is this the applecare plus protection?

It is the extended care for you Apple project; in addition it allows you to call and get phone support beyond the normal warranty. Once you get this plan you have to go online to activate, if is not bought through Apple you will have to go through additional steps.

It is not, I was informed by Apple that the only place you can buy AppleCare plus is from the actual store.

It is a KNOCK-OFF. The product I received does not have any Apple markings, and the invoice explicitly says "best alternative to higher priced Apple Smart Cover."

Thanks so much for the tip! I also answered my own question by searching Amazon, and found that Amazon sells Applecare as well, at a much lower price than buying direct from Apple.

Apple care is just that..., Apple care and if you have a problem then call the Apple Care line and a tech will help you..., it doesn't matter what model iMac you have..., it simply a protection plan/warranty and that applies to the product you bought it for..., that's the experience I had with the extended warranty.., that's all Apple Care is..., an extended warranty.

Accidental damage is usually dependent on the what and how of the damage and the discretion of the Apple store Genius. The free part of AppleCare vs the paid extended care is as described with the product. The main concerns one typically have are infant mortality of the electronics and the how does this work questions. Hope this is some assistance.

It is eligible for apple care until next march. It was only released earlier this year.

Yes it is. I bought one from the Apple Store at full retail and then bought this one through Amazon at half price and they are the same thing.

Your apple care protection should start once you register it. I forget if starts after you limited warranty runs out. Either way I've found the extended warranty to be worth it because your other warranty is truly only limited. The apple care plan covers just about everything including replacement equipment, parts, or most of time damaged goods. The only thing is that it has to be bought within your limited warranty time frame.

It does not. Apple does offer a REALLY good plan called AppleCare. I like the style of the case, but let them protect it.

Yes it should cover it, but I would check with apple about getting the AppleCare a year after...

I have AppleCare from Amazon that is the exact same warranty you will end up buying at the Apple store. To my knowledge Apple is pretty strict with their products they would never allow AppleCare to be something that is not their own. Sorry for the late reply.

Yes if the former owner had AppleCare or another warranty that's currently in effect ... It's an older unit so it may have run out even if they had one initially . Mine runs out in April 2015. Good Luck!

Yes. And be aware that Apple requires its employees and independent retailers to sell a certain percentage of AppleCare plans with each computer. This means that some retailers (sometimes including Amazon) will discount AppleCare to get their percentage up. That makes it a better deal than buying it at the AppleStore. You are not required to buy your Apple product and AppleCare from the same place.

I'm sure it has a 1 yr warranty and applecare for 90 days I think. Applecare is good to work with. they don't treat you like an idiot, listen to you and are very patient.

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.

Yes, it is an Apple product, but is NOT in the original Apple packaging. I was a bit surprised by that.

AppleCare is only valid if you activate within 1 year after initial purchase. Otherwise it's useless.
