AppleCare +

Apple's warranty for all its devices is limited to one year against manufacturing defects, including 90 days of free technical support by phone, this is called the AppleCare warranty. If you want to extend the warranty period for a longer period, not only against manufacturing defects, but with full support for your device, you must purchase an additional package called AppleCare +, where the warranty period for Apple devices is extended up to two years from the date of original purchase of the device.

● Through direct mail: Apple will send you a box and a charging card to send the device to it, then when the maintenance is finished, the device will be shipped to you, but you have to pay the fees in both cases.

● On-site service: If you have a problem with your Mac, Apple will send you a service technician to check your device and repair it in place.

Will I be left without a device until my device is repaired?

Apple also needs the device's serial number and the information of the new owner, and you will find full details in the terms and conditions for transferring AppleCare + service.

Does AppleCare + cover loss and theft?

No. The AppleCare + warranty covers only manufacturing-related or occasional defects, but other companies do cover this, such as insurance companies or some shipping companies.
