Does anyone know, if Sprint offers the option to purchase Apple Care with your iPhone purchase? I tested the site out a few times, once doing a 4s which it did appear during my purchase which I cancelled, since I was only testing the site. I attempted to try the iPhone 5 before it was removed, and it never gave me the option.


Today, I tried the iPhone 5c, and it still did not give me an option to add apple care to the purchase. So now I am wondering when I order the iPhone 5s for real this time, shouldn't it give me the option to add the Apple care?

I am picking this route, because sprint is offering $144 to recycle my 4s online. Apple does not, only in store I believe.

Has anyone has this issue before?
 
My Carrier (Verizon) will not offer AppleCare + either.

Ways to get it....

1. Purchase 5S from Apple Online or in the Store and ask for it.

2. Get the 5S from a carrier and make an appointment with Apple and go in with the phone so they can look at it first

3. Get the 5S from a carrier and you if you live 50 miles or more, call applecare + line direct and they will, as they did last year, sell you the warranty

4. Get really lucky and maybe AppleCare + direct line rep will sell you the coverage even if you do not live 50 miles or more, and you bought it from a Carrier.

PS: 30 day return policy from Apple with the iPhone 5S or 5C. 14 day return policy from a carrier...Your choice


800-275-2273 (AppleCare +) Direct line

When I bought my Iphone 5 from Sprint last year I was able to purchase Applecare at the same time I purchased the phone online.
