What Others Say
Mac's iPod Warranty... unfortunately, not worth it.
Extremely vague about everything one would associate with today's standard extended warenty: especially if you have an extended warranty on a Mac computer.
Local Mac store salesman admits battery warranty as a "grey area", where my iPod was purchased. I was never told, in a concise way, what was covered in terms of the battery life after one year. Salesman mentioned a battery can go dead after a year... but a service tech would decide if this occurred under "normal" use. To me, this is a very slippery slope to leave to a tech. What history does one have to prove to warrant a covered battery replacement?
Accidents are not covered. An accidental drop on your floor isn't covered. Nothing compared to most insurance plans... ... Read More
Highly recommended
Apple is a brilliant company, but their tech support is a bit stiff, frankly. I would highly recommend this. I've had to use it a couple of times, and it's been a lifesaver. You'll need it so just get it.
Caveat emptor
I am always leery about paying extra for so-called extended warranty/protection plans for electronic goods, as for the most part, the products last longer than the time frame that is covered. However, I did relent to buying this because I had read the coverage was a worthy investment for those who use iPods a lot (i.e., like an everyday item or so). So soon after I bought a new iPod, I purchased the protection plan from Apple's website.
Needless to say, I missed one little bit of fine print about exactly what is covered, or rather, what is NOT covered. As it turns out, I found that their LCD screen is not very hardy, and apparently, too expensive to replace or repair. I'm not referring to the early Nano models that got scratched ... Read More
Well worth the price
Granted, I would never spend $59 to cover a $79 iPod Shuffle... but for any of the other iPods over $200, it's a good deal... and here's why.
Out of the box, you get a one year limited warranty. In the first 90 days of this out-of-the-box warranty, you can call Apple once for a general question - like "how do I speed up this track" or "tell me how in the hell to use this infernal gadget!" - but after that, it's $49 per call... unless there is something technically wrong, then the call is free. It is a toll-free #.
The one year limited warranty is a 2-parter. In the first 6 months of this warranty (this is where reading the fine print really helps), you can contact AppleCare or go to an Apple Retail Store if your iPod is ... Read More
Well worth it!
Although it may seem like anouther expense when you buy your iPod, it is well worth the price! I had a 1st gen iPod Nano that was a year old and had so many scratches on it! My battery was also starting to not hold a charge so I sent it back expecting them to replace the battery and send me back my old iPod.
Instead, they sent me back a fully functional new iPod Nano. Thats a 200 dollar value! It sure saves you money!
