I bought an iPad mini from meijer and I was wanting to buy apple care for it at the apple store. If i purchased apple care and had a problem with my ipad down the road would i take my iPad to meijer or to the apple store for repair and service?
iPad, iOS 6.1
Apple.
Apple does not repair iOS devices, they replace them.
So even though i purchased the device at meijer, with apple care my device is in Apples hands?
AppleCare needs to be purchase within the first 30 days from origional date of purchase.
You can bring it to an Apple store or AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) in order to not void the warranty in the event you need to use AppleCare.
Generally, you have two possibilities open to you. Let's say Meijer has a 90 day return policy. If your iPad messes up in those 90 days then you can return it to them and exchange it for another one. (or whatever their policy is). Beyond that point, for the rest of your warranty, you have to deal with Apple.
If you'd purchased your iPad from the Apple store, then the only place you could deal with is them.
and yes, let's say at 180 days your iPad malfunctions and you take it to the apple store, they exchange your malfunctioning one for a refurbished replacement.
Thank you very much this cleared my confusion =)
