I just looked at the Apple Store to price out a new iPhone 17 pro max. It appears there is no option for a two year plan (that does not include a subscription). Just thought I would mention it since it surprised me and no one seems to have discussed the change yet. Definitely disappointing to me.
Got a tip for us?

I think this was discussed when Apple Care One was introduced ...
Can someone with AC One tell me if I can only put my iPhone and iPad on it or can I have my iPhone, my iPad and my wife’s iPhone?
I have AC One... it only _offers_ to add devices that are on my Apple ID, but I'm not sure if there is a manual enrollment option.
This.
Though if one shops around, might be able to find "plain" AC+. But might come with conditions like carrier lock. Did not dig deep but 16s from Best Buy still offer AC+ but are tied to carriers. Just bought a Mac a couple of week ago from them and it still had AC+ vs needing to get Apple Care One.
Carrier deals, when they pop up, might be able to get AC+ there as well.
ADD: for example, BB 16e unlocked:
