240 views

After 2 years, AppleCare+ coverage for your device concludes unless you've chosen the monthly plan in regions where it's available, which allows continuing the coverage beyond this period. Once expired, you won't have access to Apple's reduced fee for device services or comprehensive protection against accidental damage. However, you can still utilize Apple's out-of-warranty service, albeit at higher costs. For ongoing coverage, evaluating extended warranty options or insurance through third-party providers is advisable.
