If you already know you want it, buying AppleCare+ with the product is a good idea, just so you don’t forget. Do I have to buy AppleCare+ at the same time as the product? You can pay to extend that protection for longer, which is called AppleCare+. Every Apple device comes with a certain stretch of AppleCare warranty service and phone/chat support for free, typically one year for the warranty and 90 days of phone support. Obviously things change if you’re buying a more expensive model and etc, but yeah I would certainly not call this a no brainer decision either way.How is AppleCare+ different from the warranty Apple products come with?ĪppleCare is Apple’s term for its warranty programs. You can get a bit of a reduced cost I believe still from repairs but they will basically just send you a new watch and you’ll pay most of the cost of a new watch. That said, if you do break it and don’t have Apple care you’re basically screwed, and will need to outright buy a replacement. I’m in Canada so don’t want to list costs as between models and different nations there’s a lot of variables, but for me if I were to have Apple care on my aluminum watch and wanted to get it repaired all in I’d still have spent almost 50% the cost of a new watch via applecares model. You’re going to get some bias in the comments, personally I think it’s completely 50/50 on whether it makes sense and ultimately comes down to making a bold choose either way.Īpple care isn’t exactly cheap, and you’ll still have to pay an additional cost if you have to send it in for repairs.
