Recently brought one iPhone, under the setting it mention something about Add Apple Care + Coverage, therefore I some searching online, it like a insurance to cover the phone from damage, etc.

Wondering any iPhone user here purchased and claimed this Apple Care + before, could you all share your experience on this matter.

As I am thinking whether is it worth to get this protection or not, look forward to you all reply, thanks.

Parking for future reference.

Is it most of the user no purchase Apple care +, therefore no comment. Just want to know. Thanks

always buy but no use before. Iphone so far so good. no problem. god bless.

next time change phone consider not buying..

Yes, I don't purchase because it is quite expensive. If you want extra 1 year warranty then buy the phone from Senheng. Senheng member get extra 1 year warranty for free.

It's not just adding the warranty period, apple care+ also act like the insurance for accidental damage. Normal warranty doesn't cover accidental damage e.g crack screen so you need to pay full price to change or replace cracked screen/back cover. With apple care+ need to pay only few hundreds (RM 139 for screen/back cover damage) and (RM 469 for other accidental damage for example motherboard faulty etc). Screen damage replacement alone would cost you more than 2k without apple care+ if you're using pro version of the iphone.

So up to you to justify whether it's worth it or not. For me I always pay for it just for the peace of mind but never claimed it as my phone never need it.

A bit easier to sell in the future if your iPhone has warranty left; but you’d still lose money, just not as much as out of warranty iPhone. My own experience of selling my stuff.

I buy a proper All Risk Insurance through Insurance company for my gadgets, so much cheaper. However the coverage is only for physical damage.

now senheng gives 2yrs warranty. but didn't cover accidental damages / water damages

never have any problems when come to claim Apple Warranty.

AppleCare+ cover every damage on your iPhone, and unlimited claim within the 2 years period.

Quite worth it, but please don't abuse it.

Why was motherboard faulty is treated as accidental damage? It's not like it's user fault isn't it.

it cover both product warranty and user accidental damage.

last time my bad wash my airpod pro, then koyak after awhile even i dry it using hair dryer, apple change a new one for me. LoL

why it lead to QR code? suspicious. anyway, no need 3rd party protection lah. just use applecare+ will do. why so hassle.

ooo can only access via mobile.

i think this is like insurance policy, its underwritten by pacific insurance

then tak payah lah. later don't know find who to make claim.

worth it for iPAD. full coverage 1-1 replacement. 2 weeks ready pickup.

my iPAD bend, curving too much. screen almost pop out.

replace with no question.

Which mean for heavy duty user, then may worth it for purchase Apple care+, I just thinking the battery estimate need to be change once every 2 years, if i not mistaken, change the battery itself already similar to the Apple care+ price.

I still considering whether to purchase it or not.

the express replacement service makes it worth it in my opinion.....

what is the price to change let say iphone 15 pro max battery?

From the link https://support.apple.com/en-my/iphone/repa...0a%20fee.%20Our
It mention estimated RM449.

Changing battery still cheaper than getting Apple Care. Also usually there isn't a need to change battery for the first 2 years.
Think of Apple Care like insurance, it's good to have but you may or may not need it.

You are correct, is like a insurance, that provide you the coverage without any question asked, actually I known some of the youtuber which purchase Apple care+ and then test their iphone on any drop test or any accidental damage test, then return to Apple to get another unit (the existing unit is total loss), one of my friend also using this method to get a new iphone just before the coverage expired.

Apple Care+ even cover self break too?

Accidental damage is considered self break too, but obviously if you tell them it was intentional and not accident then they won't cover. But who will actually tell that, and they can't prove it either

My friend in SG also doing that. Oopss nearing AppleCare expiry. Break back glass, shattered. Get replacement (it seems to be refurbished set, checking the model serial). But still new phone and new 100% battery.

For Malaysia, so basically paying Rm139 (glass break) + RM899 Apple Care for newish phone on year 2.

battery health need to be below 80% to qualify which is harder. break glass is "cheapest". Other accidental is RM469.

Meaning purposely make the screen broken and claim a new unit? I was thinking only total loss situation than only Apple will change a new refurbish unit.

It’s not new… it’s from refurbished stockpile which can check model name.

But battery health 100% and condition externally is pristine.

Worth it or not? You decide.

With Apple refurbished there is nothing to worry. Genuine parts as compared to refurb set from other reseller outside.
