You can get things fixed all over the world. The last factor that pushed me over the edge was the international nature of Apple Warranty. And many of the devices I've owned I sold or gifted to people in my life, so I've seen how long they've lasted them. While some of my Macs have had warranty-covered issues, one has never died on me past the AppleCare period. I am of the opinion that most issues will typically show up in the first few years. This is the first iMac I have purchased new and I almost didn't add AppleCare it to the shopping cart.īut in the end I decided to get it: Macintosh repairs can be complicated (thus expensive) and wanted I opted for the ease of repairs should the iMac have a major issue in the next few years. (It helps purchasing using a credit card that extends manufacturer warranties as well.) I try to avoid extended warranties generally, preferring to pay for a repair or replacement out of pocket, but for some purchases it makes more sense. When it came to having a desktop I was feeling similar to you because this computer isn't going through the same beating everyday that a laptop would. Especially for flaky batteries that die well before they should, cycles wise. I've always had solid experiences with Apple and Apple Authorized service, and having Apple Care just makes it so much easier and less stressful to get a hardware issue resolved. The machine looked like new – and it was nice to get rid of that funky purple UV effect around all of the edges. The Authorized Service location had my 2015 Pro back to me with a brand new display within a week. Unrelated to paid warranty I've even had a few out-of-warranty repairs be provided: most recently for the display coating issue seen on some older 2014/2015 MacBook Pro models. (Work provided MacBooks being the exception.) Practically: it has been helpful for batteries which died beyond what was reasonable, display hardware issues, keyboard fixes, maybe a (mechanical) hard drive fix and more than I can probably remember in all of those years. I was on the fence for my new iMac (arriving this week.) As far as I can recall I've always purchased it for the Apple laptops that myself or a partner purchased, going back to the early 2000's.
