then you get the same coverage
I just spoke to Apple. All outstanding AppleCare+ plans are brought into this new T&C. The old one was grandfathered and all the active plans are now subject to these new T&Cs. So we all get the 2 incidents every 12 months!
