So I bought my phone on 20 Oct 2024. The limited warranty ends 19 Oct 2025. Then I buy my ac+ on 15 Oct 2025 and warranty extended to 14 Oct 2027?
Yes….provided ur phone is in mint condition. They will run some tests on your phone to ensure that it is good condition before you are allowed to buy AppleCare+ past the 60 days buying period

Why the added advantage of 2 additional yrs when buying towards of 1 yr limited warranty? Then why one have additional 2yrs when buy at the very beginning tog with the new phone?

For the battery health. If below 80%, u will get free battery replacement. If u buy it nearing near the end of 1 year. It will probably be around 90%, higher chance of battery replacement compared to if u bought it during the first 60 days

Thanks for your effort in explaining. I really don’t understand the logic behind. But it’s ok. Really appreciate.

limited warranty doesn’t include accidental coverage

This know. I am just wondering why can’t have additional 2yrs too if buy together with iPhone. Logically if I buy early together with the new phone, I should get more yrs 😂

AppleCare+ is covering your iPhone for 2 years under its condition. Key is cover 2 years from the date u bought it. It is different from the normal 1 year warranty.

So if u buy AppleCare + during your purchase of iPhone, the tnc will be switch to those under AppleCare+ and it starts the 2 year immediately. It will overwrite the normal 1 year warranty.

Ok it all makes sense now. AC+ covers for 2yrs from the date I bought. So the limited warranty aside, if I buy it tog with my phone, I have 2 yrs of AC+ warranty. If I buy it at the last day before my one yr limited warranty ends, my 2y of AC+ starts then. So it’s one yr limited warranty plus 2 yrs AC+ warranty. It seems like 3 years but I must make sure nothing happens to my phone during the one yr limited warranty.

Don’t think this is true. It doesn’t add another two years. It counts from the first day you use the phone. So in essence you only have two years. Not three

It starts from the day u purchase AppleCare+, not the day u bought your phone.

I have bought AppleCare+ many times and it always start on the date ac+ was purchased though it was always within the first 60 days.

And a few users also confirm it can be bought within 1 yr if u pass the check and it adds another 2 years of ac+ warranty for your devices.

Apple care+ starts on the day you purchase the apple care+ and will give you 2 yrs of protection. If you buy a phone in sep 2024 and you buy apple care+, apple care+ will end in sep 2026. If you buy a phone in sep 2024 but buy apple care+ in feb 2025, your apple care+ ends in feb 2027.

Just take it as AC+ is “insurance”

In the past regardless of when u purchase the AC+, it will end 2 years from when you purchase the phone.

them it became additional 2 years from when u purchase AC+

anyone bought applecare for their 16series?
Thinking. Cos Apple care+ with EPP just cost slightly over S$10 a month. I just sold my iphone 15 pro max with Apple care+. Going to call Apple for the refund since the buyer do not want the Apple care+.
