I'm reading on the internet and it seems you can purchase AppleCare after you have already bought something.

I'm wondering a couple things:

1. Why does AppleCare need a shipping address? Is it something in a box that I need with my Apple product?

2. Does AppleCare cover cracked glass/LCD?


I've never had AppleCare before so I'm not sure what it is. I know it is an extended warranty, but is there a warranty card or something that needs to be shipped to you?

You can buy it at any time the original 1-year warranty is still valid. Once the original warranty is expired, you can no longer purchase AppleCare.

AppleCare will add an additional 2 years of warranty, for a total of 3 years.

It covers everything the original warranty covers, as well as associated products purchased at the same time. For example, if you buy an Apple Cinema Display or TimeCapsule at the same time you purchase the computer, it too will be covered under the 3-year warranty.

Cracked glass might or might not be covered. The same is true if you have only the one-year warranty. If the crack is deemed to be caused by the user, you are out of luck. If it is due to faulty glass/plastic, then it will be replaced under warranty.

Another advantage of AppleCare is that it can get you faster/better service, especially outside Korea... and, it is a global program, so you can use it in any country.
