Applecare+ for iPhone

[Charlie_Zhan]

Buying AC+ from Apple direct is strictly 60 days or does 365 days window still work?

within 60 days can straight purchase via phone settings. after 60 days need bring to apple store for checks and diagnostic tests in order to purchase AC+.

within 365 days if they say ok then can use EPP to buy and the coverage will start from date of purchase?

 

[ragnarok95]

Start the day you purchase the AC+, not phone.

Date of purchase of your AC+

 

[alvin1989]

hello, can check if the limited warranty expired after 365 days still can walk in to apple store and purchase AC+?

 

[froztheart]

hello, can check if the limited warranty expired after 365 days still can walk in to apple store and purchase AC+?

Either 60 days from activation on your Apple device or 365 from your date of purchase invoice with documentation at Apple Store with verification.

I think it's more important to ask if one can insure for everything.

because there will be a lot of things out there to be insured.

actually maybe you need to think about what actually are you trying to insure. are you trying to insure for the cost of the phone or are you trying to insure for the lost of your phone. because while they might sound similar, they are very different.

the later is never possible to be insured because it is intangible. but the former is about the cost. so you need to decide if it is more worth paying an insurance for something while is expensive is still relatively a small sum of money, vs for other types of insurance where you pay for something where the payout is meant for bigger amount.
