iPhone 12 Pro Max Payoff upgrade plan & cancel AppleCare mechanics
I want to make sure I understand the mechanics and correct order of what I want to do. I bought a phone using the Apple Upgrade plan last fall. Of course, I had to buy the AppleCare plan. My understanding is that Citizens One pays Apple the full price of the plan at that time so it is... -

iPhone 12 mini Purchase AppleCare+ after 60 days?
Here is my dilemma… I currently have an iPhone 12 Mini with T-Mobile and I have their insurance plan which includes AppleCare+ with it. I kind of want to cancel their insurance and just buy the AppleCare+ directly from Apple. I’m over the 60 days. I read on Macrumors sometime ago that you can... -

iPhone 12 Pro iPhone 12 pro scratch on the back (from factory?)
I don’t know how I got this scratch. It’s very tiny and faint but I always used a clean silicone case. What do you guys think. I’m thinking that it already was there out of the box and it came from the factory itself. The scratch is above the flashlight (not on the camera area).- iPhonePodsrbest

AppleCare for iMac Worth It?
I passed on AppleCare when buying my 2020 iMac. I can understand getting AppleCare for a MacBook as it gets bumped around a lot and prone to damage, but my iMac will, more or less, sit untouched. I got AppleCare for my last iMac (15,1) and I never had a reason to use it, so it turned out to be... -

Existing AppleCare on 2018 iMac with Upcoming Magic Keyboard TrackPad Folio?
Does anyone know Apple’s AppleCare coverage policy if you add a keyboard folio after the fact. In other words would Apple Care coverage extend to the new keyboard folio added to an existing iPad AppleCare policy? Just wondering? Or maybe you can get AppleCare for the new keyboard separately?- jazz1
