Apple India expands Apple Care+ with theft and loss coverage for iPhone

Apple on Wednesday (November 19) announced expansion of the Apple Care+ coverage, offering more value for the after-sales subscription plans in India.

Currently, Apple Care+ offers faster repairs for accidents like drops and spills. Free replacement of the battery when it drops below 80 per cent capacity. And priority customer care with just a chat, call or tap. Plans also include extended warranty coverage in the case of any hardware issues.

AppleCare gives our customers peace of mind knowing that their products are protected and supported by Apple experts. With today’s updates in India, we’re making it easier and more affordable to get trusted protection, including access to our most complete coverage for iPhone.
