It is not clear how long you can continue to extend AppleCare+ but a delve into the small print reveals a clause that says Apple has the option to cancel your plan, with 60 days’ notice, if it no longer has the necessary parts.Īpple says the recurring annual coverage must be purchased “within 30 days of the end date of your original coverage.” Once you’ve moved to annual billing, it will renew automatically, until you cancel it, or they can no longer support your computer.Ĭurrently, the only territory you can do this for Apple Mac computers is the US according to an Apple Support document.

Now Apple is giving some Mac customers the option to extend to AppleCare Plus beyond the usual three-year limit. Most claims will come with a $99 excess but for more damage (like water incidents) the excess goes up to $299.ĪppleCare+ also provides 24/7 priority access to Apple's technical support representatives by online chat or phone. Until recently, Apple Mac computers come with a one-year warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary technical support, which you can choose to extend to three years by purchasing AppleCare, and more recently AppleCare+, which adds up to two incidents of accidental damage each year.
However not all the changes are available in every territory. Apple has been making a number of changes to their AppleCare scheme, which is now called AppleCare+, which includes reducing the price, offering annual plans and offering Applecare beyond 3 years.
