How to add an AppleCare plan to iPhone, iPad, and Mac?

How to add an AppleCare plan to iPhone, iPad, and Mac? When you first purchased your Apple device from the Apple Store, an Apple specialist may have asked if you wanted to purchase an Apple Care+ Plan or AppleCare Protection Plan to cover it.

Don’t worry if you initially declined but then decided you wanted the coverage, or if you did not purchase your Apple gadget straight from Apple. You may still purchase AppleCare+ for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac after your initial purchase if you are qualified.

Here is the method to add an AppleCare plan to iPhone, iPad, and Mac:

1. Go to General Settings.
2. Choose About.
3. Select AppleCare+ Coverage Is Available.
4. To add coverage and choose from the various plans, follow the onscreen instructions.

If you have already purchased your device and want to add AppleCare coverage later, you can do so on your Mac by performing the following:

1. Navigate to the Apple menu and select About This Mac.
2. Click the Support tab and then the Details button. You’ll be taken to mysupport.apple.com.

Make an appointment at any Apple store near you using getsupport.apple.com or the Apple Support app. Bring your iPhone or iPad, as well as proof of purchase, to your booked appointment. Before purchasing AppleCare+, an Apple specialist will visually inspect your iPhone.

Method #5. Over the phone call to add an AppleCare plan to iPhone

You only need to call 800.275.2273 (800.APL.CARE) and order one. Prepare to perform a remote diagnostic and keep your proof of purchase handy in case the phone agent requests it.

How to check your Apple device warranty status?

If you are unsure about your device’s warranty coverage, simply check the warranty status. This will show you the status of your device’s warranty when it will expire, and if it has already expired.

We’ve already covered how to check the warranty status of your iPhone, so I’ll just go through how to do it for your Mac.

On your MacBook:

1. Navigate to the Apple menu.
2. Click About This Mac -> Support.
3. You’ll be able to see if you’re still covered by Apple’s Limited Warranty when it will expire and if it has already expired.

Here’s another way to check the status of your Apple device’s warranty. However, you must provide your serial number during this process. [If you don’t have the serial number, proceed to the next step.]

1. Go to checkcoverage.apple.com in your browser.
2. Please enter your serial number.
3. Examine your service and support options. You will also be able to determine whether you are eligible for an AppleCare product.

Sign in with your Apple ID if you don’t have your serial number with you:

1. Launch your browser and navigate to mysupport.apple.com.
2. Sign in with your Apple ID, or use Touch ID or Face ID.
3. Choose your device.
4. You can see what coverage you qualify for here, including technical and hardware support.
