If you bought an iPhone recently,?????? ?????? ????? ????? ????? Apple has some good news for you.
Bloomberg reported Monday that folks who buy Apple hardware will be able to buy the AppleCare+ warranty package at any point in the following year. The previous limit was 60 days, but the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting warranty demand, per Bloomberg, hence the change.
Mashable reached out to Apple for confirmation of this policy change and will update this story if it responds.
AppleCare+ doesn't have a fixed price, instead shifting up or down depending on the device you want to protect. For instance, pay $129 for AppleCare+ for an iPhone 7 or 8, and you can get your screen repaired for just $29. That warranty plan goes up to $200 for the newest iPhones. It should be noted that AppleCare+ is an extension of the default one-year warranty that applies to all Apple products, and lasts 24 months.
Whatever price you end up paying for your device, all that matters is that AppleCare+ is a little more freely available now. Try not to break your iPhone regardless, though.
