iPhone 13 Pro AppleCare+ refund?

After deciding and think about it, I bought AppleCare+ for my MBP 14"
I recently bought MBP 14" and was undecided if AC+ was worth it, after researching many internet pages and YT videos one thing was clear, if your MacBook costs ~$1000 is not worth it, if your MacBook costs ~$2000 is totally worth it. Previously I had MBP 13" (Early 2015) and never needed any...- AstroRexaur

Extending AppleCare+ coverage
Hello all, the AppleCare+ coverage on my 2017 12” MacBook expires next year, but I’ve been reading that it is possible to extend it on a monthly basis beyond the 3 year term. Is this option available for the 12” MacBook? Has anyone had any experience with this extension? Extend AppleCare coverage -

iPad Pro iPad Pro (gen 2 - 2019) available replacement stock?
I broke my iPad Pro’s screen and the replacement is $800. I’m wondering if they’ll hand me a newer model (gen 3?) or if there is still stock of 3 year old iPad Pros at Apple Stores for replacements. Is there a site that tracks/speculates on replacement stock? My iPhone 3G blew up 5 years... -
iPad Pro Squeeze Clicking
This is NOT a “gate” and it hasn’t affected performance, however, I was wondering what the hive mind thought of this.

Four years later… turns out my new laptop was a stolen unit
Four years ago, I bought a 15-inch MacBook Pro, new in box, with AppleCare+ on eBay. It worked fine until the crap keyboard gave out, so I sent it in for warranty repair. When I got it back, setup wouldn’t let me get past a “remote management” screen by Rapid7. After an hour on the phone with...- lexlevi

Is AppleCare+ worth it just for AirPods battery wear?
From my previous experiences with AirPods and other, smaller consumer electronics with built-in, non-replaceable batteries, I know that the battery of AirPods will see a significant dip or even become almost unusable in the 2nd to 3rd year after purchase if I use them every day.

Resolved Replacing iPad Magic Keyboard with minor dent using AppleCare
