Feels like legal fraud
I broke the back glass of my phone 12pro a month ago and i have the premium device protection plan so I went to rogers store they sent me to apple service centre and the guy told me my phone is not covered with apple care.
So I called rogers they transferred me to apple care and after 15 days of their research I found out that my phone have different IMEI no. than the IMEI registered on premium protection plan and when i called the customer care after talking about the issue supervisor told me that they can not do anything about it because there so such thing happen before and they don’t know what to do about it.
My phone is on lease I am paying monthly instalment of my phone including 19$ of premium protection plan for almost last 2 years and now I am in a situation where I have broken phone with upfront payment of 562$ and the insurance is not able to cover it. So, i have to pay 900$ to fix it plus 562$ and I already paying 50$ every month for last 22 months.
I don’t know what is the solution for this and this phone ends up costing me over 2500$.
I bought this phone on 2 October 2021 in person from rogers store.

If broken glass is not covered under apple care then its not covered no matter how many times you call or escalate the issue, why not just pay the apple technician to replace the broken glass and move on? yes its an inconvenience but its part of owning such a very popular in demand flagship phone. You can ask the apple people what your apple care covers if you have one of those peoblems it will probably be covered. Also speak to the rogers office of the president, they can fix the imei on your account

Let's start at the beginning, with your visit to the Apple service centre. What did the person check to determine that your phone was not covered by Apple Care? Did he simply take your phone and look at the serial number on the back of the phone (next to IC letters, perhaps), or did he check your phone settings for the IMEI and serial numbers?
Does your Rogers bill include the phone's serial # or IMEI # ?
Have you ever had your phone repaired before, and you were sent a replacement phone (which would have a different IMEI and serial number that might have been referenced on your file - perhaps causing this mixup)?
When you called Apple, how did Apple determine that your IMEI # wasn't the same one on file? If you were asked to tell them the IMEI # (by checking the settings), why couldn't they tell you right away that the IMEI numbers were different? Waiting 15 days for that information is ridiculous!
Perhaps the phone sold to you was in the wrong box, with a different serial number on it (than your actual phone).
Perhaps the Rogers store simply entered the wrong information into your file at the time of your purchase.
With all of these questions that I have for you, it's not surprising that the Rogers supervisor simply gave up.
Once you know, or think you know, some of the answers to my questions, you might be closer to getting this resolved by Apple, or with the help of a different Rogers Supervisor, and perhaps with the help of an Office of the President agent.
Instead of calling Rogers, you can reach a Supervisor by simply scrolling down the page to "Contact Us" and then after clicking it, and arriving on another page, scroll down near the bottom to "Share a Concern" and click it. Then simply summarize your post and wait for a response (hopefully within 3 business days).
You paid your insurance fee each month, so hopefully Apple will be able to sort this mess out. If not, you might have to file a complaint with CCTS.
Sincerely,
Tim Apple
