What is the difference between AppleCare and AppleCare+?

Asked a year ago
The main difference between AppleCare and AppleCare+ lies in the additional coverage offered by AppleCare+. While AppleCare provides standard warranty coverage for defects and hardware repairs, AppleCare+ provides an extended level of protection for iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches. With AppleCare+, you receive the same coverage as AppleCare, including 24/7 technical support and repair coverage for eligible hardware repairs. However, AppleCare+ also covers up to two incidents of accidental damage, such as a cracked screen, with a service fee. AppleCare+ also extends the coverage period to two years. This added protection ensures that users have comprehensive coverage for both hardware issues and accidental damage, providing peace of mind and an extra layer of security for their Apple devices.
