My AppleCare experience
When I signed up to write at Appletell nearly two months ago, I had planned to write frequently, but soon after I began writing, things took a turn for the worst. The problem was that my 15” powerbook G4 kept randomly shutting down about every 9 or 10 hours. Because I had purchased the AppleCare extended warranty, I was eligible to receive repairs free of charge. I called up AppleCare (1-800-APL-CARE) and explained the situation to a representative.
They decided to send me a box which I would send the computer back to them in to get it repaired. After a couple of days, I got the box in the mail, and after about 2 weeks I got the computer back from the repair center. I eagerly fired it up, and everything seemed fine, but I would soon find that instead of every 9 or 10 hours, it was now shutting down every 2-3 hours. I called up AppleCare again and I was shortly transferred to a senior repair representative. He was very nice, and said that he would be happy to set me up for a second, expedited repair. This time, after only 1 week, I got my computer back, but only to find out that my computer was now shutting down every 40 minutes. I called my representative at his direct number and spoke to him about the situation.
Confirmed: $69 for iPhone AppleCare
With the iPhone out for almost a month now there have been a few incidents of the people having trouble with their phones, mostly in the form of cracking screens. We had previously mentioned that AppleCare would be available for the iPhone, and it would be around the $60 mark.
Well, according to Apple’s site today, we were off by a few bucks. The final price of AppleCare for the iPhone is $69. “For $69, the AppleCare Protection Plan for iPhone provides an additional year of hardware repair coverage, including coverage for the iPhone battery.“ This seems like a small price to pay to know that if your iPhone breaks it will be taken care of.
