Can I buy additional coverage for my Apple TV?
AppleCare Protection Plan gives you expert telephone support and additional hardware coverage for up to two years from the day you bought your Apple TV. You can buy the AppleCare Protection Plan within one year of the original date that you bought your Apple TV.
You may also have consumer law rights. Apple Limited Warranty and AppleCare Protection Plan benefits are in addition to your rights under consumer law.
Express Replacement Service is only available for AppleCare Protection Plan customers
If you need to replace your Apple TV immediately, Express Replacement Service offers speedy delivery. We can send you a replacement Apple TV right away with shipping materials and instructions. Return your original Apple TV to us within 10 business days of your request to avoid paying late fees.
When you request Express Replacement Service, we put a temporary authorization on your credit card to cover the full replacement value of your product. This authorization will expire when we receive your original product on time. In that case, you won't pay late fees or replacement value.
If your original Apple TV arrives late, we'll remove the charge for the replacement value. You'll pay only a late fee. A late return is between 10 and 20 business days after we ship the replacement to you.
If your Apple TV was severely damaged in an accident or it's inoperable after unauthorized modifications, or if we never receive it, we'll charge you the replacement value.
| Model | Late fee | Replacement value |
|---|---|---|
| Apple TV 4K 32 GB | € 25 | € 199 |
| Apple TV 4K 64 GB | € 35 | € 219 |
| Apple TV (4th generation) 32 GB | € 20 | € 159 |

Out-of-warranty service
Repairs are considered out of warranty when:
- Your Apple TV is over one year old
- Your Apple TV has an issue that’s not covered under warranty or consumer law, like accidental damage or unauthorized modifications
We charge for out-of-warranty service. If we find an issue with your Apple TV, we might be able to fix it or replace it with an Apple TV that’s new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability. Contact your service representative for details.

Battery service for your remote
Apple TV 4K and Apple TV (4th generation) include a remote with a rechargeable battery. If your battery has a manufacturing defect and it's covered by the Apple Limited Warranty, AppleCare Protection Plan, or consumer law, we'll service it at no additional cost. Our warranty doesn’t cover batteries that wear down from normal use.
We might need to test your accessory to find the cause of your battery issue. If your Apple TV Remote isn't covered, we can service or replace it for a fee.
You get an additional benefit if you have an AppleCare Protection Plan. If your battery can hold only 80 percent or less of its original capacity and it's covered by your AppleCare plan, we'll service your accessory at no charge.
