    Warranty Denial

    I live in Thailand 5 hours outside Bangkok. I purchased a new MacBook Air here, and an AppleCare+ extended warranty that is still in effect. The computer was damaged in an accident at a construction site, seriously enough to bend/crush the computer. I bought it to the Apple store for...

    MP 7,1 AppleCare+

    So, after 3 years of Apple Care, I get an offer to purchase AppleCare+. I successfully purchased AppleCare+ for the Mac Pro (2019) and XDR Display. This was not easy. I ran into an initial error message followed by Apple Reps saying the XDR Display did not qualify. In addition, I ran into...

    AppleCare+ iPhone 14 Pro Max STILL got flagged at an Apple Store Genius Bar Appointment

    Had a really bad experience at the Apple Store this morning. I always break my iPhones, I'm just really clumsy and rather pay AppleCare+ and repair/replacement fees than Otter Boxes. My iPhone 14 Pro Max's back screen is cracked all over. No biggie, I'll go to the Apple Store and have it...

If your recipients like mine want to add AppleCare+ to an Apple holiday gift you purchased, have them verify the purchase date. The date you purchased the gifts of...

    Get AppleCare+ or not on M2 Macbook Air opinions.

    Two questions: 1) Buy AppleCare+ or not for my situation. 2) If yes, buy now with order, or wait towards end of 60 day eligibility window 1) I know the short answer is "personal choice". Being a 'never buy extended warranties' person, I easily skipped the AC+ checkbox on my order. Three...

    iPhone 12 Apple Care+ after 2 years

    I'm buying a new Apple Watch and I'll consider buying the Apple Care+. If I buy the 2 years signature, I'll able to continue paying for it after the final date? I mean I need to go to Apple Store and contract the plan, or I can just continue paying for it? How is this process?

    iPad mini Any issue with buying AppleCare+ for iPad Mini 6 after ordering?

    I decided to get AppleCare+ for the iPad Mini 6 256GB but I placed the order already and I can’t cancel since the shipping time has been extended for new orders. Is there any issue ordering it once I receive the iPad? It seems like you can but I wanted to make sure. Thanks!
