It’s hard to knock an extra year of warranty coverage.
Apple on Tuesday emailed customers that had purchased a standard AppleCare warranty for their Apple TV devices to inform them their coverage had been extended from two years to three years.
Customers who purchased AppleCare for the Apple TV will be now receiving a total of three years of coverage based on the date that they original bought the plan. AppleCare for Apple TV end dates will be automatically adjusted.
Within the emails, Apple didn’t specify why the company was extending the AppleCare plans, although it’s that that because of the transition to AppleCare+ for Apple TV, which Apple made available alongside the launch of the second-generation Apple TV 4K.
The AppleCare+ plan for Apple TV offers three years of protection along with coverage for two incidents of accidental damage. The existing AppleCare plans that are being extended do not include accidental damage coverage.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
