Applecare on iphone 5?

Bought my applcare + for my iphone 5 upon release.  If I accidently drop or damage my phone will.....
1. Will they be apple to provide me with another iphone 5 or will I get a 5c becuase they are discontinued?
2. When I singed up the contract was $50 for replacement, now its $79.  Which will I have to pay?
Thanks

1. You will get exactly the same phone that is covered by AppleCare +, mainly an iPhone 5.
2.  I believe the price is still 50, but I am not sure whether the new price is retroactive or just for new AppleCare + contracts. Contact AppleCare.

  • AppleCare for iPhone 3G / Advance replacement service UK

    Having had a good look around the UK online store, it seems as though the Applecare for iPhone is currently unavailable or has been deleted. Is anyone aware of what has become of it, whether it might return or will an alternative me made available otherwise?
    Having made use of Apple's own support with respect to macs I've owned in the past, I'm keener to purchase Apple's own hardware/software support than that of a third party insurer.

    Thanks for the reply. I've just checked with the UK online sales people; Yes, Applecare for iPhone is currently withdrawn. The phone itself has a 1 year hardware warranty from Apple, and tech support is available for the duration of the airtime contract (18 months in most cases with O2 UK).
    With luck the AC for iPhone will return at some point as you suggest.

    You should call Apple but you should get an email from Apple. I got one a few minutes ago and this is what they said about AppleCare+ :
    Thank you for your recent iPhone 5 purchase at the Apple Store.
    We would like to let you know that every iPhone comes with one year of hardware repair coverage through its limited warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary support. AppleCare+ for iPhone extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPhone and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a $49 service fee.
    We noticed you weren't given the opportunity to add AppleCare+ to your iPhone. If you would like to extend your coverage for only $99, please reply to this email by September 21st.
    After that date, if you would still like to purchase AppleCare+ within the first thirty days of receiving your iPhone, you can call AppleCare at 800-MY-IPHONE or visit an Apple Retail Store.
    Thank you for shopping with Apple.
    Sincerely,

  • Cannot buy applecare+ for iphone

    i ONLY found out about applecare+ for iphone through a friend. i tried to buy it online, but it said i need to make a genius appointment. so i made the appointment. when i went in they said i was past 30 days since i bought the phone so i had to call applecare.
    i called applecare, after 4 hours on the phone i got escalated all the way to a senior admin applecare agreement admin who would not help me purchase the applecare+.
    i'm at a loss for what to do. nowhere in the terms and services does it say you have to buy within 30 days of purchase. they added it to the website after the fact. anyway, i made the appointment when i was within my 30 days.
    Here is proof their terms and conditions do NOT specify a day limit for purchase except within the first 2 years of purchase:
    http://www.apple.com/legal/applecare/applecareplusforiphone.html
    please help!

    the apple website is not the official terms and agreement, legally. what i linked to is the legal terms and agreement. nowhere there does it say there is any kind of limit on when you can purchase it.
    if it is ONLY listed on their website, then technically they would have to require each apple store employee to take you to that site when you buy the phone.
    as i've said, the APPLE employee that sold me the phone did not tell me there was a 30 day limit on my warranty purchase availability, nor did ANY of the follow-up emails from Apple congratulating me on my ******** purchase of this crappy phone.
    it is misdirection and false advertising and misrepresenting the product.
    the 30 day is an artifice created by Apple. This was verified to me by Eric and Lonnie and Frank and Valisha all from Apple support.
    I'm trying to ascertain if other apple users have had this same problem with Apple violating their contract with users.
    see the link I posted above. there is no reference to a 30 day limit.

  • Couldn't order AppleCare with iPhone 5

    I wanted to order AppleCare when I ordered my iPhone 5, but the Apple Store app never gave me the chance (it took me straight to checkout).
    I've tried to modify the order but haven't found a way without canceling it, and don't want to do that at this point.
    Any ideas?
    TIA, Bob

    Bob, definitely be patient. They seem swamped right now. I could get through to 1-800-MYAPPLE, but would always get disconnected once I got past the automaton.
    Here is the full email text since it outlines all the options if you were not offered AppleCare at time of order. They clearly indicate you can call AppleCare at 1-800-MY-IPHONE (which is a different number from 1-800-MYAPPLE) within the first 30 days of ordering. I would try that number as an option although it may actually connect to the same number behind the scenes. I didn't actually try because my problem was solved.

  • AppleCare and iPhone

    Hello I won an iPhone 3G at a work function in the US, I am planning to get it activated with rogers when i get back to Canada. Can i buy the iPhone AppleCare here and have it registered to my phone? Am I allowed to do this?? It ***** that there is no AppleCare available in Canada.

    Hello I won an iPhone 3G at a work function in the US
    Do you actually have the phone? Normally you can't get an iPhone in the US unless you sign a two year contract with AT&T, even if you buy it directly from Apple. Sometimes (if the store is very busy, or their activation system isn't working, they will let you take it home unactivated, but only after you sign the contract. US iPhones are locked to AT&T. You will not be able to activate it with a Rogers SIM in Canada. The warrantee will only be valid in the US.
    See if you can sell it in the US then buy a Canadian one when you return to Canada. There are US iPhone owners who have damaged or drowned their iPhones and would be glad to buy a replacement for less than the unsubsidized price ($400 or $500). You could sell it from Canada on eBay to a US buyer. Be sure to state that it's a US iPhone.

  • Watch are benefits to AppleCare with iPhone 4

    I understand AppleCare from having it for my MacBook, but how does it apply to an iPhone?
    Example question: If iPhone "goes south" during the second year of ownership (and not at the fault of the owner/user), does AppleCare provide a replacement for free?
    How does Apple treat replacing a broken phone when there's no insurance or warranty involved during year number two? Is it at the full-retail or upgrade price? Is a new contract required (assuming there's no AppleCare involved)?
    is AppleCare for the iPhone the key to the Genius Bar?
    Here's where I'm coming from: If Apple, during year number two, will allow a broken phone to be replaced at the upgrade price (say, $199, paying $70 to cover a possible $200 loss seems downright stupid.
    Input would be appreciated. Thanks.

    The AppleCare extended warranty extends the standard one year warranty by an additional year. This provides free telephone support if needed for the entire two years. Free telephone support is limited to the first 90 days after the purchase date.
    If there is not an Apple Store nearby and an exchange under warranty is required, with the AppleCare extended warranty there is no charge for expedited shipping. Otherwise there would be a $29 charge for expedited shipping.
    Having the AppleCare extended warranty for the iPhone is not the key to the Genius Bar. If you don't purchase the AppleCare extended warranty and there is a problem with your iPhone in year two, you can make an appointment at an Apple store and there will be no charge for the support to determine what is wrong and if it can be resolved.
    After the warranty expires, if there is a problem that cannot be resolved by any other means besides the iPhone being taken apart for repair or for a part or parts to be replaced or purchasing another iPhone, Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price, which pays for an exchange at a discounted price off the full retail sales price. For the 3G and 3GS, the cost is $199 plus tax and includes a 90 day warranty. This does not require signing a new two year contract with AT&T and does not affect your upgrade eligibility.
    If you don't qualify for AT&T's fully subsidized or discounted price if this happens in year two without having the AppleCare extended warranty, you can't purchase a new iPhone at AT&T's fully subsidized or discounted price. It would cost an additional $200 at the early upgrade price which would require signing a new two year contract.

  • Applecare Original iPhone Battery Replacement

    My battery life has decreased significantly, so I called support and learned that under Applecare, they will cross-ship you a like-new replacement phone for no charge if your battery life is under 50%- but they put a hold on your credit card for the full amount of the replacement until the problem is tested.
    My question is this: how stringent are they with the less than 50% battery condition? And what is normal standby time and usage for a 2 year old original iphone running the latest software?
    The battery life is certainly not meeting my needs, but will I be charged for the replacement phone if they deem the old battery fit? Will I have the option to get the old phone (and battery) back instead of paying $499 if that is the case?
    Any experiences or insight is helpful- thanks!

    Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price, which pays for an exchange at a discounted price. The cost is $199 plus tax.
    Did AppleCare inform you the replacement cost for an original iPhone is $499 in this situation - for an iPhone that remains under warranty?
    I had an iPhone exchanged under warranty once via AppleCare. They required a credit card in case I didn't return the iPhone being exchanged within the required time frame - within 10 business days I believe.
    If they determine that your iPhone's battery does not meet this requirement, I would think you have the option to have the iPhone returned to you. You should be able to confirm this with AppleCare.

  • Is Applecare+ for iPhone 5 transferrable?

    If I purchase applecare+ with my new iPhone 5, will it be transferable to another iPhone 5?

    Dang.
    Well, I just found this under the Terms and Condition of AppleCare+:
    10. Transfer of Plan
    Subject to the restrictions set forth below, you may make a one-time permanent transfer of all of your rights under the Plan to another party, provided that: (a) the transfer includes the original proof of purchase, the Plan's Confirmation and all of the Plan's printed materials and these Terms and Conditions; (b) you notify Apple of the transfer by sending, faxing or e-mailing notice of transfer to Apple Inc., ATTN: Agreement Administration, MS: 217-AC, 2511 Laguna Blvd, Elk Grove, CA 95758, U.S., fax number 916- 405-3655 or [email protected], respectively, and (c) the party receiving the Plan accepts the terms and conditions of the Plan. When notifying Apple of the transfer of the Plan, you must provide the Plan Agreement Number, the serial number of the Covered iPhone being transferred, and the name, address, telephone number and email address of the new owner.
    Would that do the trick?

  • Cannot sync application and applecare for iphone 3G

    I had many sad problem with my handphone since bought in Sept 2008. Trying to resolve the problem at Chadstone Melbourne in Dec 2008, but they only mentioned that it was the application that was a problem. Apparently I lived in overseas and bought the iphone3G outright at Optus.
    I have problem with syncing application that are more than 50Mb. Any update of an application that are more than 50 MB, during syncing it will switched/restarted the iphone for many times until I decided to delete the apps. What should I do?
    I also had try to find out if there are any extended warranty to iphone in Australia, it seemed that there were none. Could anyone help? My reason was to maintain guarantee toward my Dec 2009 returning to Melb to service this phone.
    Any suggestion and help welcome.
    Thx

    Welcome to the discussions,
    Did you try to reset your phone by holding the sleep and home button until you see the Apple logo?
    Do you use wifi to update apps with more than 50MB?
    I also had try to find out if there are any extended warranty to iphone in Australia, it seemed that there were none.
    After AppleCare for the iphone was introduced in the US it took some time until I could buy it in my Apple Store, so maybe you'll have to wait a little longer or call Apple Store Australia and ask if they know about that program.

  • Can't activate applecare-replaced iphone 4 with previously working SIM

    Hi,
    I had an iphone 4, purchased from apple online store, not locked to a carrier. It worked perfectly with a local carrier's SIM (Manx Telecom) for nearly 12 months, then developed a hardware fault and applecare replaced it no hassle. The SIM stayed with me.
    The replacement iphone doesn't like the Manx Telecom SIM - it's an "unsupported card" or "unsupported carrier". Manx Telecom sell unlocked iPhone 4s from their own retail store, and the SIM was obtained from them. Applecare support think the replacement iphone is unlocked, and I've done an OS restore (it asked for a WEP key when I restored it, I think it's iOS5) but still itunes and the iphone say that the SIM is unsupported.
    I've escalated this to applecare, and they tell me that the replacement iPhone *is* unlocked. I don't know how carrier locking works, and I don't suspect the SIM, although I'll get that checked later today.
    I'm worried that this will drag on, and being from a small country with an insignificant number of people, this might get dropped into a black hole of "we've never had one of these before, it's not really a problem"
    Any ideas? All gratefully received. Reports of positive experiences would be welcome, as woudl ideas on next steps if I don't get any joy from the current incident.
    Thanks for reading right to the end!
    Pat

    Applecare just fixed it. It hadn't been connected to wifi or itunes between last call and now, and they got it to accept the SIM, presumably over GSM. I am chuffed.

  • Applecare+ for Verizon iPhone 4s

    There is no provision to purchase Applecare + with a new pre-ordered iPhone 4s on the Verizon site. What provisions will Apple make for those who purchased their 4s this way?
    The ordering process puts one in a catch-22: if you attempt to get a Family Plan through the Apple site, you are told that you must purchase your phone at the Apple Store. If you order the phone through Verizon, Applecare+ is not an offered option.
    Will Apple make it possible for new Verizon iPhone 4s customers to get the Applecare+ coverage?

    After speaking with the tech support person from Apple, I received an email which said:
    "Dear Apple Customer,
    Thank you for your recent iPhone purchase at the Apple Online Store.

    So I replied to the email and now when I look at my iPhone 4S order, the AppleCare+ package is now included. Has anyone else gotten that email?
