Usually, in most countries, Apple will give customers 60 days to buy AppleCare+ to protect their purchase of a Mac, iPad, or iPhone.Īccording to the leaked document, customers who have had their iPhones for less than a year and have recently had their iPhone repaired by Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider will be eligible to purchase Apple Care+ for their devices. If it does I’ll buy a new one with the money I’ve saved so far.In a leaked internal document obtained by MacRumors, Apple may begin offering iPhone customers a second chance to purchase the AppleCare+ extended repair and warranty plan offered by Apple. I’m betting that it won’t fail in the next three years.

I purchased AppleCare for my 2020 iPad Pro and have for most of my iPhones. Since then I’ve owned multiple iPods, MacBooks, Minis, iPhones and iPads and AppleCare would have only saved me $150 for a dead SuperDrive in 2005. I purchased my first personal Mac (G5 PowerMac) in 2003. The $9000 that I didn’t spend on AppleCare, invested in the S&P 500, would have grown to around $16,000 during those 9 years.Īpple hardware is expensive and paying and extra 10% each time doesn’t add up for me. AppleCare would not have covered any of those failures. In nine years I spent about $200 each to replace 2 or 3 spinning hard drives and wrote off 1 iMac that died of motherboard failure. If so, AppleCare would have been around $9000 for our first order of 60 machines. I think AppleCare for an iMac in 2009 was about $150. I used to purchase AppleCare for company MacBooks and iPads at my last job, but never for iMacs. you still have to buy three years? or is it a truly a one year insurance? I notice they now offer a yearly AppleCare. I guess its going to come down to peace of mind and maybe that is worth it.
Since in this case the items are a Mac Studio and a display they are never going to move off my desk, so the only risk is their actual component failure. Which has left me thinking I’d rather buy a new replacement than spend significant money on a repair.

I must have been very lucky with my Apple equipment because they have only ever failed me after the warranty period (or even after the AppleCare period in the case of my last iMac which I did buy AppleCare for).Īnd if I’m honest the one experience of an Apple repair (my last iMac) was an awful experience resulting eventually in a full refund from Apple after failing to actually fix it ( I then went on to fix it myself by simply replacing the power supply). My view has always been that taking into consideration the cost of each insurance (in this case AppleCare) you could probably afford to replace one item if it were to break. YMMV, of course, and none of us know yet if it will be necessary for the Studio Display. In particular, I find it useful for mobile items. Overall, AppleCare has saved me much more than I’ve spent, particularly on the laptop side and the phone side. If I had AppleCare, I would have replaced it by now.

Ironically, my Apple TV is an annoying piece of junk that started getting funky only after its 1 year was up.

AirPods batteries die within a couple years and AppleCare covers their replacement, so it’s basically a free replacement when they inevitably go.A big screen is an important part of my business. The Studio Display is a little more complex than the average display and cost a lot of money, for a monitor.
