AppleCare for Enterprise can help reduce the load on your internal help desk by providing technical support for your employees over the phone, 24/7. See the AppleCare for Enterprise website.
AppleCare for iOS and iPadOS device users
Every iOS and iPadOS device comes with a one-year limited warranty and complimentary telephone technical support for 90 days after the purchase date. This service coverage can be extended to two years from the original purchase date with AppleCare+ for iPhone, AppleCare+ for iPad, or AppleCare+ for iPod touch. Users get 24/7 priority access to Apple experts by chat or phone as well as additional service options when devices need to be repaired. All three programs offer up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a service fee.
AppleCare+ for Mac
Every Mac comes with one year of hardware repair coverage through its limited warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary support. AppleCare+ for Mac extends your coverage to three years from the original purchase date of your Mac and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a service fee of $99 for screen damage or external enclosure damage, or $299 for other damage, plus applicable tax. In addition, you’ll get 24/7 priority access to Apple experts by chat or phone.
Self-Servicing Account Program
As a part of AppleCare+ and the AppleCare Protection Plan, the Self-Servicing Account Program lets your help desk screen devices for issues without calling AppleCare or visiting an Apple Store. If necessary, your organization can directly order a replacement iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or in-box accessories. See the Self-Servicing Account Program website.
You can choose the plans that fit your organization’s needs. See the AppleCare Professional Support website.
