You can buy an AppleCare Protection Plan for your MacBook and extend coverage up to three years, but it won't cover any accidental damage, either. You get a 1-year limited warranty that covers the same defects in materials and workmanship, and the warranty doesn't cover any accidental damage. MacBook coverageĪpple's MacBook, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptop computers have a similar policy to the iPads. If you don't have AppleCare+ and your iPad is out of warranty, prices for replacing a damaged screen will vary by model from $199 (iPad mini, iPad mini 2) to $599 (12.9-inch iPad Pro). That said, you can buy AppleCare+ and extend your warranty coverage to two years of service (which covers all iPad malfunctions) and get "two incidents of accidental damage coverage." You'll still need to pay a $49+tax service fee for each accidental damage incident, but at least Apple will repair your iPad if you, say, drop it and crack the screen. However, the limited warranty doesn't cover "damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, fire, liquid contact, earthquake or other external cause." In other words, if your iPad is physically damaged while in your checked baggage, that's considered accidental damage and it's your own fault.
iPad coverageįor iPads, you get your standard 1-year limited warranty, which covers "defects in materials and workmanship when used normally in accordance with Apple's published guidelines." Devices damaged as a result of forced check-ins will be addressed on a case-by-case basis. While Apple has no special policy to address iPads and MacBooks that are accidentally damaged because of the new restrictions, the company still encourages customers to reach out to its customer support if they encounter issues. Apple's got different warranty policies for iPads and MacBooks, and what's covered really depends on the extent of the damage.
