CelcomDigi has introduced Protect+ with AppleCare Services in Malaysia, giving customers a single monthly plan for an eligible iPhone and other Apple devices. Pricing starts from RM50 per month when customers purchase selected new iPhone models through the telco’s Easy360 instalment programme.
The plan is aimed at households and individuals with several Apple products. Customers can cover one device or add up to three more eligible devices, including selected iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods and Beats models, under the same subscription.
One plan can cover up to four Apple devices
Protect+ with AppleCare Services combines CelcomDigi’s device-protection offering with AppleCare Services. The announcement says subscribers can protect a single eligible device or bundle an iPhone with as many as three additional supported Apple devices.
The RM50 monthly figure is a starting price rather than a flat fee for every configuration. CelcomDigi has not detailed every eligible iPhone model, device combination or final subscription price in the release, so buyers should check the quotation and coverage terms for their chosen Easy360 purchase before signing up.
Accidental damage, Apple support and iPhone theft protection
Coverage includes repairs for accidental damage such as drops and liquid spills, along with 24/7 priority access to Apple experts and service through Apple-certified channels. Battery replacement is also included when capacity falls below the applicable service threshold, although the announcement does not specify that threshold.
CelcomDigi says the plan also provides theft and loss protection for the covered iPhone, with a like-for-like replacement when an approved claim is made. Subscribers can also swap eligible devices covered by the plan when needed.
As with any device-protection product, claim limits, service fees, exclusions, replacement availability and device eligibility can affect the actual benefit. These details were not fully set out in the supplied announcement and should be checked against the current Protect+ terms before purchase.
Available online and at CelcomDigi stores
Protect+ with AppleCare Services is available now through CelcomDigi’s website and online stores, as well as CelcomDigi retail outlets nationwide. It is tied to the purchase of selected new iPhones through Easy360, rather than being presented as a standalone plan for any existing Apple device.
For customers already considering an iPhone on instalment, the appeal is having Apple-backed support and protection for several devices on one monthly bill. The value will depend on which devices qualify, the final monthly premium and the claim conditions attached to the selected package.
