AppleCare+ does support accidental damage. Schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar and Apple will tell you how much it will cost (there is a deductible you have to pay with AppleCare+).


You can get an idea from this link --> iPhone Repair and Service - Apple Support


And to schedule an appointment --> Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple

Does AppleCare cover the separation of the frame from the device?

Thank you

It covers accidental damage. Your phone may not be repairable. So AppleCare+ will for the deductible, likely provide a full replacement, which is typically a refurbished by Apple iPhone of the same model, color and storage capacity. Take it to Apple and they'll explain the options.

“I purchased it from an Apple authorized reseller in Saudi Arabia called Jarir Bookstore, as there is no official Apple Store in my country. I contacted Apple Support, who stated that an exception request would be submitted to Apple in the US, but it was rejected by them

On the grounds that the device is damaged and not covered by AppleCare based on the technical report due to the frame separation. I am now deeply frustrated, as this is my first incident in more than 15 years as a loyal customer of all Apple products.”
