Congratulations on your new iPhone (or new to you)! Whether you are investing in the latest iPhone 16 or a trusty iPhone 12, protecting your investment is important. Apple offers a standard one-year warranty, but what happens after that? This is where an extended warranty plan comes in.
Star Shield offers a variety of plans of iPhone’s Warranty to give you peace of mind and keep your iPhone functioning smoothly. Let’s explore which plan might be the best fit for you.
First, consider if you purchased a brand-new iPhone or a pre-owned one. Star Shield offers specific plans for each category.
Pre-owned iPhone Protection
- Star Shield Preowned 6 Months: This plan is ideal if you have recently purchased a pre-owned iPhone and want some initial coverage. It provides a safety net for unexpected malfunctions for the first six months of ownership.
- Star Shield preowned 12 Months: This plan offers a full year of peace of mind for your pre-owned iPhone. If you are unsure about the device’s history, this plan provides extended protection against potential hardware issues.
Brand New iPhone coverage
- Star Shield 1-Year Extended Warranty: The plan seamlessly extends your iPhone’s warranty coverage beyond the standard one-year offered by Apple. This is a great choice if you need comprehensive coverage of your brand-new iPhone.
- Star Shield 2-Year Extended Warranty: for ultimate peace of mind, consider a 2-year extended warranty. This plan offers an additional year of coverage after the standard Apple warranty expires, ensuring your iPhone is protected for a total of three years.
Beyond Standard Warranty
It is important to note that some plans, like Star Shield’s extended warranty plan, go beyond the standard Apple warranty. While the standard warranty covers manufacturer defects, extended warranty plans often cover additional issues, such as:
- Accidental Damage: A spill happened, and the phone got dropped. An extended warranty plan can provide coverage for accidental damage repair, saving you a significant amount on screen replacement or other repairs due to clumsiness.
- Battery issues: Over time, batteries lose their capacity. Some extended warranty plan covers battery replacement if the battery health falls below a certain threshold.
Choosing the Right Plan
- New vs. preowned: Pre-owned iPhones might benefit from a longer warranty period due to their unknown history.
- Risk tolerance: Are you prone to accidents: If so, a plan with accidental damage coverage is a wise investment.
- Budget: The extended warranty plan comes at an additional cost. Evaluate the cost of a plan against the potential repair costs you might face without coverage.
