Can AppleCare+ help if my iPhone 15 Pro Max camera lens gets damaged accidentally


Yes, AppleCare+ can help cover accidental damage to the camera lens on your iPhone 15 Pro Max. Here are the key points:

- If you have AppleCare+, you can make an accidental damage claim for a cracked or damaged camera lens. This typically costs a $99 service fee[1][4].

- AppleCare+ covers accidental damage like drops and spills. So if you drop your phone and the camera lens gets scratched or shattered, it would be eligible for repair under your AppleCare+ plan[4].

- The repair process involves replacing just the damaged camera lens assembly. Apple technicians can swap out the cracked lens without replacing the entire rear glass panel[3][5].

- In some cases, if the damage is severe, Apple may replace the whole phone for the $99 service fee instead of just repairing the lens[3].

- You have up to 60 days after purchasing a new iPhone 15 Pro Max to add AppleCare+ coverage. So if you experience lens damage within that window, you can still get it covered[4].

So in summary, as long as you have an active AppleCare+ plan, accidental damage to the camera lens on your iPhone 15 Pro Max is repairable for a $99 service fee. The lens itself can be swapped out without replacing the entire phone.
