I recently purchased a “Like New” M4 MacBook Air from Amazon UK, which was part of Amazon’s official resale program. When I made the purchase, there were still about 10 days left for me to buy AppleCare. While I couldn’t do it directly from the settings as I usually do, I managed to secure it through the Apple website after signing in to check my coverage. I completed the AppleCare purchase without any issues, receiving an email confirmation of my coverage right after.
I bought the laptop in mid-July, and it was clear that the MacBook had been initially purchased in late May. The renewal date displayed for my AppleCare was May 26th, 2026, given that I opted for the annual plan. This all seemed logical to me, and I was satisfied with it. However, yesterday, I noticed a change in the renewal date when I was looking for something else.
The renewal date shifted to July 18th, which was the day after I purchased AppleCare on July 17th. This caught me off guard, as I expected the renewal date to align with the original purchase date of the MacBook. Is this change in the renewal date typical? I assumed it would extend for one year from the original purchase date.
I’m hoping I am still covered under the AppleCare plan and that there’s nothing further I need to address.
