  • AppleCare Plus is a premium warranty service with additional benefits, available to iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac users.
  • Apple had long offered customers a 30-day grace period for renewing the insurance after it expires, but it has now extended it to 45 days.
  • Some of AppleCare Plus’ benefits include free battery replacements in some cases, lower service fees for accidental damage, and more.

When buying a new iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Mac, you can optionally opt for AppleCare Plus. Through this premium insurance service, subscribed users get added benefits — beyond the limited, one-year warranty included by default. For the longest time, the Cupertino firm had offered paying users a 30-day grace period to extend their AppleCare Plus coverage after it expires. Earlier this month, though, Apple extended the period to 45 days, giving users more time to restart their subscription.

According to an updated Apple support document (via MacRumors), eligible AppleCare Plus subscribers now have 45 days to extend the warranty service after it expires. Users can pick between monthly and annual plans for iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches, while the Mac is limited to yearly policies.
