Can't say this video actually helped my decision, but I just purchased the AC+ for my MacBook. Wasn't sure its worth it, but I do commute with it every day and it worth is for the peace of mind. Just upgraded though from a 2015 air, and never had any issue with that one, but I did spend a lot more this time so thought it was a good idea. Having AC+ on my iPhone however I never doubted, that is an obvious one for me. I seldom get by a year without at least breaking the glass once.
If you call apple customer support & have an issue with your apple product and they try to send you to best buy, politely reject & say you rather go to a apple store. The service at best buy is no good.
Good job explaining how that works and what the advantage/disadvantages might be. I for one have never purchased this feature mostly due to the high cost. At least Apple offers it but doesn't mean a user has to sign up.
My MBP (M1 Max…) is used daily, but is almost always on my desk at the house. One morning about 8 months into ownership I opened the case to start work and there was a big red line down the screen. I did nothing to damage the screen but there it was. Apple was great and replaced the screen quickly and when my computer came back I noticed I was eligible to get AppleCare+ for $400. After some careful consideration I went for it. This laptop was over $3k and there are so many integrated components that could develop an issue after the 1 yr warranty period.
Hang on… where do you get your prices from?? My AppleCare+ is $9.99 a month!!
He was talking about AppleCare + annual plan which has different price for different devices @@jacksonjames7177
Was it covered under warranty or accidental damage? Was there an impact point on the screen?
Yes covered completely, no there was not an impact point since nothing hit it.
With the “battery replacement when under 80% maximum capacity” clause, I am a bit sceptical: in my extensive usage of 2 of my iphones se (2016) they never indicated the max capacity below 80%. Surely the gauge was gradually decreasing from the initial 100% but it almost felt like it “hit the wall” at 80% as if apple wanted somehow to prevent people claiming this insurance for the battery. But let’s be honest those phones i am talking about had super dead batteries, it felt actually much less than 80% of the initial capacity left in them.
They'll replace it if it hits 80%
@@loughrey101 yes, I understand. But it never hits "below 80%" in my experience. And it should be not 80%, it should be **below**, according to the warranty conditions
@@SuperMixedd the 4 year old battery in my iPhone 6 is terrible but it's stuck at 89% battery health. BUT, the indicator in battery health says "Service". So if this was the case, apple would replace it (if it was under warranty) even if it was over 80%. I called to ask them and they confirmed.
@@JP-gi5lj oh ok cool then tnx!!!!
My 12 reached 81% 2 months after applecare+ expired 😂
I always get applecare because the cost f repair is so high without it.
I didn’t really use the applecare+ that I got for my iPhone 12 Pro Max when i got it. I paid upfront and the cost was $260 for 2 years. The day before applecare expired, I felt like this was a bit sh*t of a deal so I called them and told them that my phone was damaged beyond repair and ordered them to send me a replacement. The deductible was about $100 and the tax was about $100. They also put a $1400 hold on my credit card which they released when I sent the old phone in. So for about $450 I got a replacement phone after 2 years. I smashed the old phone with a hammer and sent it back to them. I honestly haven’t decided if I think this is worth it yet. It’s definitely cheaper than buying a new iPhone 14 pro max, but it’s still a 2 year old model… so you don’t get the new features. It does help to have a phone with a new battery and it’s slightly less beat up and doesn’t have the tiny scratches that my old phone did. I think it’s a decent path if you don’t care about the new features. FYI the reason my 12 pro max costed so much is because it had the 512 gb of storage.
Classy
Wait, are you saying you destroyed a phone that worked perfectly fine? What a fucking waste.
@@Stan_sprinkle we don’t judge here 😅
That’s just fraud.
@@MrBrocking hence, a society where someone’s integrity is worth a few hundred bucks
100% worth it for iphones and macs! anything else is a personal preference, but since iphones and macs are generally the most expensive and most fragile items, you definitely want that extra protection
@@emdblyou Oh no, apple care covers more things than just damage lol. I've never broken any electronic device. I have apple care for free battery replacements when the devices get old, and also insurance if any device is stolen
Thanks for the explanation, I'm probably gonna get it, knowing how not gentle I am with these types of things.
I’ve had to use AppleCare each and every time I have bought a new Mac since 2014. Most of the time it’s battery (return once and swelling 3 times on two separate machines). Without AppleCare I might as well buy a new machine, so I have always found it worth it. BTW I don’t mistreat or move around my Mac a lot, but geez, it’s usually hardware failure on Apple’s side that they usually don’t acknowledge that it’s a problem. Also Batteries seem to swell with me and that is a hard one to pin down. . .
I love the idea of using AppleCare+ as my Phone Case. Its literally only $29 to replace the phone and $49 for iPad which is only half the price of an Apple Case
Bro what phone do you have because no phone is 29 dollars to replace the cheapest is the 5 at 49 dollars
you forgret to add the apple care + price to your "case". ^^
@@TheProsiriusit’s cheap what’s the issue
Will AppleCare plus cover dents and scratches along the edges of the aluminum protector wrapped around the iPhone , that are caused by everyday use ? (Color missing around the phone / dents etc)14/ 14 pro
Nope
I recently purchased a new iPhone 13 mostly because it went on promotion at at&t for $5 a month. I used to work at an at&t store then went to a dental office. I never felt the need to purchase AppleCare+ due to the fact my phone (iPhone X then 11 Pro) always had a screen protector and case at all times (I occasionally would rock my 11 Pro with no case bc it was the Midnight Green color). Until this year when I started working as a pool cleaning technician, sadly my iPhone 11 Pro fell and the back completely shattered. No insurance through at&t nor AppleCare+ so I had to resource to buying a refurbished iPhone XS which was what I could afford. I’m still a pool technician so this iPhone 13 is going to have AppleCare+ PLUS the strongest of cases & screen protectors lol
You live & learn 😂
I want to ask , I bought Apple care theft and loss for my iPhone 13 pro in uk , I am planning to go Italy , in case of damage, theft or loss there ?! can I turn back to uk and do the claim there ?! (What I know for sure I cannot claim it in Italy because I bought it in UK ) but if I turn back uk can I claim it again knowing that I lost/theft or damaged in Italy?! , or is the loss and theft UK covered for EU countries?!
Thank you
As soon as I heard that I still have to pay after making payments for the coverage I said “deuces” 😂
Will AppleCare+ for watch cover the “green snake of death”?
I’m a little confused about the (paid for by AppleCare+)
Like for an iPhone screen replacement. $29+$199 (paid for by AppleCare+)
Does this mean I just pay them $29 when my screen breaks and the rest is covered by my AppleCare+ insurance? Or does it mean I pay $228 on top of the annual fees?
29$ for the screen replacement front or back glass, nothing else
@@gomzisharma2007 Thanks!! 👍👍
It’s only $29.00 to repair a screen. You misunderstood it. It’s only 29.00 comes out to 34.75 after taxes
It's a tough decision to make. I have work macbook pro that was one of the last intel models, and I've had it for 4 years now with 0 issues. My imac has become unsupported so I decided to finally upgrade myself with a new mac book pro. My iMac is over 10 years old and I had 0 issues with that as well. My work laptop and iMac is making me not want applecare because they both have worked great with no issues. So I'm hoping this laptop will also work great, but it was so expensive that I'd hate to not have the insurance. I think I might end up getting it just for the peace of mind but I have a feeling I'll never use the insurance. I wish it were a little cheaper though.
I just bought a brand new apple watch, do you think its worth it for 50$ for 2 years . I work in a industry where it can possibly crack or get water damage
It worths any model price about higher than 1199 us.
but for base model like MacBook Air m1 which you can find at about $790 us, it is cheap and if you can ensure that you will not have accident, Applecare+ does not worth it. M1 chip is so efficient and as I use my air M1 for 3 months, battery cycle is just about 30. Battery will never degrade lower than 80% in 3 years for common usage. Air M1 hardware is also very stable. There is not much report about failure.
instead of buying AppleCare+, you can save money and after 2 or 3 years, adding it for buying newer model.
apple care for iphone is now 7.99 month or 149 for 2years that's a big jump
It’s 249 euro in Ireland. For iPhone 14 pro max.
Since 1996, I have been buying Apple computers sometimes with Apple Care and sometimes without Apple Care. Currently on any new iPad, I always pay for the basic Apple Care package (the one time fee). On desktop systems, if buying a refurbished unit from Apple, I never buy Apple Care. While, on a new desktop, I do buy Apple Care because between 90 days and 3-years something always stops working properly (i.e. the headphone port) and with Apple, it requires a new mother board to fix it (yeah, go figure) smile...smile.
Something can stop working on a refurbished unit too. I think you overestimate how rigorous their refurbished process is. I've seen Apple certified refurbished units that were faulty right out of the box
@@loughrey101 You make a good point, and there is really no right and wrong answer. However, if a refurbished unit of mine from Apple did not work properly. I would just carry it into my local Apple retail store for a replacement. Apple staff, acts one way when a device is still under warranty and a totally different way, when it is pass the warranty period (smile...smile).
I got AppleCare for my M1 iMac. My Magic keyboard with TouchID and Numerical Pad had liquid damage after i tried cleaning it. Apple replaced my keyboard with a brand new one, no questions asked. One of those keyboards costs more than my initial AppleCare outlay.
So, GUYS! Help me out.
I always buy an otterbox case for my iphones. Otterbox Defender. And a screen protector.
So, that's the one I have for my current 14 Pro Max. I got me the 1TB version because i wanted a lot of memory to last me a long time without needing to upgrade.
My prior phone was the 12 Pro Max 128gb and same thing; I had the Ottberbox Defender & screen protector.
During the 2yrs or so with my 12, it literally only cracked the screen protector just once. But i never replaced it since it was just the screen protector lol
Mind you with some of the work I do , my phone can drop from High places like a ladder or scaffold, or slips from my pockets or kinda toss it on tables lol
a bad habit of mines (not clumsy tho lol)
but that case protected it so well.
Even my old iPhone 8, same thing otterbox and screen protector and that one never cracked or anything.
So, with the 14, I'm thinking of getting AppleCare+, mainly to have it for a battery replacement ? Worth it?
my 12 pro max was getting annoying since i had to be charging it 2x a day, and my whole World like revolves being on my phone always. Plus it ran out of memory too
But would applecare+ be worth it for battery? the damages and unlimited repairs doesn't really wow me given my case that i use (i'm the paranoid guy who never wants to use slim cases despite how much more you can appreciate the beautiful iPhone lol) Seems you still have to pay for the battery anyways with applecare+, so idk?
So, curious to hear everyone's thought here?
How come the Applecare + I just got costs $13.49 a month? iPhone 14 Pro Max
Nice cap dude. Where did you buy it?
There's people who simply can't afford insurance because of food rent and utilities and a upkeep of a car plus gas. Even a hundred dollars extra may as well be a million. I'm sure that there are a lot of people who save a long time just to purchase the phone itself.
In India apple care plus is $150 for one year, so should I consider buying one or not.
I am curious as to what happens if you don't have Apple Care and drop your phone and it breaks. What stops one from doing that and then purchasing Apple Care and getting the repair?
I believe a device is only eligible for Apple care+ 60 days after purchase, you can extend it from that point until you cancel it but if your purchased the device a year ago you cannot then put apple care + onto it
How did you get the prices of Apple care + so low?
99$ for macs is the just the starting price, that is 99 is for the mac mini and for the m2 air its 229$
Does apple care cover water damage on iPad?
I have called them seven times on my Apple Watch! I bought it September 11 2023. They are not going to cover my watch that the battery is draining. They said it would cost me 349.00 to replace my new watch! I have Apple care Plus.
They said it did not water damage. It does not have water damage.
Tim Cook tells people he takes a shower everyday with his watch! I guess he gets a new one everyday.
I have been buying Apple products for about 20 years! They told me it did not matter because they will always find someone to buy their products.
I am from Steve Jobs generation and we have more money than people in their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s.
Apple will not last 15 more years! Apple is junk!!!!!!
Hello, I would like to buy a 14" MacBook pro but the benefits of the AppleCare Protection Plan are not very clear. Does the AppleCare Protection Plan add three years of warranty to the traditional two years (i.e. five years of warranty) or does it add one year to the traditional two years (i.e. three years of warranty). If it is the second answer, 249 € per year of warranty is not cheap! Thank you in advance for your answer :)
I believe it replaces the 1 year limited warranty with the stated period of time. So if it says you get 2 years of AppleCare coverage, it’ll replace your existing 1 year limited warranty with this new plan
It’s essentially a 3 years warranty.
Thanks for the video. What I don't get though is paying for Apple Care + and still having to pay anything, when something goes wrong!
it’s insurance, just like car insurance you have to pay a deductible
I would rather have to pay a service fee if I need something fixed than the alternative of having Apple Care + cost significantly more.
What does apple cover when it comes to water damage
Same question
They should cover water damage since that’s under the “accidental damage” clause
I highly recommend it for AirPods. Personally I’ve had a lot of issues with them over the years. Either one will stop charging or be finicky to actually get to charge. Or one of the drives starts to warp deep base in one ear and sounds awful.
AppleCare is much cheaper than buying a new singular AirPod or a case.
What about the problem you had with your EarPods pro?
Those were actually a review sample…
My phone got “on fire” battery was so hot from nowhere and stopped working. iPhone 11 PRO 3 years. Could not do anything with it… GARBAGE!!! Or $600 to fix.. when new cost $700… INSANE
How did you find Apple care for iPhone for $79
From mcDonalds cashier
@@egemenpiskin4899 😂😂😂
Ahmed from the shopping mall stand can take care of your iphone for $79.
😂
I think it's wrong to only consider Applecare in terms of accidental damage. Another benefit of Applecare is the extended warranty on parts in the product that might develop faults over time which can be very expensive to repair over time. My Macbook Pro developed a screen defect, had never dropped it out damaged it, Apple replaced the screen and the bill that was shown to me would have been 700 dollars had I no cover. So, Apple's hardware isn't perfect and things can go wrong over time after the one year warranty is up, and so having a warranty extended to 3 years, even for people who take care of their products, can be important, especially it's a high spec custom Mac, especially due to how tightly integrated and difficult to repair the new Macs have become that it makes more sense now than it did 10 years ago. I don't get Applecare for iPhones or other products as they generally cost me under a thousand to buy new and as they have a one year upgrade cycle compared to a 2 year for Macs, they depreciate much faster and so you'd likely be able to simply buy a cheap replacement after a year anyway with lots of them being sold cheap on the used market as people want to upgrade to the latest model.
So you buy iPhone evey year?
I am very sceptical about Apple efficiency based on my experience so far. Therefore, I've never purchased this service. I do not like the hustle and would rather take my chances. If I purchased it every time I got a new devise, I would add up to the cost of at least 1 new device. The cover costs more than my network provider. As you rightly pointed out, perhaps it could be worth considering in some circumstance. Thank you for the useful video.
Thoughts on Applecare + vs ATT Asurion? ATT has theft and loss protection, to get that in Applecare + is only a few dollars less so really which is the better deal in general for most users?
I know I choose apple care over Att insurance because it was cheaper. I guess it’s just whatever u feel comfortable with . I just didn’t want to see anther charge on my bill when Att has already gone up on prices and some of the taxes r just crazy .
@@kumikco90 True, it is a few bucks cheaper and you're right, between an Ipad, iPhone, and watch ultra the ATT bill is absurd. I pay the devices off and it's still ridiculous, I use Asurion right now but after how they handled a broken screen on the fold 3 and not having a phone for a month I'm not impressed. The only concern with Apple is I'm nowhere near an Apple store and the rumor is anytime they replace or repair they want $1K holding say for a phone. Does that sound accurate to you?
@@NateSail82 oh that’s crazy . Yeah I would be upset with asurion to. And I definitely agree about the bill with Att still being ridiculous even after everything is paid off. I’m not sure about the holdings . I’ve only cracked my iPhone screen once I did go into the Apple Store . But I’ve heard you can mail the device in for repair and once it done they mail it back . But it’s worth looking into . I really hope they don’t charge like that . But things r so different now with the pandemic.
@@kumikco90 Thanks again for replying and taking time to tell me about your experience with Applecare. I'm truthfully an android and windows to Apple everything convert. Between the fold and Windows 11 release wrecking my laptop I reached a tipping point with both. It's amazing how well everything apple just works, hopefully I never need insurance but smart to have it. I think I'll ditch Asurion and go with Applecare for everything save the watch I don't see the point for that. Merry Christmas!
Why are these prices so different than what I'm seeing on my end? I *wish* it was only $99 for 3 years on a new Macbook. I have one in my shopping cart and they want $229.
It STARTS at $99 but that is only going to be for the cheapest model unfortunately
In my country (England) AppleCare for my new iPhone pro max 13 is coming up at £11.99 a month !?
Yeah wth why is it so much more here
Dude - the sheet which tells you the prices is wrong says iPhone AppleCare is 3.99 per month or 79 dollars. That hasn’t been true for many years.
1:16 on video
It’s true but only for the iPhone SE.
“FROM” !!! Read
$12.99/month here in Canada for Applecare+ on an iphone 14 pro :/
I like to have applecare at least for the first 2-3 years. Im paying 1500 plus cad for something i dont want to risk something going wrong and being out that when i could have just paid the extra and have that peace of mind. Even more so when you have a laptop you paid 3-4000+ for.
Me: i just bought an new iPhone 14 gonna but the insurance.
Apple: announcing the new iPhone 15, iPhone 14 is obsolete.
Me: still paying insurance for and obsolete devices.
Apple: don’t worry we’ll give you a new iPhone 14 if it breaks.
Just got my iPad Pro and Pencil replaced for free because of AppleCare+. Definitely worth it.
Were they refurbished??
@@lilylemoncake2091 no bought them both new
I think it's stupid that you pay for it but then when something happens you have to pay again on top of the original fee
It's just like any other insurance. Health insurance, car insurance, etc.
I break my phone so often i need it
To me it is def worth it, I had to use AppleCare+ on almost all my devices. The first iMac screen was cracked cuz I was moving between apartments, got it fixed for free. Then 2nd iMac's hard drive died, got the whole iMac replaced for free AFTER my AppleCare+ had expired. 3rd iMac which is the one I am using now, the Apple Silicon iMac, bought it back in March, and now is Jun, the bottom screen had a grey line across, went to the Apple Store and they told me this is under the one yr warranty so they gonna replace the screen for free, without warranty it will cost $770 USD (although this has nothing to do with AppleCare+ since it's still within the standard warranty, I bet this imac will break too knowing apple crappy quality.) That's just for iMac. Now the iPhone, I started to use iPhone since iPhone 4G, and I always buy the AppleCare+, and I had to use AppleCare on all of the iPhones other than the iPhone 11 pro max, 12 pro max. The hassle-free experience is just so good.
All this told me was that you experienced an unlucky streak with apple products breaking down quickly. If all these devices have malfunctioned so badly that you needed them replaced or fixed only a few months afterwards....maybe the quality of them isn't that great then. :(
I just cant justify spending $400 for Applecare+ for the 16" MacBook Pro
9.99USD for iphone in the US😢
iPhone.
$13.99 and $17.99 per month in Australia. Such a rip off.
lets not forget about the consumer laws. check your country but they offer free replacement/repairs.
iPhone 14 is over $13 a month now
Apple care+ vs Verizon insurance
The only product you need AppleCare for is an iPhone it’s the most used and most vulnerable device
It’s 14$ a month now for iPhones and it used to be 4$?!?!
cool i took a bite out of my Apple

I just purchased and lost a brand new iPhone13 in 4 days. I purchased AppleCare but was not told that they had different types (lost/stolen) options. AppleCare sales SUCKS!
My issue is there's no apple store near bye
I think you can also get it at a Costco as well or online
I always say what they charge an Apple Care insured for repairs is basically what they could and SHOULD be charging everyone, but won’t. Because they want to sell insurance. When they say Apple Care gets you a new iPad screen for $49 bucks, that’s not them taking a hit because you have Apple Care. $49 bucks is what Apple can replace a screen for without losing any money as a company. So that NON-insureds are paying a $550 penalty should THEY ever need that iPad screen replaced. All smoke and mirrors.
Does anyone else pay 13.49 a month for apple care plus for iPhone 12 Pro Max
Don’t get it, my phone was damaged but still worked cracked all over and they didnt tell me that it wouldn’t be covered cause of catastrophic damage. So they charged me 1000$ after I already got my refund from the 1000$ hold and no email as to why I was charged I had to contact apple and am dealing with trying to get a refund because they didn’t Inform me when I wanted to do the replacement method.
13.59 a month
I’ll buy it in case I get mugged
😂
You can buy a glock and mug the mugger for the same price.
I have iPhone 13 product red ,and I don't find apple care ...!??
🍏 doesn't care for you 😢
That is probably because you already had your phone for 60 days and more because you can only get them 60 days after your purchase of the phone. You can still get apple care+ but you have to go to Apple Store and get it in person.
"Back in the iphone 12 days"
Bro u talking about two months ago?
we're on 14 now, not 13 lol
It’s worth it trust me
I always get applecare+ because I don’t use a case. And I get theft and loss as well and just report it lost when it’s almost up get a refurbished one and resale it as new. Works every time.
Lol yea thats quite some loophole
You resale your old one or the one that comes in? Because doesn’t the one you report gets locked ?
You people need to stop abusing the system. They gonna increase the price!
@@juanmaldonado8892 He means the new one, since there's no scratches he can sell it for more money. The old one will be locked and only good for trash can.
I think that's a crime 🤔
Me watching this video after I crack my one month used iPhone 14 pro max, I really want to cry
I just purchased an iPhone and the care plan was 200 so I decide not to get it.
199$ overpriced garbage. Just pay for it with a credit that gives you an extra 1 year warranty and slap a case/screen protector on the phone and call it a day!
But not everyone wanna use a case on their phone. Some people like using their phone naked because they are designed to be used like that. Apple didn’t create the best designs and build for the iPhone just so you can put a case on it lol. Screen protector is a must tho but a case not really. But that’s your own phone/money , so do what you want , I’m just sayin. I have an iPhone 13 starlight and I love the way this phone looks especially the color it makes it look so premium
Anyone else hear the smacking noises when he speaks? That mic is too close to his mouth and I can’t focus on the video because of it.
I highly recommend it for AirPods. Personally I’ve had a lot of issues with them over the years. Either one will stop charging or be finicky to actually get to charge. Or one of the drives starts to warp deep base in one ear and sounds awful.
