Why am I not eligible for AppleCare Plus anymore?

That happened because the date you purchased AirPods is irrelevant to whether you are eligible to purchase AppleCare.

AppleCare is sold for iPhones, iPads, Macs, etc. It is not sold for AirPods.

Applecare plus is available for airpods pro.

How to buy

1. Purchase AppleCare+ with your new headphones.
2. Or buy it within 60 days of your headphones purchase:

• • At an Apple Store (inspection of headphones and proof of purchase are required)
  • By calling 800-275-2273 (requires you to run a remote diagnostic and provide proof of purchase)

Well I just tried to purchase apple care+ and I get the following message: "It looks like your device isn’t eligible for an AppleCare agreement." I purchased my airpods pro less than 60 days ago...

Any suggestions?

Ah, OK, thanks!

No problem.

I only know about it became I bought a pair and got applecare plus at an Apple store.

EarPods come with the iPhone so they are covered, the iPad doesn't include EarPods so no coverage there.

Certainly.

Read the article Johnathan Burger supplied above. It tells you how to complete the AppleCare purchase. Online purchasing appears to not be an option.

Thanks. I should have purchased with the airpods... oh well

Interesting. I thought (incorrectly) that the AirPods would be tacked on to AppleCare for an iPhone, iPad, etc., just as, say, EarPods are.

Apparently not.

The apple care plus is only available for Airpods pro and certain Beats headphones.

Has to be purchased separately.
