is there any downside to waiting until the 59th or 60th day to buy AppleCare+ for new iPhone 13 Pro Max?

the reason is that I have a $175 Apple Gift card coming in a week or two... so I kind of want to wait to use that towards the $199 2-year AppleCare....

Yes, I know that if I drop and crack it now, it won't be covered.... but just wondering if there are other things....

There isn't a downside. Heck you can even get it on day 364 and still get AppleCare+ on your device. Only caveat is that after 60 days, you must take it to the apple store for a physical inspection oppose to hardware diagnostics.

interesting.... didn't know about the 364 day....

wait... 364? can't be a coincidence.... look at how I got my 13 Pro Max... 346 miles... perhaps I will wait until the 364th day and drive 346 miles again to the Apple Store and sign up for Apple Care?

drove 346 miles to pick up 13 Pro Max from nearest Apple Store that had it... on the way back, the phone used up 80% battery connected to CarPlay nav?

yesterday, I ended up driving 346 miles to the nearest Apple Store that had the 13 Pro Max 256gb in gold. I ended up taking advantage of my car dealer.... dropped off my car for the routine 10,000-mile service. As usual, they gave me a loaner... unfortunately, this time they only has a small...
