Let’s talk about the Apple Warranty—what it actually covers, where the gaps are, and whether you need to spend more money to protect your investment. Every new MacBook Pro comes with Apple’s One-Year Limited Warranty . It’s automatic. You don’t need to register anything.
Here’s the real difference:
| Issue | 1-Year Warranty | AppleCare+ | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Logic board fails (defect) | Free | Free | | Screen cracks from drop | Not covered (~$800+) | $99 service fee | | Liquid damage | Not covered (~$1,200+) | $299 service fee | | Battery under 80% capacity | Covered (if defect) | Free replacement | apple warranty on macbook pro
