Can I still purchase Apple Care for my old iPhone 4?

When I got my iPhone 4 nearly a year ago, I was told that I could purchase Apple Care at any point in the first year to extend the warranty an extra year, etc. I was planning to do that today (I couldn't take the financial hit before it became necessary at the year's end), but I see now that with the iPhone 4S has come AppleCare+, which much be pruchased within 30 days after your phone purchase. As I have an older model, I don't see how this should apply to me—30 days had already come and gone before they came out with this new policy! So, my question is this: How can I purchase the original Apple Care extenstion for my older phone?

You cannot purchase the extended warranty after the end of the standard one year warranty. You might find other companies that offer limited forms of extended warranties such as those offered for used cars.

    If i buy an iPad from Amazon can I still purchase apple care?

    How to get AppleCare+
    Purchase AppleCare+ together with your new iPad, and you'll be automatically registered in the plan. Add it to your shopping cart during the checkout process when you purchase your new iPad.
    Or buy it within 30 days of your iPad purchase:
    At an Apple Retail Store (if AppleCare+ is purchased separately from iPad, inspection of iPad and proof of purchase are required.)
    Or call (800) 275-2273 (requires you to run a remote diagnostic and provide proof of purchase)

  • If i buy iPhone from verizon can i still purchase apple care

    If I buy my phone from verizon can I still purchase apple care plan from apple?

    You sound really certain about this -- but Apple's current info page for AppleCare+ says "AppleCare+ must be purchased together with new covered equipment." (bottom of this page: http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html )
    And AppleCare isn't one of the "accessories" Verizon seems to let you order with the phone. So wouldn't this mean it's impossible to order it from Verizon and get AppleCare?

  • Purchased iPad 2 last year, can I still purchase apple care?

    My iPad 2 is not yet past the 1 year warranty, can I still purchase Apple Care?

    You'll need to find a boxed retail version either at an Apple Store or online, but as long as you can find one, then yes, you can still register it and get coverage.
    You might even still be able to buy it online, as it seems to still come up as in stock on some stores?

    Sorry, no. Apple-care must be purchased within the first year of ownership.

    Incorrect sir.
    After the 30 days YOU can still purchase Apple protection plan for $69, which extends your phone support just like AC+ and your hardware warranty just like AC+ it also gives you a a free battery replacement.
    The only difference between AC+ and Apple protection plan is that AC+ covers accidental damage.
    Customer who do not purchase AC+ or APP will then have to purchase a Pay-Per-Incident which is a $20 fee for each issue calling in on.
    Pay-Per-Incidents or PPI's last for 30 days on the one issue that they were purchased on.
    No, you cannot.
    An iPhone in the USA is eligible for AppleCare+ and ONLY AppleCare+.  AppleCare+ completely replaced AppleCare for iPhones when it was announced.  Check Apples own warranty pages on the web site.  You CANNOT buy AppleCare for an iPhone in the USA - ever.  It is not offered for iPhones any longer.

  • Can I purchase apple care for time capsule that is less than 90 days old?

    can I purchase apple care for time capsule that is less than 90 days old?

    Sure enough...
    The 90 day period basically applies for telephone support if you don't have Apple Care (a three year apple hardware/apple software coverage that would be similar to an extended warranty for your TV) with the outstanding feature that you have unlimited telephone support for the entire 3 year period beginning when your Mac was first purchased.
    Your situation is similar to mine: I bought my MBP this august and just (literally) bought the 2TB TC. So the three year period began when the Mac was purchased and will run out when the MBP reaches it's exact 3 year anniversary. I went 4 or 5 levels above the sales staff and reached an individual at Apple whose exact title is: Sales & Service Management Representive. The first question I asked was is my TC covered under Apple Care and for how long, etc.: as the TC (as well as the MBP) have only a limited1 year warranty without Apple Care.
    If you've been following the posts on this exact site and several others, you'll see many upon many TC's experience a premature death around 18-24 months. So IMHO I think Apple Care is a good deal: coverage for your Mac as well as the TC (double coverage).
    On a lighter note something like double your pleasure double your fun: Xerox your paycheck!
    cheers...

  • Can I still get apple care?

    Hey,
    I was wondering can I still get apple care on my Mac BookPro 13" I got it in Late 2011?

    The starting clock is actual date of purchase.  And they do count all of the actual day even you bought it at 6 PM.  And if you buy it online "purchase date" is when they process your card, not when you receive it.
    Get AppleCare a week in advance to be sure all snafus in getting it activated will not push you beyond that first year.

  • Can I buy an Apple care for a second hand machine which has recently expired its service coverage

    can I buy an Apple care for a second hand machine which has recently expired its service coverage

    While I don't know about the second hand machine consideration, Applecare needs to be bought during the first year while standard warranty coverage is in effect. Once that expires, you can't buy Applecare for a system.

  • How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud on iPhone 5 with iOS7?

    How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud on iPhone 5 with iOS7? When I updated to iOS7 it kept my old ID on some features and my new one on others. I was able to change my Apple ID on all apps except iCloud. I don't have the original email account I used when setting up my iPhone with the old Apple ID and I have no clue what the password was. It appears I first need to turn off "Find my iPhone" which requires the old Apple ID, then I can delete the iCloud account. I want to use my current Apple ID to be able to use the "Find my iPhone" feature in iOS7. I hope someone can help!!

    GmaL2 wrote:
    That doesn't help. It's an old email that doesn't work anymore. Please read the entire post. iOS7 won't let you delete iCloud unless you have the password for the old/inactive email/Apple ID.
    You never mentioned that you didn't have access to that email.  There are some specific steps you can perform to retrieve the old Apple ID password.

  • Can I still get Apple Care if I buy through another website?

    I was thinking of buying my new Mac through this Venue website. If I do that, will I still be able to purchase the AppleCare through Apple for it?

    Yes you are still eligible to purchase apple care as long as the computer's original purchase date wasn't more than 1 year ago.
    If you're buying a new computer that shouldn't be an issue. If you are buying a used computer it may be an issue.

  • Can I still buy apple care protection?

    Hi I just bought my Macbook this past Saturday. I wanted to know if I can still buy the apple care protection. (nothing is wrong with my beautiful mac by the way) Are they all 250? thanks a lot

    You can purchase AppleCare anytime within the first year of ownership. It does need to be registered before that standard one year warranty expires, so be sure to do that quickly after purchase.
    You do not need to buy it direct from Apple and if you go somewhere else you can get it for less. LA Computer Company is a place that has it for $179 HERE. Others have bought it from eBay or just dug around at PriceWatch or PriceGrabber for a deal.
