No Apple Care on iphone in Canada(Rogers/fido)
Nickname: Erik Reitav Date: 7/24/08 22:40
I called FIDO today to enquire about the iphone. When I asked them about the warranty for the phone, they said it was for a year, but made no mention of an extended Apple Care warranty. They said that if the phone breaks down, I'd have to go to Apple to get it repaired. They also said that if it breaks down after the warranty expires, you'd still be on the hook for paying the contract for 3 years regardless of weather or not the phone lasts for 3 years. Upon further investigation, I went up to the Apple Canada site, and noticed they don't sell an Apple Care protection package for the iphone in Canada, while they DO in the US with Apple US through AT & T. After discovering this, there's NO WAY I'm buying an iphone without an Apple Care protection plan. Why didn't Rogers work out an Apple Care protection plan for their customers in Canada? Do they seriously think people are that stupid to buy an iphone without Apple Care, if it breaks down? My guess is that Apple didn't do this in Canada, because the Apple Care protection is for only 2 years(US AT & T). Given that we have to buy a plan for 3 years(Thanks TED!) we're screwed out of getting an extended warranty on the iphone. My advice would be to DON'T buy it without an Apple Care warranty! Poor Taste?

Rogers didn't work out an Applecare Protection Plan in Canada because they have no choice in if there is one. Apple will make that call. For the first iPhone in the States, it took more than 3 months for an Applecare Protection Plan to be released for it. Be patient. It will come. Apple won't have the iPhone in Canada their only major product without an Applecare plane

Simply Computing (www.simply.ca) sells a 2 year iPhone warranty extension in Canada for $79.99. The program started to address the concern about having a 3 year contract and only 1 year of warranty.

I bought 4 I-phones on Family Plan with Rogers approx.6 months ago. Purchased additional 2yr. warranty additionally for each. One developed "white-screen" issue and is no longer functional. Rogers claim they cover warranty, not Apple. Rogers willing to replace but not with new as purchased. Rogers says warranty on replacement phone to be balance of existing non-functional phone. I submit that replacement phone to be new, as originally purchased. Warranty on replacement to be 1 year from date of purchase. I feel strong case for Class Action Lawsuit.

Helllo All. Apple does supply extended warrenty with award winning 12h/365d technical service as well as hardware coverage, including the battery - YES in Canada. :) I have service with Telus and was delighted when my rep/sales person told me about the package for only $79 for a full two years of coverage. Here is the link for more information! http://www.telusmobility.com/en/AB/accessories/other_nkit1070.shtml

http://store.apple.com/ca/product/MC265LL/A Here is a link on apple's website to purchase their extended care for the iphone, I don't know why the reps at Rogers or Fido wouldn't have told you about it. This is for Canadian customers.
