Here Are All the Changes to AppleCare+ This Month

[MacRumors]

July has been a busy month for AppleCare+ news. We have recapped all the changes to AppleCare+ and the AppleCare One bundle below.

In the U.S., Apple raised the prices on monthly ‌and annual AppleCare‌+ subscription plans for Macs and iPads by $0.50/month and $5/year, respectively.

Monthly and annual AppleCare+ subscription plans expanded to a wider range of Apple products in Canada and Japan for the first time this month.

AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss plans for the iPad and Apple Watch expanded to five countries: Japan, Australia, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

AppleCare One is expanding too. Starting on Tuesday, August 4, it will be available in Australia, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

Introduced in the U.S. last year, AppleCare One covers up to three devices as part of a single monthly subscription, and the total cost can be lower than multiple AppleCare+ plans. In the United Kingdom, for example, Apple said customers can save up to £11.48/month vs. paying for three separate AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss plans.

Wish you could switch from monthly to annual plans. Asked Apple but it seems you're stuck with whatever you signed up with.

Disapointing to see price hikes for Apple services. Glad to see AppleCare One expanding. Hopefully it will be available in my country soon.

I think I've bought AppleCare for the last time. I never use it for as much as I paid for it, and even then, use is extremely rare.

However as an Apple shareholder I encourage all of you to buy it because it's almost pure profit for Apple.

So it's literally just a price increase for North America? Meanwhile I can't get my 81% battery health (just over 500 cycle) iPhone 15 PM from launch day's Battery replaced. It'll truly drop ~12% after a short phone call or uploading cellular data but "Passes all Apple's Tests". Good times...

I miss when you could just buy it outright, no subscription. Never gotten it for iPhone but I did for airpods but not anymore. Subscriptions can go the way of the dodo bird

I never had it back then but wasn't it basically the same thing? You'd just buy it outright for 3 years at one time? You can still do that yearly now.
