AppleCare + de iPhones is now also accepted in Brazilian authorized assists

Imagine the following scenario: You traveled to the United States and took the opportunity to buy an iPhone there. Since the product now costs a small fortune to repair, you have also chosen to protect it by purchasing the AppleCare + (which, in addition to extending the smartphone warranty, also covers two screen changes and two accidental damages during the two-year period for US $ 30 and $ 100, respectively).

You came back to Brazil and a short time later dropped your beautiful phone with its back facing the floor. Result: rear window broken. The price to fix? Depending on the model (if it is an iPhone XS Max), it reaches $ 3,730! 😵

If you have an AppleCare + and live in Rio de Janeiro or So Paulo, you can simply set an appointment to be served at the Apple store and make the switch without a problem Apple doesn't sell AppleCare + for iPhone here in Brazil, but she honors this contract made abroad and makes the repair / exchange the device.

If you live in another city, it is complicated by the fact that only Apple's official stores handle such cases. Well, that was the scenario so far; Now that has changed happily, for the better!

O You have received information that Apple Authorized Service Centers are now accepting the repair / replacement of AppleCare-protected iPhones + information is confirmed to us by Apple's official support in Brazil.

Recalling that in the US there is a fee of $ 30 (for screen switching) and $ 100 (for device switching) for such cases; In Brazil and other countries where AppleCare + (not yet) marketed, Apple performs such repairs / exchanges without charge for bureaucracy / systemic issues.

The new change and many Apple Authorized Service Centers are not yet in the news, good to be clear; still, at least two confirmed the information to the and we were told that there is not even a fee charge (like Apple).
