AppleCare plans offer extended device protection beyond standard warranty

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

AppleCare offers extended protection plans for a range of Apple devices, including iPhones, Macs, iPads, and accessories. While the standard one-year warranty covers defects, AppleCare addresses accidental damage, with costs varying by device and plan type. For instance, an iPhone 17 Pro with theft and loss protection costs $13.99 monthly, while AirPods Pro coverage is $1.99 per month. Despite service fees for certain repairs, the overall cost with AppleCare is often less than out-of-warranty repairs, and users can also consider third-party insurance options. AI
