Q: Can I pay for Apple support after my three year Apple Protection Plan ends in June?

Can I continue to get  Apple support after my three year AppleCare plan has expired in June? I would be prepared to pay an annual fee as the support has been fantastic.

iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012)

    No.

    Warranty periods aren't forever.

    When your extended AppleCare ends in June, it ends.

    There is no longer any other warranty coverage, your coverage will end.

    Besides, you already paid Apple for your three year warranty period, anyways.

    Before it ends, you might want to bring your Mac into an Apple Store for one last complete diagnosis/checkup and internal cleaning.

    This is what I did before my 2009 iMac extended AppleCare ended.

    Sorry.

    Your country of residence may offer additional protection via Consumer Protection Legislation.  In the UK for example there are various pieces of Legislation that offer consumers additional rights to the warranty provided by the Seller.
