Applecare questions

[elvintay07]

Guys, if I were to buy an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil separately, can I buy applecare subsequently for both? I am told this only works if I buy all from apple store

Must buy together at the same receipt on apple store to qualify, I have tried asking already.

Huh who said so? I bought my M1 iPad Pro from iStudio last year and bought AppleCare+ for it leh.

My impression is that Apple Care for iPad Pro covers all Apple iPad accessories? In other words, if you bought Apple Care for iPad 2 months ago before you got the Apple Pencil, it should cover it for as long as the iPad is under Apple Care. Is that not the case? I recall seeing the details of Apple Care where it covers the Apple Pencil and keyboard folio/ magic keyboard as well.

Anyway, 1 thing I noticed is that Apple Care starts its 2 years coverage from the time of purchase. So if you don’t buy it immediately, and drag till you are approaching the date where you device will no longer qualify for Apple Care, you can extend the warranty further. In my case, I noticed that the Apple Care I activated on the last day of the qualifying day extended the coverage by 2 years. If this is indeed the case, then it makes no sense to buy Apple Care at the onset.

You take the risk of something happening from the day of purchasing your iPad to the day you buy the applecare if there’s accidental damage
