After your one-year limited warranty period ends, you will not be able to purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan for your Mac, iPad or iPod. We strongly recommend that you purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan when you purchase your Apple product, or as soon as possible, to maximise the additional benefits provided under the plan.

Every Mac comes with complimentary telephone technical support within 90 days of your Mac purchase and a one-year limited warranty. With the AppleCare Protection Plan, you can extend your service coverage to three years from the computer's purchase date. You can call Apple's award-winning technical support experts as often as you like and get your questions answered. And if you need repair service, we also offer convenient service options around the world.

Every iPad comes with one year of hardware repair coverage and 90 days of telephone technical support. The AppleCare Protection Plan for iPad extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPad.

Every iPod comes with complimentary single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days from the date of purchase and one year of hardware service coverage. The AppleCare Protection Plan extends your service and support coverage for your iPod, its included accessories, and iTunes to two years from the original purchase date of your iPod. With this plan, you get direct access to Apple experts for answers by phone and should your iPod or the included accessories need service, Apple-authorized technicians will repair it or provide a replacement using genuine Apple parts.
