All Apple products come AppleCare warranty and 90 days of complimentary technical support for a year for free. However, it is a limited hardware warranty that only covers manufacturing defects.

Recently, Apple increased battery replacement prices for out-of-warranty iPhones, iPads, and Macs by up to $50 which has made opting for AppleCare Plus an attractive choice.
So, if you want to know what AppleCare Plus includes, how much it costs, and how to purchase it, then you have come to the right place.
