iPad Pro Applecare

[morkfromork]

Can someone please help me with my query as I cannot seem to get a straight answer from Apple support,

I have an iPad Pro that is one year old on the 13th march. I did not take AppleCare out when I bought it but now want to extend the warranty by buying AppleCare.

I can see that they sell AppleCare plus that has to be bought within 60 days and covers accidental damage, but I cannot find any standard AppleCare to buy.

Can I buy AppleCare plus and extend my warranty or am I screwed because I did not buy it within 60 days? In the past I have always bought AppleCare and added it to my iPhone or iPad just before the warranty finished.

The two people I spoke to at apple gave me different information so I am confused.

All I want to do is extend my warranty not bothered about being covered for damage.

You can buy AppleCare+ within 60 days of the purchase of your device (30 days in Japan).
​

Because it wasn't purchased in the 60 day range, you can no longer purchase it for this iPad.

I think you misunderstood. In his post, the OP acknowledges AppleCare+ must be purchased within 60 days of device purchase.

What he's looking for is the non-plus version of AppleCare. THAT doesn't exist anymore.

Clearly I missed that in his communication. What about 4Square? (sp?) Not sure how they would handle this but it is worth looking at.

as you said sracer I was looking for a non plus version of applecare. Did'nt realise it was no longer available. Everywhere I searched it always lead back to AppleCare plus with. No definitive answer.

When I spoke to Apple support one person just sent me a link to AppleCare plus and said buy that. The other said I couldn't extend so was a bit confused.

at least I know for any future purchase of apple products that I need to buy it early if I want it.

Each device has its own time frame within which Applecare must be bought. For computers, this window lies within the first year of ownership, - you can buy Applecare any day within the first year of ownership, but not a day after that - whereas, for other devices - such as iPads - obviously, the period when you will be able to buy Applecare is a lot less.

Did you use a CC to purchase? Perhaps you are already covered?
