Monthly AppleCare+ (up to 24 mo.)

Having AppleCare is definitely a good thing to have. I used it on other Apple products I’ve had in the past and would recommend it when purchasing Apple products.

Great to know help is available when you need them.

I am a loyal Apple products user and I always buy AppleCare for my mac computers. Why? Because sometimes things go seriously wrong. The iMac and laptop AppleCare plans last three years, and I have had several computers which needed something done in that time which made the warranty worthwhile -- whether I needed phone support for a failure of some kind, or had a kernel panic which necessitated a new hard drive. The iPhone's AppleCare warranty only lasts two years. It does not seem as worthwhile to me as the computer version, for that reason. However, when something went wrong with my iPhone during the initial 12 months of purchase (the "normal" warranty period), I decided not to take any chances. I never regret buying AppleCare because I know things can go wrong and when they do, they can cost a bundle.

Apple Care provides a level of reassurance that's hard to beat for anyone invested in the Apple ecosystem. While it's not the cheapest warranty option, it comes with several advantages. 1. Extended Warranty: Apple Care extends the warranty on your Apple product, usually for an additional two years beyond the standard one-year warranty. This means you're covered for any unexpected hardware issues that may arise during that time. 2. Technical Support: One of the standout features is access to Apple's excellent technical support. Whether you need help with software issues, troubleshooting, or general guidance, Apple's customer service is known for being responsive and helpful. 3. Accidental Damage Coverage: Depending on your Apple Care plan, you may also get coverage for accidental damage, which can be a lifesaver if you're prone to dropping your devices. 4. Convenience: Apple Care is tightly integrated with your Apple products, making it easy to get assistance. You can visit an Apple Store, call their support line, or even use online chat for quick help. 5. Transferrable: If you sell your Apple product before the Apple Care coverage expires, you can often transfer the plan to the new owner, which can make your device more appealing to buyers.

Having Apple Care is a no brainer I have used in the past for other Apple devices and you will be remise if you did not obtain this so needed protection. You can now have the option of taking your mac product down to Best Buy instead of going to Apple.
