Extending AppleCare+ coverage

[Charadis]

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?

I don't think that's feasible since that model is soon to be considered vintage

It should be available for your Macbook since the extended coverage policy covers all Macs that currently have Applecare. I think you need to contact Apple to request for an extended coverage.

Shouldn't the 2017 MacBook only be vintage in mid-2024? It's 5 years after they stopped selling it, isn't it?

I was able to extend mine. My coverage on my 2017 12" MacBook expired this past April, on the day it expired I was given the option to extend coverage for $70 per year. Since my battery is starting to drop a bit, I figure I'll need a new one within a year anyway so definitely worth it in my case.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! Mine finally expired on March this year, and I decided to try the extension last night

Looks I have the same option as yours, it should just automatically extend then. I guess we are one of the last (if not the last remaining) holdouts, hope they’ll still have enough parts between us in the next 5 - 10 years from now! 🤞

Same here; I always extend the coverage for unexpected circumstances.
