Apple Repair Programs you should know about.

This means they are willing to extend their normal warranty to repair these specific issues. Sometimes they are willing to repair a unit even after five years. (Depending on the issue Apple has the right to tell if you if you qualify.

How to find out if your device qualifies?

  • Get the serial number for your device. It does not matter if you do not have the receipt. Apple will honour it even if you purchased it off eBay. (Assuming it is all original Parts)
  • Call AppleCare 1300-321-456.
  • Be nice to the Phone agents. (They get abused online a lot)
  • Understand your unit may not qualify because they fixed the issue with your model.
