- If you buy AppleCare, you are probably throwing away money. There are some advantages to purchasing AppleCare, but here's why you most likely don't need to spend the extra cash.

A few updates! First, I found out that you CANNOT buy an AppleCare+ plan in full once you start the monthly option, so choose wisely. Since 2 Apple employees told me that, they offered to let me purchase it in full but they said that it is not actually something they offer. So when deciding between monthly and buying the full two-year plan, keep that in mind.
*SECOND:* I decided to cancel AppleCare+ for my watch. The reason is that I have become more comfortable with the durability of the watch itself, and I also discovered a super high-quality screen protector since making this video. It is the Whitestone Dome Glass screen protector and I have a review on it here. th-cam.com/video/exox8kNyKnQ/w-d-xo.html
I shopped around, other companies like Upsie, Square Trade, Cell phone providers, even USAA offer extended warranties. In the end with my SE 2020, I got the Apple care 2 year plan for $79.
You never really need Apple Care+ until you damage, lose, or have your device stolen....which, is when you CANNOT get it.
Haha yep. That's the gamble of insurance. If you know you are likely to break your stuff (you've cracked a lot of phones or damaged Apple Watches in the past), AppleCare+ makes sense. If you generally don't break stuff, it's likely not worth it. We will all slip eventually and crack/damage a phone (I've done it), but paying full price for a screen replacement every few years will ultimately be cheaper than buying AC+ on every Apple product you get.
So if your iPhone is stolen or you lose it what’s the process for apple care +?
@@LYMKBCNL I'm not sure. I've never had AC+ with the theft and loss coverage, and I've never lost a phone or had one stolen. You can surely find more info on Google from those who have run into that issue and have proper coverage.
@@LYMKBCNL iPhone 8, 7, 6s, SE $ 149 $ 199
iPhone Plus models $ 149 $ 229
iPhone 11, iPhone XR $ 149 $ 229
iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max $ 149 $ 269
iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max $ 149 $ 269
I didn't get AppleCare plus and my 2 year old 2016 Macbook 12in shit the bed. Apple wanted $1000 to repair it, cost me $2700 originally.
For my dad who has crunched another phone in his recliners mechanisms I definitely got applecare+ on it when I bought him the phone.
Yep, seems smart in that situation! Haha
I just purchased Apple Care for my iPhone 11 Pro Max.
Now I’m guaranteed to not get a scratch on it for the next 2 years.
Bahaha. Don't blame you. The 11 Pro Max is expensive!
John Giambastiani did the same for my 11, I do not have the money to pay another $600 to fix a cracked screen 😂
Harry Larkin smart man!
The repair costs are ridiculous!
It’s good to have that insurance, especially if you plan on keeping your phone 2 plus years.
John Giambastiani yep, normally keep a phone for 2-3 years before upgrading
Harry Larkin same here, but if Apple goes port less in 2021, I might get the 12 Pro Max in September of 2021. Just before the 2021 models come out. I would hate having an iPhone without a charging port.
Been buying Apple stuff for 30+ years - never once got Apple care. Any problem I had was covered by a call-back or the normal waranty. Extra insurance is a total scam... (sorry Apple) don’t waste your money ♥️✌🏽♥️✌🏽
Yep, it only pays off in rare cases. Thanks for watching!
Craylor Made anything spent over $3000 is required to have apple care plus
yea like every insurance. if you are not rich get an insurance
I’m wondering if it truly isn’t worth it though. I mean scratches, cracks, dents etc. All devalue your phones price when it comes to selling it in the future.. so by having apple care it assures your phone will ALWAYS be in a “like-new condition” .. therefore adding more dollars in your pocket.. Plus, I’ve had issues with previous iPhones I’ve owned that have a specific annoying problem with the charging port causing my chargers to only allow charge if I move it a certain distraction, slow charge time and other battery/charge port issues. AppleCare would remove those pesky problems.. & that’s my reasoning for actually buying AppleCare.
And what is the difference between normal warranty and AppleCare warranty? .. I don’t know
AppleCare + is worth every cent I’ve got it on my iphone11 Apple Watch series 3 & iPad Pro 2020 haven’t had to use it yet but if people love to waste a lot of money on replacing broken or defective products then that’s up to you but I know for at least 2 years it will cost next to nothing to get fixed or replaced so definitely worth it
Definitely a mindset! If it's worth it to you for peace of mind and you think you'll have to file claims, it's a good thing to have.
Craylor Made I decided to get it for my products as I sometimes drop my phone & definitely piece of mind knowing I have it in case I need it & my daughter uses my iPad so if a accident happens I’ll be fine :)
for me ill rather be safe then sorry. I had a MBA for 2.5 years before my nephew broke it while doing his homework and then Apple replaced the computer with a new upgraded model for free. If I had no AppleCare I would have been boned. By the way, I also broke the iPhone 6s the first day I had it during a workout the sweat broke the phone and Apple replaced the water damaged phone for free. So based on experience I believe it is worth it. Do they make money, of course because sometimes you won't break it but if you do you are saving 200 bucks and end up spending 1000 what kind of risk assessment is that.
It all comes down to how you use the product. I have had my 1st generation ipad air for 7 years now and it's in good condition. I have seen many colleagues whose iphone screen is broken, but I have never dropped my phone. I don't use screen protector, because I don't think my finger can scratch the glass screen. I think apple care is not necessary, because I usually buy a new phone after 2 years of use.
Yep, after upgrading my Series 4 to the Series 5 and continuing to wear an Apple Watch daily, I'm finding they are pretty durable. The only device I have AppleCare+ for now is my AirPods Pro, and that's strictly so I can take advantage of a battery replacement close to the two year mark since AirPods batteries always give out around then.
Well I never bought Apple care and bought an iPad Pro 10.5 back in 2017. It’s 2020 and it randomly decides to stop working and when I brought it in they realized that it was a hardware issue. Never cracked the screen, no cracks or dents because I use it for work... and they expect me to pay $500 for it to repair a 3 year old device caused by the horrible hardware issues they have in the products long term. I think they don’t build quality hardware on purpose otherwise they wouldn’t make money with Apple care and upgrading to new devices. So it doesn’t matter if you took care of your product when they give less than two year warranty on an over $500 product. It’s really a gamble with these greedy people.
Yeah, Apple definitely has issues with quality control. The lightning port on my iPhone XS seems to have a short in it after 2 years, and I barely use it as I always use wireless charging. It's disappointed for such an expensive device. Sometimes if you're lucky, Apple will fix it free even if it's out of warranty, but it's rare.
Craylor Made hmmmm thats if you bring it in and a worker takes it. I hate to hear that about your phone. My iPhone 6splus thankfully still works today but I have learned to not dish money to Apple like that anymore or do their lease program. I will buy Apple products that are refurbished from third party or from backk market from now on and just pay full price for the device I want of a two to three year model and rotate them when refurbished warranty is about to run out. Kinda like flipping cars. Apple plays on people but it’s funny how when I bought windows laptops or the first Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 back in the day they both lasted almost a decade until I sat on them. I think tech should last as long as cars for the first 10-15 years at least....
Buddy u just paid for Apple care(179) and ur repair was 79. A guy broke his watch and it cost him 279 but he didn’t buy 179 dollar Apple care . See where I’m going here? Yea like he said Apple is selling you fear.
The biggest joke is you pay a huge premium price for Apple Care+ out of the gate then if you need it you get charged a second time for the repair. So what you are really paying for with Apple Care is a discount. It's a total farce. Buy a high quality protective case/screen protector to protect your expensive investment and forget about it.
Yep. Like I said in the video, the house always wins. If you are truly wreckless with your phone and use both accidental claims it is obviously going to save you money, but the better solution is to protect your phone properly and just pay up for the rare occasions in life when you have a screw-up. I've only broken one phone so far in my life and it was a very obscure and unlikely scenario.
Craylor Made Ive never broken a phone either. However I easily could have. But I've always spent a little more on a protective case. Just last weekend my iPhone 7 Plus slipped out of my hand as I was walking upstairs in my house. It perfectly went through the stairwell railings and down a level onto a hardwood floor. Other the saying "Shit!" I doubt my heart even skipped a beat. I knew the expensive UAG Monarch case I have on it would protect it. People who walk around with no case or those stupid decorative ones are the people who need to be ripped off with Apple Care. I don't need it.
Man-Bag Dammit omg😄, stupid decorative case is what destroyed my phone😅
I generally protect my wrist, and have never had any issues breaking my Apple Watch in daily wear since the thing launched. I’m on a 7 now and never damaged it-other than 1 time that I scraped it against a wall when I had the 4, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker. I kept going. It’s durable.
I recommend it for anyone on a phone or iPad that doesn’t like to put them in cases, but tbh a case saves you the money and time spent without a phone, so I still lean toward case and no applecare. You still pay for repairs and parts with applecare. It’s bullshit. I may or may not work for apple support…
Oh NO! what if I'm driving my car and my shoe falls off and the gas power gets pressed down and stabs the top of my foot? Oh wait... I brought foot care plus. But then I got my arms. What if I'm writing cheat notes for my math class next period but I accidentally pick up the razorblade tool and cut open my arm? Oh wait! I bought arm care plus. But I got tired of paying $100 a day so I just said. Who needs em.
This is amazing.
ChrisPy haha ur laughing now but it won’t be funny when you need the apple care
So you don't have insurance then?
Absolutely brilliant! The best yet no nonsense breakdown on whether to get AppleCare+ or not.
I needed this! I was debating on getting it for my iPhone 11 Pro Max. Instead I’m just keeping it in a case and having the coverage on my watch, Thanks!
I got Applecare+ for my Macbook Pro and don't regret it. I broke the screen and without AC+ it would be £700+ to repair.
Good timing on that! I love it when extended warranties pay off.
I’ve only had my iPhone for like a month and I already scratched and chipped it. I still have the option for apple care but how would that work? Should I get it?
Yes, you could still get AC+, but Apple typically doesn't replace phones even under AC+ just for scratches and chips. I've heard of people insisting on it though and Apple doing it. If you went that route, it would cost $29 if the scratches are on the screen, or $99 if they are anywhere else (the body or back of the phone). This would also eat up one of two accidental damage claims.
For me, people believe the warranty covers alot. I work in retail people always refuse the coverage then come back 6 to 7 months later saying something doesn't work at the manufacturing won't do anything. Then argue about replacing it. All I can say is sorry you didn't buy the warranty. That process happens SO often
Yup. I find with Apple it's pretty clear cut. If you damaged it, you pay for it. If there's no signs of physical damage, Apple takes care of it if it's within 1 year. I've had 3 warranty claim experiences with Apple. They replaced an Apple Watch Series 4 that got bricked by a software update.
They replaced my iPhone Xs when the camera lens cracked and I didn't drop it. Yep - you heard me right. Replaced for free. I did NOT have AppleCare+. I just had to work my way up to customer relations and sent them some 9to5Mac articles about how it's a common issue with the camera lens depending on the climate.
I also had my screen start glitching out and ultimately stop working after I accidentally took my iPhone in the pool. This was CLEARLY accidental damage, but I took it to the Apple Store and just mentioned that my screen stopped working. They didn't ask about water damage, I wouldn't lie if they did ask me. They took the phone and to my surprise, they put a brand new screen on for free - I've never had an issue since.
In my experience, Apple is generous in the 1 year window. As soon as that ends, all the kindness ends with it. My charging port shorted out on the iPhone Xs after 1 year, and they quoted me $500 to fix it. I never bothered to work up to CR because I was ready to replace it anyway.
Literally just take care of your stuff better.
It's not worth buying insurance for something that costs $500 like an apple watch. And before anyone says anything yes, Apple care is essentially insurance not really a "warranty"
I totally agree! I don't have AppleCare+ on my most recent Apple Watch and haven't had an issue. With that being said, I would argue that a warranty and insurance are a bit interchangeable, but it does function as an extended warranty. For example, the charging port on my iPhone stopped working through no damage or fault of my own. I would have had to pay $500 to fix it. With AppleCare+, it would have been covered and still in the 2-year window. It effectively extends the manufacturer warranty for another year, and you don't pay anything for a "damage claim" for incidents like that.
No Otterbox. I have good hand-eye coordination.
Nice! I know some people who just don't drop their phone
Hello. Quick question? I bought Apple Care + for my MacBook Air 2020 back in September. On Tuesday I dropped soup all over my keyboard...long story short now it won’t turn on at all. I have an appointment @ the Genius Bar on Sunday but how much will they cover my MacBook Air? Will they replace it...I’m so worried I literally just bought this laptop
If you purchased AppleCare+, you will have to pay a $299 deductible for a damage claim. They will replace the laptop entirely given the damage.
Just purchased the Pro Max. Not only do I have the Otterbox Defender and the glass screen protector but I also have AppleCare+ only because screen protector and case doesn’t protect the phone from screen burn!
Leaned that the hard way lol
Oh wow! Did you experience burn in on an OLED iPhone before? I have never heard of that being a wide spread problem with iPhones, although it is absolutely an issue with some Android phones.
Craylor Made+ It only happened with the iPhone X but I had the screen replaced twice. Hopefully it was just a faulty phone because my brother has the X and he never had that problem 🤷🏻♂️
@@Ghostofenzo It’s not faulty, OLED and AMOLED screens burn in when the phone is constantly on, on high brightness mode while using apps that have bright white themes. That’s what dark mode is used for. And screen burn should be covered by warranty.
I just bought Ipad 6th gen; i was debating for Applecare or not. But, I decided not to go for it. I hope i made a wise choice!!
I think as long as you have a case or a skin, you made a good choice! That's an entry level iPad with a good build quality so I don't think it's worth the extra money for AC+.
Neno how is ur iPad going, I had the 5th gen for school, got fucked twice cause of it being in my school bag, thank god I had AppleCare
Harry Larkin my iPad 6 generation is still rockin; no issues, but I only use at home. Also I bought a case for it and screen protector. My only regret is buying the Apple Pencil only used it like 3 times since I purchased it. Well you live in learn. I heard new iPad is coming out next week.
I really don´t know, I recently bought an Applecare + for my Apple Watch and I hope I never have to use it, but who knows! Chrstian when you make a video of the apps you currently use.
Nöri Ælmeida I haven't made a "what's on my phone" video in a long time, that's a great idea! Thank you for the suggestion.
@@Craylor yeah i know i was looking in your videos for that lol
You made sense...it’s cheaper to rock a very protective case.
It totally is! Cost vs. convenience.
For their computers its a must. Everything is fused and glued to the motherboard.
That statement is true for basically all Apple products. It’s definitely a personal choice based on how much you want insurance.
“There’s just so many risks you’re taking.”
Exactly right! House always wins! My wife cracked her series 4 Apple Watch screen and was crying about it. Regretting she should of bought apple care. Apple was charging 290 or buy watch series 5. So she ends up buying new watch and throws the old one to me. What do I do? Call my buddy who fixes phones and charges me $130. Now watch looks like new.... But I learned a lesson. If my wife would have bought apple care she would be paying for it and if it breaks YOU STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR....house always wins
That's right. You have the advantage of Apple standing behind their repairs, though, and they typically end up replacing the device with an entirely new unit. I rarely get AppleCare+ on devices now and opted not to get it for my Series 5.
Craylor Made late reply here . You are absolutely right if my wife were to have apple care they would of just replaced it with the series 5 they said. (Which I thought I thought was very cool). But as cheap as I am lol I think of it like a car. I know mechanics and in this case I know gadget repair wiz buddies who I TRUST and just pay them to fix. Everybody is free to chose their way
You don't need AppleCare till you break your screen and have to pay $329. I've broken the screen of my iPhone in an Otterbox Defender while it's in my pocket. I'm a safe driver so I can cancel my car insurance right?
That's pretty intense - I've never heard of an iPhone screen getting broken like that. You have to ask yourself, how many times have you broken an iPhone screen without AC+ and how many iPhones have you had? If you've had 3 iPhones (2 years each x 6 years) and you paid ~$450 for AC+ across those 3 years, it would still have been cheaper to take that hit. If you want to buy AppleCare+, there's nothing wrong with that, but it sounds like that was an unfortunate incident and your risk factor is relatively low. Thanks for watching!
@@Craylor To be honest with any form of insurance you're going to pay more out than you get in return. If that wasn't the case insurance companies would go broke. If you always have enough free cash to repair or replace your phone and you're not a complete klutz any insurance to include AppleCare is probably a waste of money. The time I would recommend it is if you know you've broken multiple phones in the past or just don't have $750 + for a worse case scenario phone replacement. While phone companies will allow you to pay off your phone over two years I don't think they'll do this with a replacement so it's going to be up to you to come up with that cash all at once. The $329 price is for my current XS Max that I have not broken (knock on wood). My 7 Plus was the one that had a cracked screen but Apple would not touch it because the moisture strip by the sim card was red. My options were to pay some phone repair place to fix it but they likely would not have used genuine Apple components so I decided that it was pretty much junk at that point. The only other iPhone I've had problems with was my iPhone 5 when the power button stopped working. It was a manufacturing defect but the Apple store refused to do anything because I was out of warranty and didn't have AppleCare. I found out later that Apple had a repair program going for this issue but maybe the people at the Apple store didn't want to deal with it so they didn't tell me.
You could get a brand new phone say yours was lost for 150/200 bucks😂😂
Car insurance is totally different. Your not putting other peoples lives at risk when you use your phone.
For my iPhone I pay Verizon $9 a month but they cover me if I lose/get it stolen. Which I already did once. But I would say apple care isn't worth it. If you have a am MacBook on the other side I would definitely recommend it. I for a 2015 MacBook when I first came out. Got it serviced over the 3 years and it ended earlier this June. I took it in August with an issue. They looked into it and since the problem was the motherboard they literally refunded for my entire Macbook include tax and minus apple care. And gave it to me to use to get a new MacBook 15 2018 which was awesome of them even though my Mac was out of warranty. This is why I love to have apple care on my Mac and now they even cover accident damage
Gotcha. The theft and loss protection for $9 per month is pretty nice. One thing to think about though is the fact that if you crack the screen and they "repair" tf, I don't think it would be an official Apple part. I may be wrong, but I think only Apple themselves can use official parts. Unless Verizon has Apple themselves fix it. I've always wondered about that for carrier insurance.
Best explanation ans point of view I've seen so far!!
You’re basically paying for extended warranty that you most likely aren’t going to use if you take good care of your stuff. So you’re literally paying for nothing because even if you break it you’re still paying for the for the cost accept they are charging you all at once since you don’t have care
Isn’t that an old case? Not really the same if you can’t get it for your iPhone anymore.
They can’t do nothing about the frame of the phone if you end up dinging it pretty good I don’t think they straighten it and buff it out maybe they just give you a new phone tho?
I have a question so I have an iPhone, a watch and a MacBook Air. I only have Apple Care for my phone but not my watch or laptop. I am very careful and I protect my stuff my MacBook has a case screen protector etc. Do I really need apple care for it I'm a college student at that? I just got it like two or three weeks ago? It's just too expensive tbh I'm already paying for Apple Music and apple care each month
Apple care is worth it for the iphone if you dont use a case and not worth it for the watch, My watch survived a rough 4 years from me falling off longboards a few times to working on my car and getting bumped a lot, it just has a few scratches.
Why can't you put your watch away when walking over rocks?
Because no one wants to take their watch off and slip it into their pocket like that LOL. Fast forward to today, I've been using an Apple Watch for a year and a half now, and I no longer have AppleCare+ on it and don't worry about it.
What do you think about Applecare for the MacBook Air?
It depends on your lifestyle. If you travel a lot, I'd probably get it. If it's going to sit at a desk regularly, I'd hold off
I tell people all the time to put warranty side by side from carrier or geek squad or Apple care. For instance, sprint is more beneficial for me because it's now $39 to replace your screen glass front and back. That's a great price and it's like $15/mo. If you lose it or it's stolen you pay a deductible. Does Apple care cover that type of stuff? I'm not quite sure. But definitely put warranties side by side before spending a chunk of money on one
AppleCare+ offers a theft and loss version for $14.99 per month with a deductible. The standard accident coverage is $9.99 per month with a $29 screen replacement cost and $99 for back glass or other accidental damage. Things that just stop working outside of the one year warranty should be a free fix under AppleCare+
I will get Apple care+ for my watch but not phone.
I’m debating on weather to get Apple Care for AirPod Pro.. any advice??
Makes perfect sense, thanks for making this video, you've earned a new sub lmao
Would you say it’s smart to buy Apple care + for €40 straight with AirPods Pro? You probably won’t break them, but if you break them they are probably NOT recoverable
I personally bought AppleCare+ for my AirPods Pro and would recommend it for 1 reason: battery replacement. AirPods are famous for the batteries giving out around the 2 year mark, so you can have them replace the batteries (aka the entire unit) free around the 1 year 11 month mark. As long as you set a reminder to do it in time, I think it's a no brainer. You'll be set for another 2 years of use.
Craylor Made ah okay, thanks. :)
But it’s near 2 years when you replace it. I now don’t have the money for an extra €40, so can I do it later?
@@thijsbakker961 AppleCare+ has to be purchased within 60 days of getting the device. After that, you will not be able to buy it.
Is that Anker on the display? Wise choice
Yep. I forgot to change it before filming 😝
I just dropped left pair of my airpods through the gap between elevator and ground (can you believe it!!!). It got me thinking whether I should have bought an Apple care to get a replacement and I made a Google search and found out that I had to pay $29 for apple Care, plus $29 for the replacement. Without apple care it's just $69. One has to use apple care twice to get the advantage out of it. Thanks but no thanks Apple 👋🏼
How about if you purchase a mac?
It's a very personal choice. It's not worth it for me, as it's pretty expensive for MacBooks, but if you travel often and it's worth it to you for the peace of mind, it may make sense.
$3500 (Japan Price) is not cheap at all. 😆 also, i dont plan on carrying a 4 lbs weight every time i travel. Thanks!
I need help. how do I cancel my apple care subscription?
If you are paying month-to-month, you can call/chat in with Apple, or cancel in the Subscriptions tab of the App Store where you manage all recurring subscriptions. If you bought the full two-year plan and are seeking a pro-rated refund, you'll need to call Apple.
Apple care saved me today...walked out with a new replacement iPhone
That's awesome! Glad it came in handy.
MsPreshbaby I want to do the same can you explain me how it works ?
So when you have apple care do you get a new phone when damaged or a refurbished one like your normal carriers do?
You earned another subscriber and help me make my choice that I need the AppleCare for my series 5 Apple Watch and I’ll just be careful with my 11 Pro LOL
Nice! Thanks for your support.
Thanks bro
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 :)
It’s the second scenario. When you buy AppleCare+, the term you buy replaces the limited warranty. Also, you’re more so “upgrading” your warranty, including during the standard limited warranty period.
The limited warranty wouldn’t cover accidental physical damage during the 24 months, but AppleCare+ would. Hopefully that helps!
Great common sense man. Appreciate the video!
Hey can u do a review of the new wireless bra
So, eat healthy and exercise, don't buy health insurance because the insurance companies make a profit?
That isn't moronic at all.
That situation is totally different. Medical bills are limitless. You could get cancer through no fault of your own and be out millions of dollars. In this scenario, you're only ever out the maximum cost of the device. Is that a lot of money? Absolutely. But I believe your comparison is a bit flawed. Insurance is personal preference, and I totally respect anyone who wants to get AC+ for the peace of mind :)
what happens to the repaiir costs if the warranty expires?
They go very up
My MacBook Pro M1 is a LEMON with issue after issue after issue. I just bought it and @AppleCare will not replace it even though I've called or chatted with them 5 time with issues that keep me from being able to work. The touchpad would have a mind of it's own, beach balls would freeze the computer, apps like Numbers would disappear, the computer would go to sleep while I was typing on it. @Apple won't replace it... they expect me to fix every issue as it shows up taking up hours per week of my time.
Old video ik, buuut I hate keeping my phone in a case and I have trashed about 5 or 6 iPhones now. Debating on getting AppleCare for my brand new XR
I would definitely getting you have that type of track record. You know your phone use better than I do, but if you've trashed 5-6 iPhones it seems worth it to me.
If the phone was a big $ stretch to buy, then the monthly may be worth it. mobeleash
Because I am in a foreign country but getting a new iPhone since my other one is shutting down, should I get Apple cars plus In case I lost it? Would Apple care + play for out of country?
Hey!
So for indeapth of apple care plus search 'Elton AJ menezes apple care' on TH-cam. Video is helpful.
How about battery replacement?
I live around with my family part of time got cousin loves to steal stuff from people so I think apple care & theft or loss is worth it for me but 270$ is lot but fuck it
Buys Apple Products, *uses a Samsung Monitor*
Hahaha yep. Got it cheap used from a friend. A monitor is a monitor, right?
@@Craylor right....
I'm planning on getting the Iphone 11 not the pro. But I want to save as much money as possible. I'm thinking I will trade in my phone/sell of my phone when the new Iphones come out (depening on my fincal situation of course). If I get their case and a glass protecter screen do you think that would be ok?
I thought you have also consumer law to protect you for 6 years
The problem is that Apple only offers a one year guarantee to its devices. My last phone (I had already sold) had massive problems with the mainboard (the phone did not drop or something, or had the problem while I was using it) . Apple just offered the Switch with 600 bucks cost, with Apple care this would just cost like 100. even an otterbox could not prevent you from intern failure. Just my 2 cents, I’m still not using Apple care due to my 3rd party insurance
That's a great point, and terrible that you went through that. Did the logic board fail after the one year warranty expired?
Craylor Made yeah the problem came up with no audio being played anymore, after that battery loading problems and finally restarts now and then. The phone was 1 year and 2 months old , I sold it to the new owner after nearly one year (due to my provider cycle) . I even checked for 3rd party parts, but ifixit only offers US logic boards...
Is it worth it on ipad pro, as things gonna get real expensive once it is damaged , mainly the display ? Thanks 🙏
Totally a personal choice! If you don't use a case, I would 100% get it on an iPad Pro. If you do use a case and don't tend to drop tablets, I wouldn't get it. But that's just me.
Thanks a lot . I don't think I will need ac+ as case will be used atleast for angling the ipad. ❤️ One more thing , that air pods trick works even today For ac+ ?
@@pulakpradhan5349 As far as I know, yes. I got AC+ on my AirPods Pro and I'm approaching one year of ownership. We'll see if they do a battery replacement for me right before the expiration at year two.
Cool 🆒
Does AppleCare+ take care of chips and scratches on the Apple Watch?
Technically, no, but many people report being able to get their watch replaced if it's got significant chips and scratches and they ask nicely. This is technically abusing the policy, but if all else fails, you could purposely drop the watch and crack it and file a damage claim to get it replaced.
Do i need Applecare+ for airpods pro?
Personally, I do see some added value in this scenario. I bought the $29 2 year plan for my AirPods Pro for 1 reason and 1 reason only: I can politely request a battery "replacement" (they replace the earbuds entirely) at 1 year and 11 months - this gets me a brand new battery and a new unit to last me another 2+ years. Since AirPods batteries are famous for wearing out around the 2 year mark, I personally think it's worth it for that alone.
Without Apple Care plus , all u can do is to buy a new one
At the same time I'm buying my phone outright to right off for my business spending 1100 on a phone without coverage and being at the mercy of them deciding to do anything seems more of a gamble.
That's totally understandable. I've had great success with the 1-year warranty, but the charging port on my iPhone Xs shorted out after less than 2 years. If I had AC+, it would have been replaced. I decided to get the iPhone 12 Pro Max, and that's obviously what they want people to do. So there's something to be said for extending the manufacturer warranty by another year, no matter how careful you are with the device.
👀 Can somebody answer my question?
Recently, my iPad got damaged and now has a cracked screen. I want to save as much money using Apple’s support service. (I would not like to use a 3rd party service to fix it). So on the Apple page, It says for my generation, an out-of-warrantee fee is $149. If I have AppleCare+, its $49.
I also searched up how much money it costs to buy AppleCare, which is about 15$ a month. Can I just pay 10$ for the monthly AppleCare+ service and then 49$ for the fix? Therefore, I can spend 59$ and not 149$. Im not very intelligent, so I need answers! Reply answers!
Hey there! Unless the iPad was purchased new less than 60 days ago, you will not be able to add AppleCare+. If you are still in that 60 day window, you could technically purchase AppleCare+ and do a damage claim right after, but Apple does ask that the device be free of physical damage before enrolling, so you would be going against their rules.
I would do the opposite. Phone is more risky to break. It can fall from your hand or pocket etc but a watch is stable on ur arm. Unless ur getting in fights or doing skateboard stunts there’s no reason you’d ever break ur watch.
That’s fair. A phone is also more expensive if it breaks.
U don’t need it on a watch
You made my day! Thanks!❤️❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨
If you buy an Apple laptop or desktop then it is mandatory you buy AppleCare! Why you ask. Well Apple products are not made that well and they are very finicky. Watch Louis Rossmans TH-cam channel and you will understand. He repairs these for a living and gives in depth looks at how Apple engineering is not always the best.
Is applecare+ on a macbook worth it?
As usual, it's a very personal choice. I just faced that decision a few months ago for my MacBook Pro and decided not to buy it. I got a case instead, which is a first for me for a MacBook. If you travel a lot (or anticipate traveling in the future) and want the peace of mind, it might be worth it to you.
Great points
Some very valid points made.
It’s more worth it on Macs
Dont waste ur money fools! All units are by CONSUMER LAW covered for about 5 years. I urge u to look inot this and dont pay these tight ass leeches!
A few considerations here. 1. Consumer law doesn’t cover physical damage and oopsies, and 2. while consumer laws do cover a “bricked” device due to a software issue, you aren’t guaranteed a fast replacement. With AppleCare+, you are treated like royalty.
@@Craylor Well if ur stupid enuf to blow ur load over ur keyboard so be it jerk! But as far as a software issue my 4 yo unit was repaired in 2 days FOR FREE!
Dont let this sukker fool u Folks. He works for CRapple!
Need Caffeine app installed on that mac to avoid screensaver. 😝
😂 😂 😂 Well out here we just need the gadget and a month guaranteed that's all
Interesting. Thanks for making this, I may want to get an iPhone and this is really helpful.
Thanks for watching! Glad it helped.
I've never broken a phone a phone ever, so I decided against getting Applecare on my new iPhone. I would say even if I do need a repair, it likely wouldn't be more than once in a 2+ years, in which case I'd rather just pay the out of warranty cost. The iPhone 12 is durable on its own anyway. I do have it on my MacBook, because I feel there's a lot more that could go wrong with it than a phone.
Dud you are on point thanks you save me money
Right on!
The first shall care
Yes and no....any insurance extend warranty accident theft coverage from any company is better than nothing on value of item for limited time or forever. Warning...applecare stores or best buy dont really fix tech or computers minor fixes and want you pay new tech or expensive replace or repair..first send to mfg. Or then DIY or specialist. Its gets cheaper repair as tech gets older three or more years older. Most warranty waste of time and money...but fragile small easily lost or damaged most uses worth it. Example...extended warranty worth it for used car but not new one because you are covered at least three years or more. Apple users think apple reps or carrier reps or technicians are special and gonna do good repair...answer most of time no legal ripoff scam artists...its better mfg to fix it or a specialist. Or else you can diy.
👍
You look like Gilfoyle
Duuuuuuuuude
I have an idea... I'm going to forgo the extra 169 apple care for my new iphone 12, and use the extra money to buy the Airpods + apple care for the battery. What do you think?
What do you mean by apple care for battery
@@upendra6916under apple care+ you can get your airpods fixed when they wear down
I just got an amazing deal at best buys open box on the 2020 iMac 27” desktop for 640$ apple care plus and all insurance for products are scams. To squeeze extra profits on peoples fears.
