Apple standard warranty covers defect in materials or workmanship for the standard warranty period. in the US, that period is one year.
Regarding items made of glass:
if it survived being shipped halfway around the world from the factory in China and was delivered to to you without obvious visible defeats, Apple assumes it did not have defects when delivered to you. For that reason, glass breakage is NOT considered a defect under standard warranty.
--------
if you want coverage for glass breakage and many other items, the AppleCare Plus extended warranty is a great idea. Co-payments are required, but for many repairs, those co-payments are quite reasonable. You MUST purchase within 60 days of original receipt of your Mac, and if not purchased when you purchased you Mac, it MAY be subject to inspection.
The reason you must purchase promptly is that, if you could purchase at any time, only users with problems would purchase, and that would ruin the "insurance effect" and make the coverage impossibly expensive.
