What is "applecare"

AppleCare is Apple's brand name for extended warranty and technical support plans. Apple hardware normally has a one-year limited warranty and comes with up to 90 days of technical support by telephone. Customers can obtain extended warranty coverage and technical support, which extends the length and expands the scope of coverage, by buying an AppleCare plan. The AppleCare Protection Plan is available for Macintosh computers, Apple computer monitors, and Apple TV. AppleCare+ plans are available for mobile devices: iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and iPod. AppleCare+ plans require payment of per-use service fees. AppleCare plans include Apple software associated with the covered hardware. Customers can also buy additional support and training through AppleCare.
