Cancelling AppleCare+ depends on how you purchased your coverage. This guide covers cancellation through Apple directly, app stores, and third-party retailers. The process varies based on whether you bought coverage when purchasing your device or added it later.
AppleCare+ can be purchased directly from Apple, through carriers, or third-party retailers. If you bought coverage through a carrier or retailer, you'll need to cancel through them instead of Apple. Check your purchase confirmation to identify your billing source.
These steps work for AppleCare+ purchased directly from Apple. If you bought coverage through a carrier or retailer, contact them instead.
