In this guide you will learn how to add AppleCare to iPhone after you have purchased it. Recently Apple has changed its policy on AppleCare, and now it allows users to add AppleCare to their device anytime until 1 year of purchase.
If you have just bought a new iPhone or iPad, probably the first thing you should think about is to secure your device. Pretty important, right, but how? This is the question many new iPhone users ask. And the answer is simple, add AppleCare.
As we mentioned earlier the time limit to add AppleCare to an iPhone is not restricted to 60 days after purchase, because Apple has increased this limit and now you can add it within one year of your purchase.
Moreover, regardless of the fact that you got your iPhone from the Apple Store or any other store, you can increase the warranty of your iPhone to 2 years. You can also add damage protection, including theft and loss, within one year from the day you bought your device.
Speaking of adding AppleCare+, make sure your device is in good working condition and is not damaged. And then follow the steps below given your preferred way of adding i.e. by phone, online, or via App Store.
