- AppleCare+ with theft and loss coverage is available in France and more

We know that Apple officially has an "accidental damage insurance" service, which is AppleCare+. After purchasing, even if your iPhone breaks the case or screen, you can get an official after-sales repair or replacement for a small amount of money, which is much more cost-effective than direct after-sales.

Previously, AppleCare+ services in the US, Australia, Germany, Japan and the UK included Accidental Damage Coverage and Theft/Loss Coverage. "Accidental Damage Insurance" is the service we enjoy after purchasing AC+, so what is "Theft/Loss Insurance"?

Simply put, the "theft/loss insurance" includes all the services of the normal AC+, plus additional loss event coverage twice a year.

Taking the iPhone 13 as an example, you need to pay $219 (about 1,479 yuan) to purchase this service for 2 years. If your phone is stolen or lost, you only need to pay another $149 (about 1,000 yuan), and Apple will directly compensate you. Yes, 2 chances every 12 months.

The service is now available in France, Italy and Spain. Until now, Apple will only offer accidental damage insurance to users in these countries.
