Are AirPods eligible for AppleCare?

Answered by Antonio Sutton

AirPods are eligible for AppleCare+ coverage. AppleCare+ is a service provided by Apple that offers repair or replacement coverage for a range of Apple products, including AirPods. With AppleCare+, you can have peace of mind knowing that your AirPods are protected against certain issues.

AppleCare+ for AirPods covers both parts and labor, and the service coverage includes your AirPods themselves, as well as the battery. This means that if your AirPods experience any defects or damage, Apple-authorized technicians will be able to repair or replace them for you.

Having AppleCare+ for your AirPods can be especially beneficial if you rely on them for everyday use, as accidents can happen, and batteries can degrade over time. With this coverage, you can have the assurance that any necessary repairs or replacements will be taken care of by professionals.

One of the advantages of AppleCare+ is that it extends the standard warranty coverage for your AirPods, which typically lasts for one year. With AppleCare+, you can extend the coverage for an additional two years, giving you a total of three years of protection. This can be particularly helpful if any issues arise after the standard warranty period has expired.

It’s important to note that AppleCare+ also provides coverage for up to two incidents of accidental damage. This includes incidents such as drops, spills, or other unforeseen accidents that may occur with your AirPods. There is a service fee associated with each incident of accidental damage, but it is often much more affordable than the cost of a full repair or replacement.

To purchase AppleCare+ for your AirPods, you can either buy it at the same time as you purchase your AirPods or within 60 days of the original purchase date. You can choose to add AppleCare+ coverage to your AirPods when you buy them online or at an Apple Store, or by contacting Apple Support.

In my personal experience, I have found AppleCare+ to be a valuable investment for my Apple products, including AirPods. It has given me peace of mind knowing that I have coverage in case anything goes wrong. The convenience of being able to have my AirPods repaired or replaced by Apple-authorized technicians is definitely a plus.

AppleCare+ for AirPods is a comprehensive coverage option that provides protection for both defects and accidental damage. If you use your AirPods frequently and want to ensure that they are protected, I would highly recommend considering AppleCare+ for added peace of mind.
