Hello. This depends on the type of AppleCare you have. Normal AppleCare+ does not cover theft or loss. AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss, however, provides coverage for up to two incidents of theft or loss coverage every 12 months. Please note that AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss is only available for iPhones and not iPads.


For more information on AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss, please see the webpage here.
