Apple is offering customers who have had to undergo costly repairs on their iPhone or Mac a second chance to purchase AppleCare+ insurance for the device, but with some conditions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an internal memo shared with MacRumors leaked<\/a> Apple users who get their iPhone or Mac repaired at the Apple Store or an authorized service provider can get a second chance to purchase AppleCare+. The caveat is that the product still has its original one-year warranty and the device must pass inspection. MacRumors gives an example of how this second chance works for those who plan to purchase AppleCare+:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second chance to purchase AppleCare+: Also in Germany<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

An example scenario: A customer named John purchases a new iPhone but decides not to pay for AppleCare+ coverage for the device. A few months later, John drops the iPhone and the screen cracks. John takes the iPhone to an Apple Store to have it repaired. Because he chose not to purchase AppleCare+, he incurs a large out-of-warranty service charge. Because the iPhone is less than a year old, John is advised that he can still purchase AppleCare+ for the device so that future repairs are not as expensive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The US blog notes that this rule applies to all regions where AppleCare+ is currently available and that any repairs before AppleCare+ is paid for will be charged in full, including in this country. (Photo by Unsplash \/ Joel Rohland)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
