Understanding Your Protection Options
When purchasing high-end hardware, accidental spills, cracked glass, or power surge damages are unpredictable risks. While Apple's standard 1-Year Limited Warranty covers defects in manufacturing, it specifically excludes accidental damage.
What AppleCare+ Covers
- Unlimited Incidents: Accidental damage protection with low, standardized excess fees.
- Express Replacement Service: Apple ships you a replacement device immediately while yours is in repair.
- Battery Service: Free battery replacement if capacity drops below 80% of its original specification.
