Can an apple care plan be used for a phone that was previously broken and was later turned in for a new undamaged phone?

I dropped my iphone and the screen cracked so I am paying $200 to exchange it in the mail for a fixed phone.  I know the apple care plan can only be bought for new phones, but will this phone count as a "new phone" and be able to be covered under apple care?

I see ads on Amazon selling "used" Apple care, If this is decided by the laws of a country, does anyone know if it applies to the US?  I'm interested in covering my MBA and I could save about $100 if I went for one of these "used" deals on Apple Care.

    It's not 'our' Apple Care - these forums aren't staffed by Apple. They're user-to-user.

  • HT1766 how to back up phone that is not charging and won't turn on before i send it in to apple care

    how to back up a phone that wont charge or turn on before i send it to apple care

    You cannot.  You would have had to back it up when it was still capable of at least powering on.  Now, there is no way to back up a completely unresponsive iPhone.  You need to make backups when a device is working properly, before it has problems.

  • Apple Care plan for MBP

    Does anyone know why the Apple care plan for MBP is more expensive than all the other Apple care plans? Even the Mac Pro has a cheaper plan. It doesn't make sense to me.

    It's obvious to me. My Mac Pro sits in one place, undisturbed. It has a generous, efficient cooling system. It's easy to service.
    My MacBook Pro is carried around town. It's jostled back and forth in my bag as I walk, or as my car goes over bumps. I'm always putting it on tables, creating a slight impact each time. It goes through a lot more power/temperature cycles as it sleeps and wakes. The components are smaller, tightly packed, more expensive to disassemble and service. A laptop goes through a lot more stress and trauma than a desktop, so a laptop is much more prone to failure.

    Apple is not here, you're talking to other users.
    If you buy the AppleCare warranty, it will cover any defects in the computer, just like the included one-year warranty. Note that you must purchase AppleCare within one year of the purchase of the Mac.

  • Transfer Apple Care Plan

    I've been on pre-order for an iPad with Apple Care Plan since they Apple were accepting pre-orders in Australia but still haven't received my iPad (it is still showing as Ships by 7 June). I've received the Care Plan (???) but no iPad and now have the opportunity to purchase one from a reseller tomorrow.
    So before I make the decision, I want to know if I cancel my pre-order for the iPad with Apple and go with the reseller option, can I transfer the Care Plan across to the model I actually purchase?

    arcanedevice,
    You could attempt to contact Apple - Support - Contacting Apple Support and Customer Service - Phone Contacts using the number listed for Australia.
    Another helpful link may be Apple - Support - AppleCare.
    Cheers.

  • Is Apple Care plan necessary?

    I've only recently discovered this discussion board. What a great place to learn, and thank you to all you experts out there.
    I am planning to purchase a new MacBook of my own in Oct with the latest OS. I was considereing adding on the Apple Care plan. Is it worth the $$? Seems so many of you help with tech stuff some of us novices have.

    The nice thing is you can buy it anytime during the first year. It allows you to use the phone support for more than 90 days with no extra cost. It extends hardware and some software coverage an addition two years.
    You can buy it cheaper here.

  • Apple care plan- need some advice..

    hi i just want to ask if is it necessary that my name should be on the apple care plan? coz i was trying to purchased an apple care plan in ebay.. but im not sure if i can use it tho..need some help.. thank you..

    A used AppleCare plan cannot be transferred to a new machine unless you own both machines and you make the transfer within 30 days of purchasing the original machine:
    (ii) With Transfer From Original Covered Equipment to New Covered Equipment. You may make a one time, permanent transfer of the coverage under the Plan to a new Apple product that is owned and purchased by you within thirty (30) days of the Covered Equipment purchase. The new product must be eligible for coverage under the Plan and at the time of transfer both products must be covered under the manufacturer’s one (1) year limited warranty.  Apple will issue a Plan Confirmation for the new product, which will then become the Covered Equipment. When notifying Apple of the transfer, you must provide the Plan Agreement Number, the serial numbers and Proof of Purchase of the products being transferred by sending or faxing, where available, notice of transfer to Apple as set forth in the section immediately above.

  • Once you pre order, how do I get the apple care plan

    Hi,
    I got my pre order done, but didn't see where, I can buy the Apple care plan? Any help would be appreciated?
    Thanks, Jerry

    So a question about activation, in case anyone knows. I used "my" upgrade several months ago to buy the 3GS. We want to use my husband's upgrade to purchase this one, but I am going to use it and my husband is going to use the 3GS. Therefore, I don't want the phone activated to his info. I am wondering if we just need to do this at the store, or if I order under his account, can I just sync it to my iTunes to get it to be my phone? In other words, I don't want them to go ahead and add the iPhone plan to his line (he's not currently on iPhone plan).
    Thanks

  • If I buy a new iphone is my apple care plan still valid on my old phone?

    If I buy a new iphone is my apple care plan still valid on my old phone?

    The Applecare remains with the device until expiry and is transferable
    Is the AppleCare Protection Plan or AppleCare+ transferable?
    Yes.
    If you choose to sell or give away your Apple product, you can also transfer the ownership of the AppleCare Protection Plan or AppleCare+. Please see the Terms and Conditions for complete details.

  • Macbook pro batterie vs apple care plan

    Is the batterie of a macbook pro covered by the apple care plan???

    Yes, the same as any other hardware component of your Mac.
    It's best to contact AppleCare itself, directly, for questions like this. Especially if you have a problem. The worst thing that will happen if you call AppleCare during your warranty period is that they will claim your specific problem is not covered.
