Why was this brought back? The links are still qualified as a sales brochure which WP is not. JasonHockeyGuy (talk) 20:28, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, this article is completely odd. For starters, the products being covered are not called "AppleCare". AppleCare is the customer support in general, not the extended coverage products. The protection plan has only been around since the late 90s (if memory serves), and is available in Latin America (which incidentally is not a country). It is available in some countries that lack an Apple office. It's not technically an extended warranty. The article pretty much requires a complete rewrite, but I'd question whether it's notable enough to have its own article. -Concernedresident's butler ^{OMG!

It's perfectly notable, as it's a service Apple offer, not just a hardware goods policy, as with most other goods bought in shops. AppleCare being the service, with one having to buy an AppleCare Protection Plan when buying an Apple

Intro section needs to be rewritten to comply with WP intro style guidelines

The intro does not comply with the standard format for WP article intro section. The intro should explain what Applecare is in the first sentence, such "Applecare is....". Since the term Applecare seems to refer to a number of services relating to warranties and support services for Apple products, we need to explain how the name Applecare has been used at apple. Currently the name Applecare seem to be how Apple refers to all support services including those covered under the standard warranty provide on all Apple products as required by law (one year in the U.S., varies in other countries)) as well as the extended warranty program they provide, know as the AppleCare Protection Plan, which you can purchase at the time of the original purchase or anytime up until the standard warranty expires (one year in the U.S.). Applecare Extended service, a more limited support plan provide to countries without all the support services that other countries have, is also a part of the Applecare program. Thus the intro needs to be rewritten to explain that Applecare refers to the whole warranty and support program in all countries where Apple products are officially sold and that it includes the both standard warranty support and extended warranty support programs. Now if there are still any questions whether Applecare, as a technical and warranty support program, deserves it's own article separate from articles on regular and extended warranties in general, then please present arguments for or against in the talk page. --50.152.139.176 (talk) 19:23, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirected

Since this was not based on reliable secondary sources, I have redirected it to the parent article. If someone wants to write a reliably-soured article about AppleCare, that can probably be done, but merely summarizing what Apple has to say about itself is not the way to do it.
