Limited Warranty & AppleCare Service
Limited Warranty and AppleCare are both warranty services offered by Apple, but they have some key differences:
- Coverage for Accidental Damage:
- Limited Warranty: Typically covers defects in materials and workmanship but does not include protection against accidental damage like drops or spills.
- AppleCare: Includes coverage for accidental damage, allowing you to get your device repaired or replaced for an incident fee in case of accidents.
- Warranty Period:
- Limited Warranty: Is the standard warranty included with all new Apple Devices.
- AppleCare: Covers the device as long as it is enrolled in the AppleCare program.
- Cost for Repairs and Replacements:
- Limited Warranty: Without AppleCare, you may need to pay for repairs and replacements if there are signs of abuse or neglect.
- AppleCare: If physical damage is present AppleCare offers lower repair or replacement costs.
