Does Apple Care cover ALL of the hardware on the Macbook?

I noticed that the motherboard isn't included.  Debating whether or not it's even worth it to purchase Apple Care for my next Mac.

The logic board is covered by Applecare. I, too, would not buy a laptop without warranty because they're very tricky for an amateur to fix if they go wrong.
However, it's worth noting that Applecare is a guarantee against defects, not accidents.  If your MacBook is damaged in an accident then usually Applecare won't fix it.  It's worth checking to see if your household insurance has accidental damage cover.

  • Does Apple Care cover battery replacements?

    My battery has been having problems, like not holding charge as long as it used to and the battery percentage sometimes freezes. I asked about it before and I was told the battery in my Macbook Pro only goes up to 1000 cycles and I'm at 937, so my battery is seeing its end soon.  I've had this macbook since January 2013. I have been reading the Apple Care information and I can't find where exactly it addresses this issue. Does Apple Care cover battery replacements for cycle counts like this?
    PS. I'm learning more that Apple Care doesn't really cover anything. The more I read, the more I feel like I wasted my $250 on it to be honest. I don't see anything Apple Care truly covers unless it's a problem when you first get your laptop that manufacturers did. I'll probably will be moving back to Microsoft after this Macbook goes. Half the price and longer lasting without any protection/insurance.

    Since the battery is beyond one year of use, it's doubtful Apple Care will replace the battery for free.
    The best way to find out for certain is to contact Apple Care >  Apple - Support - AppleCare

  • Does apple care cover cosmetic damage?

    I have a dent in my retina macbook pro. Does apple care cover this?

    look into a TYPE of insurance that covers such things....also covers theft/ loss/ accidents etc etc etc
    very very cheap  INLAND MARINE INSURANCE
    anyone with a laptop should have it, period.  And almost nobody knows about it (which is horrible).

    nope. Maybe your home owner's insurance. Or cellular providers sometimes offer insurance, you'd have been paying a monthly fee for that.

  • Does apple care cover key pop out? i have all the parts just need to reassemble back

    i have all the key and the other parts just need to reassemble back

    Applecare covers manufacturer defects, but not physical damage. So, probably not covered. But if the key just fell off you could argue that it was a manufacturer defect. You'll need Apple to look at it to know one way or the other.

  • Does Apple Care cover unintentional water damage?

    Im on vacation in Mexico. I was holding my phone in my hand as most do so and earlier that day it had rained. I was walking near the pool to go back to my hotel room when i slipped and landed in the pool with my phone, My legs are all bruised and scratched and i almost needed stitches. I have apple care but will it cover my water damaged phone?

    AppleCare does not cover liquid damage which would mean you get a replacement as an out of warranty service for a fee. If you have AppleCare+ then you can use one of your 2 incidents to get a replacement for $49.

  • What does Apple Care cover exactly?

    My iPhone 6 Plus has several nicks along the edges, and so does the screen. Would Apple Care (My first free year) cover this, with a set base price I'm assuming?

    No. Cosmetic damage is not covered.

  • What does Apple Care+ cover for accidental?

    I plan on getting the extra coverage, what does it cover? When they say it covers accidental coverage for $79 fee, what damage is covered under that?
    Note: I plan on buying the coverage for the iPhone 6

    From http://www.apple.com/legal/sales-support/applecare/applecareplusnaen.html:
    3.2 Accidental Damage from Handling
    If during the Plan Term you submit a valid claim notifying Apple that the Covered Device has failed due to accidental damage from handling (“ADH”), Apple will, subject to the service fee described below, either repair the defect using new or refurbished parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, or (ii) exchange the Covered Device with a replacement product that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability (both individually known as a “Service Event”). ADH coverage will expire and all of Apple’s obligations to you under this section 3.2 will be fulfilled in its entirety before the end of the Plan Term when Apple, as a result of ADH claims, has provided to you two (2) Service Events. ADH coverage only applies to an operational or mechanical failure caused by an accident from handling that is the result of an unexpected and unintentional external event (e.g. drops and liquid contact) that arises from your normal daily usage of the Covered Device as intended for such Covered Device. ADH coverage does not include (a) protection against normal wear and tear, theft, misplacement, reckless, abusive, willful or intentional conduct associated with handling and use of the Covered Device, (b) protection against any other act or result not covered by the Plan, as described in Section 4.2 below, or (c) any resultant damage to the Covered Device that arises from one or more conditions described in Section 3.2(a) or (b). Apple may ask you to provide an explanation of where and when the accident occurred with a detailed description of the actual event. Apple will deny your claim if you fail to pay the service fee or fail to provide information relating to the accident when asked.

  • Iphone 4, back side shattered... does apple care cover this?

    So I am wondering if apple care protection would cover the back side of my Iphone 4 being shattered. The screen and front side are fine so the phone is not hindered at all, but I would still like to get the back side of it fixed as I have this phone on contract for another year and a half. Please let me know!!!

    If you previously bought AppleCare+ for it, accidental damage is covered. Regular AppleCare doesn't cover accidents.
