Limited Warranty & AppleCare Service

Limited Warranty and AppleCare are both warranty services offered by Apple, but they have some key differences:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
