iPhone X PSA: January 2nd is the last day to add AppleCare+ for iPhone X release day-ers
I'm still on the fence. My credit card extends the manufacturers warranty to 2 years, but that doesn't cover accidental drops which is what I fear the most. My iPhone X is nestled safely in its case with a tempered glass screen protector. But still... I bought the phone outright and plan to keep... -
Is Apple Becoming Like Comcast?
I've used Macs for well over twenty years and have always found its customer support to be good, sometimes superb. Of late, however, I fear that things may be changing for the worse. Hear's my basis for stating this: 1. Hardware reliability. The Macs we purchased twenty to about ten years ago...- otiose2day

Warranty on refurbished AW purchased from Best Buy?
I noticed today that Best Buy sells refurbished Apple Watches. They advertise a 90-day warranty on the product page, and I'm wondering if that means there is no warranty at all directly from Apple. I'm also curious if AppleCare+ can be purchased for these devices (refurbished AW from BB).- smurray

Don't know how... but Macsales listed a still-boxed 2015 13" rMBP and I grabbed it. Will return the 2017 13" MBP with Touchbar that was disappointing for the Touchbar, the questionable battery life that worried me (travel quite a bit), and the concerns about transferring old DV tapes via a...- bohdanz

Applecare with iPhone Forever (Sprint)
I just decided to go with the iPhone Forever plan at Sprint. They don't include Applecare or TEP with the base price/coverage. If I want to get Applecare do I have to purchase the 2 yr coverage plan, or is there a separate plan for the 12 month period I'll have this phone (iPhone X)?- AaronChicago
