The additional protection system that Apple offers us through AppleCare in most countries, including the AppleCare + modality, allows us to contract additional insurance to cover any incident that our device may have, either by habitual use or by damage caused by unwanted accidents.
AppleCare is available worldwide for all users who want to hire it, but it is only an option to consider on the Mac, due to the extended support it offers. Nevertheless, AppleCare + mode is only available in the United States and Japan. AppleCare + offers us terminal or device changes. Australia and New Zealand have just been added to this limited and select group of users.
Apple offers us a period of 60 days after the purchase date to be able to contract both AppleCare and AppleCare +, as long as the product passes a diagnosis made by Apple, although it is usual to hire it at the time the purchase of the new equipment is made. Prices in Australia for AppleCare + on the Mac Mini are 149 Australian dollars (95 euros), while for the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Touchbar the price rises up to 449 Australian dollars (about 280 euros).
If we suffer an accident that affects our device, which affects both the screen and cosmetic damage of the 15-inch MacBook Pro, we will have to pay 129 Australian dollars, and 429 dollars for any other repair. In New Zealand, AppleCare + is priced at 149 N $ (88 euros) while the AppleCare + price for the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Touchbar amounts to 539 N $ (318 euros). If you need assistance that affects the screen or cosmetic damage of the MacBook Pro, the price rises up to N $ 169 and N $ 499 for any other damage that does not correspond to the screen or aesthetic damage.
