              Apple Expands AppleCare+ Signup Deadline to One Year

   Josh Centers

   Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that [1]Apple is extending the time
   after product purchase during which you can add AppleCare+, the
   company's extended warranty program that also covers damage.
   Previously, you had to buy [2]AppleCare+ at the time of purchase or
   very shortly afterward in an Apple Store. Apple later set the signup
   interval to 60 days, with no store visit required. Now, due to slowing
   sales of AppleCare+ in the wake of COVID-19, Apple is extending the
   signup deadline to a full year after purchase.
