Apple Expands AppleCare+ In India: New Plans, Theft & Loss Coverage, And Flexible Subscriptions Now Available

Apple is giving iPhone users in India a much broader safety net. Along with a significant addition—AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss—the company has extended its AppleCare+ programme with new monthly and annual subscription options.  Instead of being restricted to set multi-year plans, users can now choose exactly how long they wish to remain covered for the first time. This expansion also makes premium protection more accessible, since customers can buy a plan directly from the Settings app and have coverage start instantly. With accidental damage protection, expert support and now the option to safeguard against theft or loss, Apple is positioning AppleCare+ as a more flexible and more complete solution for Indian customers.

AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss Comes to India

The headline update is the arrival of AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss — Apple’s most comprehensive protection plan for iPhone. The coverage includes up to two incidents of theft or loss every 12 months, on top of the usual AppleCare+ accidental damage benefits.
