Does Apple Care cover broken screen MacBook?

Answered by Cody Janus

AppleCare+ for Mac does cover a broken screen on a MacBook. When you purchase AppleCare+ for your Mac, it extends your coverage beyond the standard warranty and includes up to two incidents of accidental damage protection every 12 months.

If your MacBook’s screen gets damaged accidentally, you can take advantage of AppleCare+ to have it repaired. However, it’s important to note that there will be a service fee involved. For screen damage or damage to the external enclosure, the service fee will be $99 (plus applicable tax). This fee is significantly lower than the cost of repairing or replacing a broken screen without AppleCare+.

In my personal experience, I once accidentally dropped my MacBook and cracked the screen. Thankfully, I had AppleCare+ for my device, and I was able to get the screen repaired at an Apple Store. The service fee was indeed $99, which was much more affordable than having to pay for a full screen replacement.

It’s worth mentioning that AppleCare+ for Mac also covers other types of accidental damage, such as liquid spills or damage caused by drops. If your MacBook experiences any other accidental damage, the service fee for repair will be $299 (plus applicable tax).

Having AppleCare+ for your MacBook not only provides peace of mind but also helps you save money in case of accidental damage. It’s important to weigh the cost of AppleCare+ against the potential cost of repairs without it. Considering the high cost of MacBook repairs, especially for screen damage, AppleCare+ can be a worthwhile investment.
