I dropped my iPad Pro

I can't recall, the reason for the inspection then. Maybe they were doing it as a part of making an exception to the 60 day rule. I honestly can't recall the circumstances now.
Many times the Geeks have advised people to buy AC+ and they will fix it, even after the damage has occurred.
I would, and I don't really care what the "do-gooders" will say about that.
I'd do the same, Apple is still getting their money one way or another. The internals are fine and will be used in refurbed unit without the cosmetic damage.
I just called apple to add applecare+ to my 12.9 pro but could not add online. I need to take it into the store.
Okay, see that is what they told me too, then another poster above said “no” you don’t have to. Seems a bit of a mixed message from Apple
What does it tell you if you try to buy it here?

It does seem like a mixed message from Apple based on what their website says, see notes at bottom of this page.

Important notes
Purchase AppleCare+ with your new iPad. Or buy it within 60 days of your iPad purchase:
- Online (requires you to verify your serial number and run a remote diagnostic)
- At an Apple Store (inspection of iPad and proof of purchase are required)
- By calling (800) 275-2273 (requires you to run a remote diagnostic and provide proof of purchase)

There is no lack of people who do not care.

That is the whole point in the Geeks asking one to get AC+.
I was able to purchase AppleCare+ two days after my purchase from AT&T. All Apple did was remote into my iPad and made sure hardware was working. took maybe five minutes. I have done this with all my iDevices
Not in sunny Florida you can't. You have to take it in. Have done that three times now. Once I was able to get away with it doing on the phone. We have some silly laws around here
You can only invoke an Apple care plus repair or replacement if functionality is affected. Some dents or scratches don’t warrant a replacement and they won’t replace it for that. So you’re partially right.
then you just drop it harder then to break it real good
Lol Apple Care+ Also doesn’t cover intentional damage....
whoops, accidentally dropped it in toilet after wiping. done
If you wanna spend 50 dollars and waste one of your 2 accidental damage incidents on some dings be my guest haha. On my 9.7 Pro I’ve got a tiny little ding on the bottom corner and a surface scratch in the screen and I’ve considered finishing it off and getting a fresh device but then I realized how petty that would be lol. I think mine is faring much better than other people’s who have had it for 6 months.
Why not? I accidentally laundered my iPhone. I was in a hurry and tossed in a heavy winter jacket, before throwing it into the machine. Went out, shoveled some snow, came back in searching for my phone. Find my iPhone actually pinged it in the machine. It only lived about an hour after that though, before dying a slow death.
Wow...thanks for the check coverage link. I was totally able to purchase Applecare+ on line.
Apple REP was wrong.
