But Apple will only let you buy it upon purchase or - if the company can check whether your device is eligible - through its website, on the device itself, in-store, or over the phone (with a remote diagnostic check required for the online and over-the-phone methods).

(Although Apple last month did extend the period of time after purchase you can enroll a new device from 60 days to one year under certain circumstances, the AppleCare+ website still says 60 days.)ДЇor instance, a new iPhone 11 Pro can get AppleCare Plus coverage for a one-time fee of $200 or $10 a month for 24 months. Rather, itвЂ™s expanding its existing one to be more beneficial.ДЄppleCare Plus is only available with the purchase of a new Apple device or within 60 days of purchasing one, and it has a variable cost associated with the type of device. And that makes sense, as Apple isnвЂ™t adding a new coverage plan as it did with the jump from AppleCare to AppleCare Plus.

These changes would appear to be retroactively applied to current AppleCare Plus owners, according to some MacRumors commenters who contacted AppleвЂ™s customer support yesterday. The older plan used to charge more - up to $269 - for replacing a lost or stolen device if that phone happened to be a newer Pro or Max model. For iPhone owners, far and away the most likely to purchase AppleCare Plus, the warranty coverage for the Theft and Loss add-on now has a consistent flat fee deductible at $149 for all models of the smartphone. Here are screenshots of the iPhone-specific AppleCare Plus description now:ДЄpple has tossed in a few other benefits to the plan, too. In some cases, AppleCare Plus coverage for products like Macs and the Pro Display XDR was listed as simply вЂњtwo incidents of accidental damage coverage,вЂќ with no time window other than the general three-year extension the warranty provides those pricier products, whereas now the website clarifies it is every 12 months for the duration of the coverage. You can see the changes applied at the new AppleCare Plus website here, and the older version of the website as it existed a few days ago here. It appears this is the case not just for the iPhone but for all other AppleCare Plus-eligible products, which include AirPods, Apple TV, Apple Watch, Beats headphones, HomePod, iPad, iPod Touch, Mac, and Pro Display XDR. The prior window for those two incidents of coverage was 24 months (or 36 months for certain products like Macs). ThatвЂ™s a total of four fixes over the standard two years of coverage. The changes, spotted first yesterday by MacRumors in the wake of AppleвЂ™s вЂњTime FliesвЂќ hardware reveal, mean AppleCare Plus owners are now covered for two cases of accidental damage coverage every 12 months. If youвЂ™re purchasing AppleCare+ for a device you already own, youвЂ™ll need to get it screened either at an Apple store or through a diagnostics test if you order over the phone.AppleвЂ™s warranty program, AppleCare Plus, just saw a significant expansion in its coverage with an added annual repair for accidental damage. Giving them more time could help further boost the companyвЂ™s services business. Apple has said that the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected AppleCare+ demand as consumers rethink their spending during an economic downturn. (ThereвЂ™s always a deductible for physical damage regardless of product.) AppleCare+ is also available for Apple Watch, AirPods and Beats headphones, HomePod, the Pro Display XDR, and iPod touch. When purchased up front, AppleCare+ provides one additional year of warranty coverage for iPhones and iPads and two added years for Mac, plus covers accidental damage. Some Apple stores had already been trialing the extended timeframe for buying AppleCare+, as MacRumors reported last year. So if you didnвЂ™t get the extended warranty with your iPhone 11 last September, youвЂ™ve now got a fresh opportunity to lengthen coverage - and repairs are much cheaper when youвЂ™ve got AppleCare+. Apple has gone back and forth on how long iPhone customers have, alternating between a year and the current 60 days more than once.

Mac buyers used to have a year-long window to make a decision about buying AppleвЂ™s extended warranty, but when the company added accidental damage coverage to the plans, that timeframe tightened to 60 days. Retail staff and customer support staff were informed of the change on Monday, though AppleвЂ™s website still doesnвЂ™t reflect any update. According to Bloomberg, the company has stretched the eligibility for AppleCare+ to an entire year after the purchase of whatever device youвЂ™re covering.

Apple is yet again making changes to the window of time customers have to buy its AppleCare+ extended warranty for the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and other products.
