An overview of Apple's AppleCare+ subscription and extended warranty model, detailing device coverage terms, battery replacement thresholds, theft protection tiers, and multi-device bundling options.
This service covers accidental damage to screens, exterior casings and internal components, and provides 24/7 priority technical support. Benefits include free battery replacement if its capacity drops below eighty percent, as well as theft and loss protection for select devices such as iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, with the option to replace up to twice a year for a fee.
Without the additional coverage, repairs for devices like the iPhone Duo can cost up to $1,500, with repairs to the internal screen costing $999. The subscription service significantly reduces these costs. In mid-2026, Apple increased prices for devices and coverage service, following updates to Macs, iPads, and iPhones.
How and when can you obtain coverage?
Customers can purchase coverage at the time of device payment or within sixty days of purchase, while in eligible countries they can renew expired plans within forty-five days.
