Second-hand iPhone 17 Pro Max shows AppleCare+ until 2033 — what should I tell my uncle?
Hey Reddit, my uncle (not very tech-savvy) went out and bought a second-hand iPhone 17 Pro Max while I wasn’t home. I just checked the AppleCare+ coverage online, and it shows it expires on 2 October 2033. The model number is MFYA4J/A, which seems to be the Indian variant.
All I know is that AppleCare+ is not sold as a 7-year plan Apple limits coverage to 2 years.
What should I tell him to check with the shop he bought it from? Should he carry the bill and box when asking? What questions should he ask to confirm the coverage is real before relying on it?
Any advice would be really helpful.
