AppleCare+ Language is Contradictory
EDIT: It's all good. (I'd delete this post but that option isn't appearing.) I just called and the phone wait (11 min) was longer than the purchase process. That language below about spills and drops not being covered is indeed the regular AC plan, not the AC+. And I did not have to present my phone for proof that it's not damaged. Wrapped it up in a few minutes over the phone. *fingers crossed I'm not klutzy with this one*
------------------------------
So I was going to purchase AppleCare +. (Purely based on experience. Dropped my Curve in a bucket of water when it slipped out of my pocket; dropped my brand new Tour on the concrete and pinged it, which is irrelevant because i4S cosmetic damage isn't covered; somehow put a small chip in my Bold screen + accidentally leaned against it and put a keyboard light out + almost rolled an ATV on it. So in a nutshell, graceful I am not.)
Today is the last day for me. Apple says you have to purchase by today if you just found this, dated 10/13/2011, the day before launch of the i4S: iPhone and iPod: Liquid damage is not covered by warranty
If an iPhone or iPod has been damaged by liquid
(for example, coffee or a soft drink), the service for such liquid damage is not covered by the Apple one (1) year limited warranty or an AppleCare Protection Plan (APP). iPhone models and iPod models that were built after 2006 have built-in Liquid Contact Indicators that will show (as described below) whether the device has been in contact with water or a liquid containing water....Products Affected iPhone...[no model indicated]
By using the word "an" AppleCare Protection Plan, are they leaving that wide open for any plan? Or, since they didn't put the "+" after AppleCare, does that mean they are referring only to the former APP? Admittedly I've had little sleep so am about as sharp as a box of rocks today, but what's up with that? :confused:
I might be SOL anyway, someone on a blog comment said they had to physically go in and show the phone was damage-free before Apple would cover it. Not gonna happen today.
