In a significant move for Indian consumers, Apple has officially expanded its AppleCare+ protection plans in the country, introducing a comprehensive theft and loss coverage option for the first time. This upgrade, announced on November 19, 2025, provides iPhone users with more flexibility, customizable choices, and long-term security for their valuable devices.
What's New in AppleCare+ for India?
The most notable addition is the launch of AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss for iPhone. This plan starts at a monthly subscription of ₹799 and provides coverage for up to two incidents of theft or loss every year. Should an iPhone be stolen or go missing, Apple will replace the device. This addresses a critical gap in the market, as most users previously had to rely on third-party insurers for such protection.
Alongside this, Apple has made its plans more accessible by introducing flexible payment options. Customers can now choose to pay for their AppleCare+ coverage on a monthly or annual basis, rather than paying the entire sum upfront. This makes the comprehensive protection plan more affordable and manageable for a wider range of users.
Comprehensive Coverage and Benefits
The new Theft and Loss plan includes all the benefits of the standard AppleCare+ package. This means subscribers are entitled to unlimited repairs for accidental damage, using genuine Apple parts and expert servicing. The coverage also includes battery service if the battery's health drops below a specified threshold, ensuring the device maintains optimal performance.
Furthermore, users gain access to priority access to Apple's customer support, available 24/7. All repairs and replacements are handled either at official Apple Stores or through Apple Authorised Service Providers, guaranteeing authenticity and quality.
Easy Enrollment and Management
Apple has streamlined the process of purchasing and managing these subscriptions. Indian iPhone, iPad, and Mac users can easily check their eligibility, view all available plan options, and sign up directly from the Settings app on their device. Coverage begins immediately after the plan is purchased, offering instant peace of mind.
With this expansion, Apple is aligning its Indian offerings with other global markets where theft and loss insurance and monthly payment plans for AppleCare+ have been available for years. This strategic update empowers consumers with greater choice and flexibility, ultimately providing enhanced security for their premium Apple gadgets.
To learn more or to subscribe to a plan, customers can visit Apple's official India website or navigate to the Settings application on their iPhone.
