The new Coverage section in Settings contains warranty and AppleCare+ information for your device and connected accessories such as AirPods.
- What’s happening? iOS 16.4 introduces a new Coverage page in the Settings app that lists coverage information for your device and eligible accessories.
- Why care? You can conveniently access this information in one place.
- What to do? Update your device when iOS 16.4 is released.
New Coverage section in the Settings app.
iOS and iPadOS 16.4 have a new Coverage page under Settings → General → About, with device warranty and AppleCare+ information in one place.
If you purchased additional AppleCare+ coverage for your iPhone or iPad, you’ll find details here in addition to Apple’s standard 1-year warranty. It does not provide coverage information for other devices, only for your current device.
You can also see coverage information for any connected accessories such as Apple Watch or AirPods. “Coverage shown only for this iPhone and Bluetooth-enabled devices that may be eligible for AppleCare+,” the description explains.
Prior to iOS 16.4, you could view limited device warranty information in Settings → General → About, but there was no dedicated Coverage section, and AppleCare information about connected accessories was not available.
This isn’t the only place you can view your current AppleCare+ plans.
