Apple extends AppleCare+ from one day to 30 days

The AppleCare+ is the company’s newest protection plan on which users will have to pay an extra $99 instantly when buying the device such as an iPhone 4S. The plan seemed necessary as the iPhone can be considered a fragile piece of work and the AppleCare+ can be a lifesaver in some cases where the phone was accidentally damaged.

However, not everyone had the opportunity to enroll to the plan therefore Apple is giving a grace period of 30 days for the user to enroll to the plan after the purchase of the iPhone but the process can be a bit tedious and troublesome for many. For example, users will have to call up for an appointment at the Genius Bar on which the phone will be inspected thoroughly for any damages. Once that is cleared, only then will the device be insured with AppleCare+. Because of this, it can only be done on select Apple stores and not the retailers.

AppleCare+ will cover at least two accidental damages that occur on the device being insured for a period of two years. The only extra charge that is needed is a $49 service charge which can be considered dirt cheap as compared with buying a new iPhone.
