Don't Let Your Apple Turn into a Pear: A Hilarious Guide to AppleCare+
So you've just bought the latest and greatest iPhone, a shiny new MacBook, or perhaps even a spiffy Apple Watch. It's sleek, it's sexy, and it makes you feel like a tech titan. But let's be honest, that feeling can quickly turn to dread when you imagine butterfingers like yours inevitably coming into contact with it. Fear not, fellow klutz (and let's face it, we all have a little bit of klutz in us), for there's a magical shield known as AppleCare+ ready to protect your beloved device from life's little mishaps.
But hold on there, Sonic the Hedgehog. Buying AppleCare+ can be a bit of a maze, and navigating Apple's website can feel like trying to decipher ancient hieroglyphics. Worry not, for I, your friendly neighborhood tech-support comedian, am here to guide you through the process with more laughs than a Charlie Chaplin silent film festival.
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.

| How To Purchase Applecare Warranty |
Act Now, Because Procrastination is the Thief of Peace of Mind (and Money)
Yes, that last bit is actually important. You see, AppleCare+ isn't exactly an "all-you-can-eat buffet" kind of deal. You have a limited window of opportunity to purchase it, usually within 60 days of buying your new Apple device. So don't be that person who trips down the stairs a week after their phone purchase, only to discover the AppleCare+ fairy godmother has flown the coop.
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
Picking Your AppleCare+ Plan: A Choose-Your-Own-Adventure (But Less Messy)
There are a few different AppleCare+ plans available, depending on your device. Here's a breakdown that won't put you to sleep (unlike that economics textbook you never opened):
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
- For the iPhone butterfingers: AppleCare+ for iPhone gives you two years of warranty coverage and lets you claim up to two incidents of accidental damage per year. Just remember, even with AppleCare+, dropping your phone into a vat of molten lava is probably not covered (although, that would be a pretty epic story).
- For the MacBook maulers: Spilled coffee? No problem! AppleCare+ for Mac protects your machine from hardware failures and accidental damage for up to three years. Now you can finally quench your thirst without turning your laptop into a puddle-prone paperweight.
- For the Watch-ful worriers: AppleCare+ for Apple Watch safeguards your wrist-worn wonder for two years, including coverage for accidental damage. Now you can scale Mount Everest without fearing a rogue snowball will shatter your watch screen.
Important note: Be sure to check Apple's website for the specific coverage details of each plan, because let's face it, even superheroes need to read the fine print sometimes.
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.

How to Buy AppleCare+: Conquering the Apple Website
There are three main ways to purchase AppleCare+:
- Do it while you're swooning over your new device at the Apple Store: This is the most convenient option, but beware of the hypnotic charm of the Apple salespeople. They might try to upsell you on a lightning cable bedazzled with Swarovski crystals (not covered by AppleCare+, by the way).
- Give Apple a call: Dial 1-800-MY-APPLECARE (get it?) and a friendly voice will guide you through the process. Just be prepared for some hold music that might make you yearn for the days of dial-up internet.
- Channel your inner internet warrior: Head over to the Apple website and get ready to navigate a labyrinth of menus. But fear not, with a little determination (and maybe some caffeine) you'll find the AppleCare+ section for your device.
Now Go Forth and Conquer! (Your Clumsiness, That Is)
With AppleCare+ by your side, you can finally relax and enjoy your new Apple device. Go ahead, take that selfie on a precarious mountaintop, or attempt that fancy latte art without fear. Because hey, even if disaster strikes, you've got a safety net (although, please don't use your Apple Watch as a safety net while mountain climbing).
So go forth, conquer your clumsiness, and live happily ever after with your Apple device, all thanks to the magic of AppleCare+. Just remember, this guide is for entertainment purposes only, and mishaps can still happen (especially if you're reading this while riding a unicycle). But hey, at least you'll have a good story to tell (and hopefully, AppleCare+ to cover the repairs).
