Is AppleCare worth it for MacBook Air repairs?

AppleCare+ extends the standard warranty, provides no charge phone support for the length of the contract, and the cost repairs due to accidental damage with a deductible.

For me, it's worth it. I've gotten it on pretty much all of my Apple devices since it became available. I've only had to use it once and that was severe years ago on a phone with a broken display.

Do you think it’s worth getting AppleCare on Mac?

This is a question seeking opinions. Such questions are not permitted in the Apple Support Communities. Make your own purchase decision.

Also, does AppleCare cover the full cost of repairs or just reduce the amount?

For each repair, these fees may apply.

$99 for screen or enclosure accidental damage

$299 for other accidental damage

Keep in mind that MacBook components are quite tightly integrated in their manufacture.

The failure of even a small component - while fairly rare - can necessitate the changeout of a significant “chunk” of hardware.

(something I learned during a “keyboard” changeout)

I have always had AppleCare with every single Mac I have ever purchased.

I can assure you, once you actually use it, you will understand the value.

I highly recommend it 100% every time.

Never a doubt.

Good luck! 👋🏼😉

Yes, absolutely. You may need it and you may not. However if you have 1 repair done that will more than pay for your AppleCare.
