Are you planning on getting an AppleCare protection plan for your Apple devices? Confused about what it covers and what it doesn't? Or maybe about the extent of the coverage? In this article, let us dive into discussing the AppleCare protection plan, its price in Nepal, and more. AppleCare In Nepal Overview
Although AppleCare is supposed to span a wide range of Apple devices, it only covers Macs in Nepal (as of today). iPhones do come with a free one-year breakage insurance but you can't purchase the Care or Care+ plan for them.
What is the AppleCare Protection Plan?
Starting off with the basics, AppleCare is an insurance policy that covers repairs or replacement of your Apple device (Apple Watch, HomePod, iPad including Apple Pencil, iPhone, Mac, and iPods) in the event of accidental damage or battery depletion. Moreover, there's also the added benefit of getting priority access to Apple's technical support. What is insured in Apple Care & Apple Care+ Protection Plan?
The AppleCare Protection Plan offered for MacBooks provides a warranty extension of 2 years. This plan does not cover physical or liquid damage but does insure against manufacturing defects and software issues. You might have to pay a small fee though which I'll talk about later.Additionally, there is an AppleCare+ option, which not only extends the warranty but also covers physical damage. This plan doesn't require the fee I talked about earlier. Instead, the minimum service charge is included in AppleCare+. Besides that, it doesn't cover theft or loss of property.
While AppleCare+ is not directly available in Nepal, it can be purchased through a third party in the US or another foreign country. These services can still be fulfilled in Nepal though, even if the purchase is not made locally.

AppleCare Price In Nepal: Conclusion
Apple products are some of the most popular and used products in the world. But they are on the pricey side and are often perceived as a symbol of luxury to many. As such, people don't want to risk breaking such expensive tech. Hence, why AppleCare has become such an appealing option to many. And although AppleCare is exclusive to Macs right now, it'll surely roll out to other Apple products in Nepal soon enough.
