As some people kindly answered me, it seems we have to wait for it expires. Then you have one month to renew it.
MACRUMORS. Why not update the headline stating that it is NOT available in these additional countries rather than just inserting the word UPDATED to the end of the headline. Much more useful and immediately visible to interested readers.
The reason I love Apple products is that they have far fewer problems than most I’ve ever used long term. They have been the most reliable tech products I’ve ever owned from both a hardware and software perspective. Are the perfect. No. But I’m glad Apple tried hard to stand by and alleviate most issues when they arise via Apple care.
I agree. In my case, all of the times I have used AppleCare+ is due to my mistake. A fallen laptop, a crashed Apple Watch, etc etc. Should be so expensive to repair without the AppleCare+.
Great timing! A few days ago I grabbed the wife's iPhone XS to update to the latest update and noticed that it said that AppleCare was eligible and the original AppleCare expired last week. Pleasantly surprised and thankful that I actually looked at her phone when I did. Now we can keep it for a few more years!
For me it’s always been peace of mind… Until this year…
11PM fully replaced, and a set of AirPods Pro.
We had Applecare once and we've owned tons of Apple stuff for many many years. Coincidentally, we only had to use Applecare on one machine, the iBook G3 that had 5 logic board failures over 3 years.
Better off passing on Applecare and any other warranty. (Of course, it helps to get a credit card that offer additional warranty protection.)
Overall, It’s probably been a net win for me, but I’ve been circumspect about what gets covered. Most recent example is my Apple Watch. It’s on my wrist all the time so I got the coverage. Cracked the screen while working on my car;
But my work iPad, or things that are mostly tied to my desk gets skipped. Those are also the devices that are off limits to my kids
My Mini 5 AC+ expired in April and I was able to renew it monthly. Not sure when it became an option for monthly in the UK but I wasn’t offered it when I bought it, it was 2 years or nothing.
For Mini (I believe the base iPad and Air are the same) it is £3.49 per month. That is more expensive than the 2 year upfront option (£69 / 24 = 2.875, so less than £2.88 a month. So when buying a new device it’s better to get it upfront if you can, but if you can’t it’s less than a £15 premium over the two years.
I’ve had 2 iPods, 2 iPhones and 2 iPads, with coverage on the most recent iPhone and iPad. I wouldn’t get it on a phone again, as I had to insure it elsewhere against theft anyway so should have made do with that even though it would have been inconvenient time wise and no guarantee of a colour match wise (I broke one phone in 2005 and that’s all.)
iPad Mini has had a few close shaves so I’ll be going with it on the 6. Much more reasonably priced than the phone one if I recall correctly.
