Here are screenshots of the iPhone-specific AppleCare Plus description now:Īpple has tossed in a few other benefits to the plan, too.
In some cases, AppleCare Plus coverage for products like Macs and the Pro Display XDR was listed as simply “two incidents of accidental damage coverage,” with no time window other than the general three-year extension the warranty provides those pricier products, whereas now the website clarifies it is every 12 months for the duration of the coverage. You can see the changes applied at the new AppleCare Plus website here, and the older version of the website as it existed a few days ago here. It appears this is the case not just for the iPhone but for all other AppleCare Plus-eligible products, which include AirPods, Apple TV, Apple Watch, Beats headphones, HomePod, iPad, iPod Touch, Mac, and Pro Display XDR. The prior window for those two incidents of coverage was 24 months (or 36 months for certain products like Macs). That’s a total of four fixes over the standard two years of coverage. The changes, spotted first yesterday by MacRumors in the wake of Apple’s “Time Flies” hardware reveal, mean AppleCare Plus owners are now covered for two cases of accidental damage coverage every 12 months. Apple’s warranty program, AppleCare Plus, just saw a significant expansion in its coverage with an added annual repair for accidental damage.
