I used to get all riled up about it but I’ve come to embrace it. It gives deep anxiety to newly arrived whining foreigners, therefore they leave, and only the nice foreigners remain. Aside from that it makes you really think about what you buy, research the product, etc. 😁Interesting in this case indeed. 90 days that’s rough. 2 yr in europe
Yeah there are clauses in the AppleCare+ t & c that they won’t repair things in multiple pieces, clear signs of abuse, or if it’s “beyond economic value,” something to that effect.I think accidental damage stops at "is it in more than one piece" after that it is no longer covered under AppleCare Plus. But that may have changed recently.
except for the appleTVApplecare is a no brainer on anything Apple. It’s especially great now with monthly payments.
I think the point most people are making is that Extended warranties in general are priced such that the house always wins. If you were to buy an extended warranty for every device that you were offered one for, you would spend more than you would spend just covering the occasional issue you have along the way yourself. It looks like a good deal, but it never is.If I had just a nickel in my hand for every time someone here, Apple Support Forums and Reddit posted that they damaged their screen or the hinges broke but didn't have Applecare Plus I would be rich enough to buy out Apple. I find it offensive that some here are trying to call others careless just because they have had zero issues with their Macs and others have. Furthermore they are calling people stupid for buying Applecare Plus. Okay good for you, you've had no issues, that doesn't mean you never will and it doesn't mean that others should buy Applecare just because they are careless. SMH.
yeah… try that in a modern nation with a modicum of consumer rights. If it’s Apple’s fault that liability doesn’t end after 365 days..
You also won't need to pay a fee if there is a manufacturing issue, as problems that Apple's fault will be covered under the standard one-year warranty. If the warranty has expired, Apple will charge the $699 fee.
Thing is, there are plenty of accidental insurance policies that cover far more than just your Apple products and cost significantly less. Also, for the supposedly premium product and prices associated with Apple, why don’t they have the confidence to offer more than 12 months warranty on their products.If I had just a nickel in my hand for every time someone here, Apple Support Forums and Reddit posted that they damaged their screen or the hinges broke but didn't have Applecare Plus I would be rich enough to buy out Apple.

The cost of an insurance policy...which by the way doesn’t cost 20% of the purchase price.How much will it cost if you damage your BMW?
I’ve never had apple care on an iPhone. Never an issue. I have it on my 2020 iPad Pro because it covers the pencil and the delicate magic keyboard that I swear will start to fray on the edges.Applecare is a no brainer on anything Apple. It’s especially great now with monthly payments.
It’s definitely worth it on macs. They break a lot out of warranty. Usually there ends up being a repair program, but I always seem to have to get my repairs before Apple realizes they have a design flaw.
No. The Applecare agreement specifically states that the accidental damage part of the plan does not cover catastrophic damage. A drop is accidental damage as more than likely a corner of the screen gets damaged but if you sit on it, roll over it with your car or dunk it in the pool and allow it soak past the water resistant tolerances that would be considered catastrophic.
My Galaxy Tab S7+ is my preferred tablet (I have a 3rd gen Ipad Pro 12.9, too). Both are excellent but the Tab is easier to carry. Also, the screen is better (probably not better than mini-led). On both, apps are great. Also, android is more customizable. I'm a fan of Apple but not a fanboy...Because there’s any product in the world at all competitive with iPad Pro?
good luck with that.
$699 is 64% of $2400? That’s some FINE math there.ONLY 64% the cost of it new 🤦♂️ Bargain.
OR maybe… ok, this is a crazy idea, but MAYBE, just don’t support the company? Don’t buy their products?Seems like it’s time for a lawsuit regarding this too, and official general regulations.
There really need to be even more people who just refuse to give Apple money especially when they feel Apple are acting unethically.So Apple is saying they don’t want me to buy a new iPad Pro. mission accomplished. I love my iPads and iPad pros, but they have been anything but reliable. Apple is basically forcing AC on us. Very unethical, and I won’t play that game.
