    Apple can’t repair my Apple Watch?...

    Hi, I’ve had an Apple Watch since day 0, and earlier this year the back popped off, so I sent it back, and received a replacement. Later on, the screen on the replacement started to die, so I sent it back again for another replacement. I got a new one the other day and the side button is very...

    (Old) AppleCare for 15in MBP still valid?

    I got a deal on a 15in 2015MBP and it is still with almost half year warranty left. The AppleCare+ is not applicable as you need to get it in first 2 months. I found a seller on ebay who offered the previous version AppleCare. Not until I purchased it for ca. $230 using a coupon off, he revealed...

    Serious Applecare Issue With A Macbook Pro

    I'd like to ask everyone if they have ever experienced the kind of problem I just had with Applecare. I brought in my 2017 Macbook Pro 13" to the Apple Store - Montgomery Mall in Bethesda, MD last week to fix the keyboard problem. They sent it out to replace the top case and returned it to me...

    I just broke my phone yesterday but I luckily have applecare. As the title says do I need to book an appointment to get a replacement phone or can I just walk in and show it to a member of staff right there.

    Battery replacement on rMBP13 before AppleCare expires

    My battery is at 300 cycles and it has just over 80% of it's original capacity if I check with several tools. I travel a lot and this does make a difference for me. I expect to keep the machine for at least another year. Can I get the battery replaced at a reduced cost ahead of the end of my...

    PSA: regular AppleCare is being "phased out"

    Going back many years, you have always been able to buy an AppleCare agreement extending two additional years of hardware coverage and phone support, as long as you buy it within one year of buying the Mac. As is my custom, I just went to buy an AppleCare warranty just now as my daughter's MBP...

    Does Apple Still Run Diagnostics before AppleCare Purchase?

    I purchased AppleCare+ on Apple's website for my MacBook and iMac just a few days short of the 60 day time limit. After purchasing I realized Apple hadn't run any remote diagnosis on either of my Macs. Is this normal? I thought this was a requirement before being allowed to purchase.

    Hey everyone. So long story short, my two month old MacBook Pro with Touch Bar suffered some liquid damage last week and I’ve been in hell trying to figure out what to do ever since. I am a week to late to get AppleCare+ (that would cover accidental damage). I sent it to Apple for a repair...
