AppleCare+ for iMac (M3) - 3-Year Protection Plan

For iMac (M3) owners who expect more than the standard one-year warranty, AppleCare+ extends coverage to three full years and adds accidental damage protection—something the base warranty simply doesn't include. This plan is built for the realities of daily use, from spilled coffee near the keyboard to unexpected hardware failures long after the initial purchase. It pairs Apple's own expert support with genuine parts and priority service, so your iMac stays running like new.

Highlights

• Extends hardware coverage to 3 years from the AppleCare+ purchase date
• Includes unlimited incidents of accidental damage protection, each subject to a service fee
• Priority access to Apple experts via chat or phone for macOS, iCloud, and Apple apps
• Covers Apple-branded accessories included in the iMac box
• Battery service included if capacity drops below 80% of original specification
• Transferable to a new owner, which can increase resale value

In daily use

Accidents happen—a child knocks over a drink, a pet trips a cable, or the screen gets scratched during a move. With AppleCare+, you're not facing a full repair bill. For screen or enclosure damage, the service fee is typically $99 USD; for other accidental damage, it's $299 USD. Hardware failures from manufacturing defects are covered at no additional cost beyond the plan price. Software questions? Apple's senior advisors can help with everything from setting up iCloud to troubleshooting macOS updates. The plan is linked to your iMac's serial number, so there's no physical card to keep track of—just register within 60 days of your iMac purchase and you're covered worldwide, subject to local terms.
