Is the warranty the same thing as Apple Care?

you can purchase Apple Care on your item just like a new item. The warranty on this is 1 year just as a new iPad would be.

... if you buy your Apple from Best Buy their warranty (about $30 higher than Apple Care) covers dead pixels and all damage to the outside ... power surges, heat damage, etc. The salesman @ BB was going to work for Apple the next day and gave me this hint about BB's warranty (in home also) extended coverage over Apple Care.

If the computer, or Apple product, is a "current" model that is being offered by Apple, then Yes. All items come with 90 support and one year warranty on the parts and labor. Depending on the cost of the item, you might want to think about purchasing an extended warranty. You could buy either AppleCare (more expensive) or a third party warranty. Usually an electronic device will fail within the first 48 hours of continual use.

Yes. All Apple products are expensive. I highly recommend AppleCare to any customer. Apple's Customer Service does not answer any questions about your product unless you have A C. Otherwise, they will direct you to their website so you can resolve your own issue through "reading". These products are costly and are not easily replaceable so having "insurance" is to your advantage.

I'm not sure about that, if the manufacturer's warranty is still valid then the computer will have that. In addition apple care or any other coverage is transferable to your name

It depends in the seller. If you contact Apple Inc., ask about their Apple Care warranty program, they maybe able to determine if your device is eligible for warranty coverage.

Absolutely, this plan just extends your warranty. Just make sure you register this AppleCare plan before your 1-year warranty expires. The guys in any Apple Store will give you a hand.

I just purchased a MB Air 13 two weeks go. I was told I have one year to purchase Apple care. It is on their website too.

Yes, I believe the apple gives the 1 year warranty. But you can still purchase the apple care warranty to have it extended for 3 years total.

It comes with Apple's standard 90 day telephone tech support after purchase and 1 year limited warranty. Since you're not buying from Apple directly, you can't sign up for AppleCare Protection Plan and AppleCare+ to extend service coverage.

I have 2 (2011 and 2013) with 1 year, did no purchase of Apple Care. Never had any problem with them. Werner

It does state on the page that this item comes with AppleCare through 2016, but I didn't receive an AppleCare Plan with mine. I contacted Amazon via email and they told me it came with the standard warranty provided by Apple, and that you could purchase the Protection Plan to extend the coverage. This didn't help me as the extra coverage was why I purchased this particular model. Amazon was able to contact me over the phone, and after I explained the situation a super helpful guy named Jevon was able to partially refund my order.

I year manufacturers and you buy extended warranty (Apple Care); probably on the Amazon site for a little than Apple would charge.

Apple Care is only included if the selling has it on the iMac, Mine that I will be selling has it

As far as I know the warranty covers what product you brought under the warranty. If it was a APPLE IMAC then it's covered.

I also just recently checked the reviews in anticipation of upgrading my 5S iPhone that is currently covered by a Square Trade warranty, and was very disappointed. Fortunately, I have not had to use the warranty on my existing phone, so I can't verify that Square Trade is not living up to their end of the deal as indicated by multiple reviewers. The only other option (other than a pricey service provider warranty), and something you might like to investigate for comparison and peace of mind purposes is Apple Care's plan. I am including a comparison link: &lt;http://www.appledystopia.com/reviews/applecare-vs-squaretrade-page-1&gt; Good luck!

Apple gives you a warranty for the device when you buy it. Applecare is an extension of the warranty. If your ipad has a 1 year warranty, the Applecare warranty will extend it. Things can change, so read the warranty you got with the ipad, then read the recent Applecare warranty so that you know what you are getting. When I had the 1 year Applecare extension, I was happy with it.
