Apple has revolutionized smartphone protection in India with the groundbreaking launch of AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss coverage. This marks the first time Indian consumers can access such comprehensive protection directly from Apple, bringing the country in line with global markets.
What's New in AppleCare+ for India?
The most significant addition is the AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss plan, which starts at ₹799 per month. This comprehensive coverage includes protection against up to two incidents of theft or loss annually. If your iPhone gets stolen or lost, Apple will replace your device, providing unprecedented peace of mind for Indian smartphone users.
Until now, Indian consumers were limited to standard AppleCare+ subscriptions that covered battery maintenance and accidental damage but excluded theft and loss protection. Most users had to rely on third-party insurance providers for such coverage, but now they can get complete protection directly from Apple.
Enhanced Payment Flexibility and Coverage Details
Apple has introduced more flexible payment options to make protection plans more accessible. Consumers can now choose between monthly and annual payment plans, eliminating the need to pay the entire amount upfront. This monthly subscription model makes comprehensive protection more affordable and manageable for budget-conscious consumers.
The new theft and loss plan includes all benefits of standard AppleCare+, featuring unlimited accidental damage repairs using genuine Apple parts, battery replacement when health falls below specified thresholds, and priority customer assistance available 24/7. All repairs and replacements are performed either at Apple Stores or through approved Apple Authorised Service Providers, ensuring your device receives authentic parts and professional servicing.
Easy Access and Immediate Coverage
Apple has streamlined the process of purchasing and managing these protection plans. Users can easily view all available plan options, check eligibility, and purchase subscriptions directly from the Settings app on their iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Coverage begins immediately after purchase, providing instant protection for your valuable Apple device.
This strategic move represents Apple's commitment to the Indian market, where iPhone ownership continues to grow significantly. By offering theft and loss protection alongside flexible payment options, Apple addresses key concerns of Indian consumers who have long sought comprehensive, affordable protection for their premium devices.
Indian consumers interested in exploring these new protection options can visit Apple's official India website or simply open the Settings app on their iPhone to learn more about available plans and subscription details.
