Apple Care+ for iPhone 5S & Apple Care Protection plan for MacBook
Hello,
I have a question regarding the apple care+ for iPhone and the Apple Care Protection plan for MacBook pro.
Since I will soon be in Hong Kong, I intend to buy the iPhone 5S due to great savings compared to my come country.
However, I have a question regarding the warranty which confuses me a bit.
1) If I buy the iPhone 5S and the Apple care+, does that mean I will be covered world wide?
I am from Denmark, and the applecare is currently not available from the Danish apple store. but does this imply that I will not be covered when I am in Denmark, in case of an incident?
If not, what can one do? Should one ship it to an apple repair somewhere in a European country that is covered by the Applecare protection plan for iPhone?
2) And the same question goes for the AppleCare Protection Plan for MacBook - will a MacBook with the protection plan bought from Hong Kong, and imported to Denmark, be covered world wide, or what limitations does it have?
I was trying to look through the terms and conditions on the Hong Kong website, however, it does seem rather intransparent some times.
3) Finally, I have a question about purchasing Apple equipment from the physical Apple store in Hong Kong. As I am a student, I would of course like to have the student prices - should there be any problems getting this price from the physical apple store, or can one only get it from online purchases? Is a valid student ID sufficient proof of student status?
Regards,
Michael
Start here:
Apple - Support - AppleCare+ - iPhone
Apple - Support - AppleCare
From each of those sites you should be able to discover what if any differences may prevail depending upon the country of purchase.
Apple's warranties may not be honored outside of the country where the equipment was purchased. I have no way of knowing whether hardware purchased in Hong Kong will have a warranty honored in Denmark.
If you have a valid student ID then the academic discount should be honored in the Hong Kong Apple Store.

Can I purchase the "old" Apple Care Protection Plan for the iPhone 5S?
Hi community,
I have an iPhone 5S since day one of launch (september 20th 2013) and I want to purchase an Apple Care Protection Plan for it.
As I remember it's possible to purchase it as long as the 1-year-warranty is running, so my time is limited :-)
It seems as if the "old" Protection Plan doesn't exist anymore, there's only AppleCare+ for purchase.
My problem is that AppleCare+ can only be purchased 30 days after the purchase of a new iPhone.
Am I still able to get the "old" Protection Plan with the same conditions or is there no chance?
Thanx-a-lot in advance!Call Apple care in your country they should advise you if you can purchase as you seem to have fallen between the two Plans if AppleCare+ was announced in your Country after the date you purchased your iPhone 5S

Why no Apple Protection Plan for iPhone outside the US??
The Apple Care Protection Plan for iPhone has been available for a while in the U.S, but it's still unavailable in other countries where the iPhone is sold.
Even if in countries where the iPhone V1 has been available since November 2007, like UK, France, Germany.
Will the APP for iPhone be available outside of the U.S anytime soon???Since AppleCare is an extended warranty, Apple needs to write it in such a way that foreign governments will accept it. Even here in the US, it was not valid in Florida until fairly recently.

I have an AT&T locked phone valid contract for another year. I am planning for India visit for 3 months and I want to unlock my phone to use for my purpose. Apple care can help on this? or AT&T Customer care?
It's not going to happen. Even a cursory reading of the forums would have revealed this fact.
Apple can NOT help you. AT&T WILL NOT help you.
Leave your iPhone at home or in airplane mode while you're in India and buy yourself a cheap disposable phone to use while you're in India. I believe AT&T still has a program where they will put your account "on hold" while you are gone for a small fee. -
Why Apple sent an Certificate of AppleCare Protection Plan for iPad 3 by Post after 4months after I bought the products?
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Ironically, many have said the exact opposite (service was quick, easy, painless, etc.)

AppleCare Protection Plan for iPhone
The Protection Plan costs $69.00 for a second year of coverage and I do not know if I should buy it. I have heard that the battery in the iPhone needs to be replaced yearly, is this true? I have heard that to replace a battery, it will cost around $85 and if this is true, isn't it better to get the AppleCare package for $69?
ThanksAnsuz82,
The iPhone batteries page says designed to retain 80% at this link in the right hand side bar:
http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
The quote from that page is:
A properly maintained iPhone battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 400 full charge and discharge cycles. You may choose to replace your battery when it no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs.
The page you link to says it will be replaced by Apple if it drops to below 50% capacity while covered. The actual quote is:
Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. You can extend your coverage to two years from the date of your iPhone purchase with the AppleCare Protection Plan for iPhone. During the plan’s coverage period, Apple will replace the battery if it drops below 50% of its original capacity. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery replacement for $79, plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax. Apple disposes of your battery in an environmentally friendly manner.
In other word it should retain 80% of its capacity at least after 400 full charge cycles. If your battery should drop below 50% capacity while covered by warranty or AppleCare Protection Plan, it will be replaced by Apple. There isn't a way to read the number of cycles off the battery that I am aware of.
Hope this helps,

You can use the same Apple ID for both phones, you would then be able to use the purchased Apps/Content on both phones without having to pay again.

That did not help me find out needy iPhone will break Icloud account for Iphone his serial number (DN******TTN) for I am I can not activate buy user please help
<Personal Information Edited by Host>Your question isn't at all clear. Is this a second-hand phone which has been locked by the previous user? In that case only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it) - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
If you unable to contact him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all.
You should if possible return it to wherever you bought it and ask for a refund as in this event the device is completely useless.
You should not post serial numbers or any other personal data here; I've asked the Hosts to remove it.
