better lay, then no need to keep purchasing different AppleCare+ for every device.

just lump everything in one package

Consolidating all the AppleCare to one is much more efficient to manage.
Otherwise, need check and verify for different devices, damn lehceh.

Ya, I really hope Apple brings this outside of the US. I think Singapore should minimally get it.

There’s a couple of limitations that limits its cost effectiveness.

Tie in to a single Apple ID, so it would make sense only if you have the more expensive devices.

I’ve not tried it but based on the t&c, once you change the Apple ID, you have 24 hours to reinstate it before it’s no longer eligible for AppleCare+. Can add into another Apple ID’s AppleCare One though.

you need to get a new device in order to set up the first AppleCare one account, after which you can add any device age less than 4 years for an unspecified period of time.

personally, if you hand me down iPhones every one or two years, it makes sense to get the Singapore 2 years copy, then when it expires you can get additional AppleCare for it.

Actually if u happen to have a credit card tagged to a US address, you can get the AppleCare one or the AppleCare+, both of which is tied to a single AppleCare ID, which to me is not good as I can’t find a clause that says I can transfer the AppleCare to someone else, though it does allow for unlimited renewals either case.

So it may not a good thing to everyone to have the AppleCare one….. I personally prefer the current AppleCare+ sg for my iPhones so when I hand it down to my kids they can continue to extend the AppleCare.

The bad thing (I think) about the AppleCare+ sg was that I believe we can only extend it for a year…… didn’t see anything in subsequent renewal, so not as robust a solution as the us version.

idea ah if one have US credit card/card with US address, means one is able to get the better AppleCare options available for US only.
But whether it covers globally need to check T&C liao.

It does. Only issue is you can only get the one with thefts which costs a bit more. After the update, I think the coverage for theft is now worldwide. Coverage for AppleCare plus is no different from buying from Singapore.
