    iPad Pro Will AppleCare+ Cover Burn In?

    Has anyone gotten any word on whether or not AppleCare+ will cover burn in? If so, it’s certainly with the cost! Is anyone insuring 3rd party?

    Resolved MacBook Pro display bottom peeling? Additional advice?

    Hello all. I got one of the new M3 Pro MacBook Pros recently and less than a month after purchase, the bottom patch connecting the display to the main body seems to have detached itself. Unfortunately, this is after the two week refund period, but I did already pay for AppleCare in advance. I’ve...

    2020 M1 MacBook Air - My Weird Repair Story

    The evening of Feb. 20th, 2024 wasn't unusual. I sat in bed eating a sesame seed bagel while watching Law & Order (OG; season 6, Briscoe & Curtis) on my 2020 M1 MacBook Air (8GB/512/Silver/twist-of-lemon/sweet-n-low). Avid multitasker and glutton for punishment that I am, I was simultaneously...

    Hi there everyone, I have a 2020 Macbook Air that I've had since June 2022. I bought the 3 year AppleCare+ warranty on it and everything has been great. I have had the screen replaced once already after I went to use it one day and it was broken (still not sure to this day what happened). Last...

    MP 7,1 AppleCare+

    So, after 3 years of Apple Care, I get an offer to purchase AppleCare+. I successfully purchased AppleCare+ for the Mac Pro (2019) and XDR Display. This was not easy. I ran into an initial error message followed by Apple Reps saying the XDR Display did not qualify. In addition, I ran into...

    Macbook Pro (M1 Pro, 14" Late 2021) Battery Drain

    Hello! Just curious, but does anyone know why my Macbook Pro might be draining faster than usual? I have the 14" late 2021 model with 16gb of ram, 512 gb of storage, 8 cores, and AppleCare. I got it new last September, and in the last few weeks, I have noticed that it is draining much faster...

    iPhone 15 Pro Got AppleCare+ for the first time. Should I bother using a case?

    I bought a new iPhone 15 Pro and the guy at the store suggested I get AppleCare+, so I did since I learned it can be paid monthly. From what it sounds like, if any physical damage happens to the phone, I can get it fixed or replaced. With that, is it worth using a case at all? Seems like I can...

    Repair Turnaround: Suspiciously Fast?

    I sent my MBA M2 in for a covered repair, and they completed it same-day within hours of it arriving. It arrived there at about 4am and was marked completed by 2pm. Based on the symptoms, at minimum they would have had to replace the display, and possibly the M2 chip itself if the graphics...

    iPhone 12 Pro Max Will Applecare cover this?

    I have a IPhone 12 promax that I’ve continually paid for AppleCare+. I work with resin and accidently got resin in the volume rocker. It is now non-functional. Only way to adjust the volume is through software. I would love to pay the $99 and get the phone replaced. Does this kind of damage...

    Apple repair could potentially take 4 months and there's nothing you can do about it?

    I went to an Apple service center today because my "still-within AppleCare" MBP has a weird spot on the screen. They said they'll fix it for free BUT they also have to fix any other issue they find with the machine, so likely a swollen battery, which means the entire top case, which means the...

    Other AppleCare - Is it worth it?

    Curious what everyone's experiences has been with AppleCare. I've always bought them, but very rarely used them. It's starting to feel a bit unnecessary, considering how durable these phones are becoming. Not to mention most people use cases anyway. Have you benefited from AppleCare? Have...
