There are a few options to extend the warranty on your iPhone 15 Pro Max:
Purchase an Extended Warranty Plan
Some third-party providers offer extended warranty plans that cover your iPhone 15 Pro Max for an additional period beyond the standard one-year limited warranty from Apple. These plans typically cost $99-$199 and can extend coverage to 2-3 years total[1][3][5].
Key benefits of extended warranty plans include:
- Coverage for hardware defects and some accidental damage (but not water damage)[1][3]
- Battery replacement[1]
- Convenient repair options like mail-in service[1]
Activate AppleCare+
AppleCare+ is Apple's extended warranty and accidental damage coverage plan. It extends your warranty to 2 years and provides up to 2 incidents of accidental damage coverage every 12 months[2].
To activate AppleCare+, you must do so within 60 days of purchasing your iPhone 15 Pro Max. The cost is $9.99/month or $199 upfront[2].
Purchase Extended Warranty Within 12 Months
Some extended warranty providers allow you to purchase an additional 1-year warranty within the first 12 months of owning your iPhone 15 Pro Max[3][5]. This extends the total warranty period to 2 years.
The key is to act quickly, as these extended warranty options are time-sensitive. Purchasing an extended warranty is a smart way to protect your iPhone investment and have peace of mind knowing your device is covered.
