In our increasingly technological world, cell phones and computers are everywhere. We rely so much more on computers and technology than we ever had to before. That’s why it’s important to make sure your devices are in working order, although that’s not always entirely possible. In fact, 30% of cell phone owners will damage their phone within the next 12 months, and 10% of cell phone users are currently using a phone with a cracked or otherwise damaged screen. If you want to keep your device as protected as possible and avoid a cell phone or laptop repair, you should consider signing up for an extended service care plan for your smartphone, such as AppleCare+.
Although all Apple products come with a warranty, it’s not too reassuring — it’s a one-year limited hardware warranty, which means that it doesn’t cover any accidental damage like water damage or a cracked screen. It’s very rare that your Apple product’s hardware would be damaged before you got it, but it’s not impossible. Even so, the main purpose of the one-year limited hardware warranty is that it creates the illusion of protection and peace of mind for Apple users.
AppleCare+ offers the most protection, even after your warranty expires. You have up to 60 days to purchase an AppleCare+ plan after you buy your device, and it’s good for up to two years from the date the device was purchased. Without AppleCare+, users get the one-year limited hardware warranty and 90 days of complimentary support through phone or chat, but that isn’t always sufficient.
Apart from extended phone support, users are covered to receive an iPhone repair for two incidents of accidental damage with AppleCare+. This means that if you accidentally jump into a pool with your phone in your pocket — or drop it — you’ll have several service options available for a highly discounted rate.
Laptop repair, cell phone repair, and general IT services and computer repair are never fun to have to deal with. An AppleCare+ plan can save you some serious time, money and frustration if something goes wrong with your device. You can rest assured that having AppleCare+ make you a top service priority in the eyes of Apple. The low monthly fee is a small price to pay for the extra reassurance. If you have any questions regarding AppleCare+, visit your local Apple retail store or an authorized reseller.
