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.
Got a tip for us?

Does Apple Still Run Diagnostics before AppleCare Purchase?

From my experience they don't always do it. I had to run the diagnostics myself when I was purchasing AppleCare online for my iPad recently, but I went into a store yesterday to buy it for my watch and they didn't check the watch at all.
For macs you actually have a year to add AppleCare. For iOS devices it's 60 days
Applecare+ is 60 days for Mac or iOS devices.
Regular Applecare is one year for Macs.
Don't think Applecare+ for Macs is available in many countries.
