What does the limited warranty for Apple products primarily cover?

The limited warranty for Apple products primarily covers hardware defects, ensuring that the device is free from manufacturing issues and flaws in craftsmanship. This warranty is a promise from Apple to repair or replace any defective part of the hardware within a specified period after purchase. It specifically addresses problems that affect the performance or functionality of the device due to issues inherent to the manufacturing process.

In contrast, coverage for accidental damage or personal damages generally falls outside the parameters of the limited warranty. Likewise, while software issues might be addressed through different types of support or troubleshooting, they are not part of the hardware warranty coverage, which focuses on physical integrity and performance of the device rather than software-related problems.
