How to check the AppleCare warranty status for your iPhone, iPad, Watch, TV, or Mac

Checking the serial number on Mac

Checking the status of an AppleCare warranty, and how long is left on your plan, can be a bit confusing. We're here to help you find the details you need, so that your device is always covered in the case of damage or theft.

Whether you've got a top-of-the-line MacBook or an entry-level iPhone, there's no denying that Apple products are expensive — and getting them repaired can be a steep expense on top of that too if you're unlucky enough to have something go wrong. AppleCare+ is Apple's extended warranty service for its devices, covering at cost many common faults and problems, and can be a real wallet-saver in the event of disaster for your devices. It starts at $3.99 for basic monthly coverage for an iPhone SE 3rd generation, and rises in line with the value of your Apple device, and the level of coverage you're looking to get.
