Apple this week increased the prices for its monthly AppleCare+ subscription prices for the iPhone, raising the cost by 50 cents for all models in the United States.
Standard ?AppleCare?+ for the iPhone 16 models is now priced at $10.49 per month, for example, up from the prior $9.99 per month price. The 50 cent price increase applies to all available ?AppleCare?+ plans for Apple’s current ?iPhone? lineup, and it includes both the standard plan and the Theft and Loss plan.
The two-year ?AppleCare?+ subscription prices have not changed, nor have the service fees and deductibles. The increased prices are only applicable when paying for ?AppleCare?+ on a monthly basis.
Apple has not raised the prices of ?AppleCare?+ subscription plans for the iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch.
Apple’s price tweak for ?iPhone? ?AppleCare?+ monthly subscriptions come as it prepares to shift ?AppleCare?+ purchasing options to subscriptions. Apple is phasing out one-time purchase ?AppleCare?+ plans in retail stores as of this week.
In Apple Stores, customers who make a purchase will have the option to purchase ?AppleCare?+ as a monthly or annual subscription that renews, which eliminates any lapse in coverage and provides Apple with ongoing revenue after a two-year period.
Apple is keeping one-time ?AppleCare?+ purchase options available in its online store for the time being, so customers who prefer buy a non-renewing ?AppleCare?+ plan that expires at the end of two years can still opt for that.Tag: AppleCareThis article, “Apple Raises Monthly AppleCare+ Subscription Price for All iPhones” first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
