AppleCare+ gives you expert technical support and hardware coverage from Apple, including accidental damage protection. Each incident of accidental damage is subject to an excess fee.

If you don't have AppleCare+, you'll pay the out-of-warranty fee for that type of repair.

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 the full replacement value for Apple TV.

Express Replacement Service is benefit of your AppleCare plan. The service delivers your replacement Apple TV faster, but it doesn't cover any costs for your product, such as service fees or the replacement value. When we get your original device, we'll determine those costs. Meanwhile, you can start using your replacement Apple TV.

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 if:

• Your repair is covered under warranty, an AppleCare plan, or consumer law
• We receive your original product within 10 business days

If we receive your Apple TV and find that it was severely damaged in an accident, or it's inoperable after unauthorized modifications, you'll pay the full replacement value.

All prices apply in Ireland. These fees are in euros (€) and include VAT. Your replacement Apple TV will be new or equivalent to new. Apple reserves the right to change the replacement value on this web page from time to time.

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.

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, an AppleCare 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 plan. If your battery can hold less than 80 percent of its original capacity and it's covered by your AppleCare plan, we'll service your accessory at no charge.
