If you’ve invested in AppleCare+ for your Apple device and the policy runs out, you now have more time to extend it. According to an Apple support document, customers now have 45 days to extend an AppleCare+ policy. Previously, Apple granted 30 days. The policy change seems to have gone into effect on August 14, when the support document was updated.
An AppleCare+ policy can be extended for 24 or 36 months and paid monthly or annually. The price varies, depending on the device. Users can check their device coverage by logging into mysupport.apple.com with an Apple Account and then clicking on a product in the My Devices section.
According to the support document, the 45-day window is available in the U.K., U.S., Canada, Australia, and several other countries. However, in China, the window remains at 30 days.
AppleCare+ is Apple’s extended warranty program. All Apple hardware includes an AppleCare (without the “+”) warranty that usually lasts a year, with 90 days of phone support. AppleCare+ is available at the time of purchase or can be bought 60 days afterward.
We have a guide that explains everything you need to know about AppleCare+ if you need more information.
