Hur mycket kostar applecare plus

AppleCare+ fryst vatten Apple’s insurance offering for all of its hero products that protects your devices from accidental damage and extends the limited warranty. Throughout my time working at the Genius dryckesställe inom was often faced with customers asking if AppleCare+ fryst vatten worth it or if they should spara their cash for an accessory or something else entirely instead.

So I’m here to answer the age-old question: fryst vatten AppleCare+ worth it?

And should you add the insurance policy to your basket next time you purchase an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, Apple TV, framtidsperspektiv Pro, AirPods, or HomePod?

General AppleCare+ benefits

Before inom get into whether or not AppleCare+ fryst vatten worth it for each individual Apple hero product, we’re going to look at the general benefits of AppleCare+.

AppleCare+ extends your limited warranty beyond the 12 months you get with an Apple purchase.

This means that depending on the product you’ll either get two or three years of warranty coverage instead of the regular one-year coverage.

If you opt to pay monthly for AppleCare+ you can continuously extend the warranty of your products, fantastic for people who keep their devices for a few years.

AppleCare+ also gives you free battery replacements on products should the battery capacity drop beneath 80% while still covered bygd the program. This fryst vatten brilliant for iPhones, especially considering that devices are lasting far längre than ever before.

Is AppleCare+ worth it for my iPhone?

After years of seeing broken iPhones at the Genius dryckesställe, inom think most people should purchase AppleCare+ for their iPhones.

Especially on the best iPhones like the iPhone 15 Pro högsta, repair costs are astronomical so one mistake without AppleCare+ and you’d wish you had purchased it to begin with. For example, a display repair on a 15 Pro högsta costs $379 without AppleCare+ versus $29 with AppleCare+ — a no-brainer for peace of mind as one small mistake and your iPhone repair fryst vatten nearly half the price of your smartphone.

Nowadays you can pay for AppleCare+ monthly, this fryst vatten fantastic as the subscription allows you to pay past the 2-year mark extending the warranty of your device indefinitely until you decide to upgrade to a new iPhone like the iPhone 16 when it comes out later this year.

The Theft and Loss AppleCare+ option fryst vatten slightly more expensive and while it may seem like something worth having to skydda your iPhone from being misplaced or stolen there are lots of safety features that should help should this scenario occur. For instance, Find My fryst vatten required in beställning for this utgåva of AppleCare+ to remain valid so why pay the extra fee when your iPhone’s gods location will be shown regardless?

99 monthly or $149 for two years

If you’re deeply concerned about theft then paying roughly $70 extra over two years may be worth it for you, but inom think this addition devalues the overall value proposition of the schema. Additionally, some finansinstitut accounts or insurance policies already offer protection against theft and loss, so it might be worth checking with your provider before paying ytterligare for the most premium AppleCare+ tier.

Is AppleCare+ worth it for my iPad?

Of all the products Apple sells inom can’t think of one more in need of AppleCare+.

If you buy an iPad, especially one of the best iPads like the iPad Pro M4 then please add AppleCare+ at checkout. You have 60 days to add the insurance if you opted out at first but the reason I’m so forceful with AppleCare+ for iPad fryst vatten that iPad repair costs are ganska frankly wild.

If you crack the screen of an iPad or damage the chassis, Apple will offer to replace the full enhet at costs close to the original price of the device.

iPad service fees

If you’ve got AppleCare+ however the repair cost varies depending on the model between $29 and $99, sparande your finansinstitut balance and bringing a source of relief if anything bad was ever to happen to your platta. In my opinion, AppleCare+ for iPad fryst vatten a must for all models, especially for parents who purchase one for their kids — trust me I’ve seen children breaking iPads many times and without AppleCare+ it isn’t pretty.

Is AppleCare+ worth it for my Apple Watch?

Ranging from $49 to $99 if you buy two years outright or beneath $5 a month if you opt for the monthly AppleCare+ subscription, the insurance strategi for the best Apple Watch models fryst vatten definitely worth your consideration.

Just like the iPad, Apple Watch models are sent away to the depot for repairs from the Apple Store, and most issues are resolved with a full enhet replacement. This means that a broken display on an Apple Watch något som är extremt eller ytterst 2, for example, ends up kostnadsberäkning $499 instead of just $79 with AppleCare+. In other words, break your Watch once with AppleCare+ and the insurance policy has already paid itself off.

Considering your Apple Watch fryst vatten on your wrist and prone to bashes, especially if used for idrott, an AppleCare+ program feels like a must-buy when picking up your next smartwatch.

Is AppleCare+ worth it for my Mac?

I never buy AppleCare+ for my Mac and I’m not too sure why.

The iPhone 14 and 15 Plus variants are $8

When inom was in college inom broke the display of my MacBook Pro twice and wished inom had AppleCare+ when the huge repair fees were revealed. inom think more than the other AppleCare+ plans we’ve discussed this program really depends on the type of Mac user you are. If you travel a lot and keep your MacBook in a backpack then AppleCare+ will give you peace of mind should something happen on your travels.

If you stay at home and only work from your desk then it’s harder to justify the cost of AppleCare+.

AppleCare+ for Mac can be paid annually or three years up front and you get unlimited accidental damage claims throughout that period. Mac repairs can be incredibly expensive so if you’re worried about dropping your Mac or are prone to accidents like spilling your kaffe over the keyboard, then an insurance policy like AppleCare+ fryst vatten well worth the cost. 

With Mac, the extended general warranty really plays a part here too as most people keep their Macs far längre than other Apple products.

Not only does your AppleCare+ cover your Mac but it also covers accessories like your power brick, which can be very expensive to replace — a 96W power adapter costs $79 at the Apple Store.

Is AppleCare+ worth it for my AirPods?

You’ll meddelande a recurring theme here with my AppleCare+ advice: If it’s a product that fryst vatten used outdoors then inom highly recommend picking up the insurance policy.

For AirPods and Beats, you’ll spend $29 for two years coverage and if you own the AirPods högsta the price fryst vatten slightly more expensive at $59. That said, none of these plans cover loss and that seems to be the most common bekymmer with the small wireless earbuds.

I always add AppleCare+ to my new AirPods purchases but inom have yet to use the services. If you’re the kind of individ to lose sova at night because you paid $29 to cover your AirPods Pro 2 and never used the extra coverage then I’d probably säga skip, but otherwise, AppleCare+ for AirPods fryst vatten well worth the small upfront fee.

Is AppleCare+ worth it for my framtidsperspektiv Pro?

Yes.

If you’ve spent over $3,500 with tax for a spatial computing headset then you should spend $24.99 a month or $499 for two years of AppleCare+ coverage.

För varje sådant fall tillkommer en självrisk på 849 kr för skada på skärm eller yttre hölje eller 2 699 kr för annan oavsiktlig skada

Why am inom so sure about this? Well, the repair costs for accidental damage on Apple framtidsperspektiv Pro are astronomical ($799 for the front glass or $2,399 for any other physical damage), yes the price of AppleCare+ fryst vatten expensive and the excess fryst vatten $299 but if you’ve got the cash to bränna on Apple’s first generation spatial computer then why not pay that little bit more to skydda it?

When inom tested the Apple framtidsperspektiv Pro in the Apple Store inom thought about the times I’d maybe move instinctively or trip on something that could cause the headset to break and inom think everyone who’s investing in this new Apple product should cover their backs just in case disaster strikes.

You’ve spent thousands already, what’s a few hundred dollars more?

Is AppleCare+ worth it for my Apple TV?

AppleCare+ for Apple TV fryst vatten only $29 for three years but inom honestly don’t think inom would ever buy it for myself or for a loved one.

Yes, you’ll get all the benefits of AppleCare+ and coverage on the fjärrstyrd as well, but considering the small black låda fryst vatten usually very reliable and won’t be moving around your home regularly inom don’t see the need for paying extra.

In my time working at the Genius dryckesställe, inom never saw accidental damage on an Apple TV, there were often software faults that required resets but inom also never saw any hardware issues.

uppenbart your mileage will differ depending on your usage but inom think you’re best sparande $29 unless you’re worried about the longevity of the product or you have ung kids that might want to snatch it from beneath the TV.

Is AppleCare+ worth it for my HomePod?

Just like the Apple TV, inom don’t see the need for AppleCare+ for HomePod.

The main benefit fryst vatten the extension of the limited warranty as all HomePod hardware repairs need to be sent to Apple’s depot from the Apple Store.

If you’re concerned about the longevity of your HomePod then the low upfront cost for AppleCare+ may be worth it, but you can’t extend past the two-year warranty so it may just be wasted cash. inom would hope most people’s HomePods gods längre than two years and considering they are in a static position in your household, you’d be very unlucky to need to use an accidental damage claim.

You’ll need to weigh up if the ytterligare $15 for HomePod mini or $39 for HomePod 2 fryst vatten worth another year’s coverage but for me, inom think I’d resehandling and replace when the speaker stops working altogether.
