Every iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Mac comes with a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects and hardware failures. If you choose, you can also extend that warranty for additional years with AppleCare. Regardless of which warranty you have, you can easily find out whether or not your Apple products are currently covered.
Checking your AppleCare status for all your Apple devices requires you to know the serial number of the device — the one exception being your best iPhone. It"s pretty easy to find the serial number of any Apple device, and we will run you through how to do it for each Apple device.

Is AppleCare+ worth it?
You may be wondering if AppleCare+ is worth putting on your iPhone or other devices, and our advice would be to look into all the options you have for warranty before you make a decision.
Of course, the basic version of AppleCare (the one you don"t pay extra for) does not protect against any kind of accidental damage, so if you drop your iPhone and crack the screen, you won"t be covered without AppleCare+. However, that might not matter to you for a device like an Apple TV that doesn"t travel with you everywhere you go.
You don"t need AppleCare+ on all your devices, you can pick and choose which devices need the extra warranty based on how you use them.
