AppleCare Plus Prices Increase for New Mac and iPad Subscribers

AppleCare Plus Subscription Prices to Increase for New Sign-Ups

Apple is set to raise the prices of AppleCare Plus subscriptions for Mac and iPad users, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The new pricing structure is expected to see a $0.50 increase per month or $5 per year for new subscribers. This change is a follow-up to a similar price hike on iPhone AppleCare Plus plans last year.

Under the revised pricing, AppleCare Plus plans for new devices will see an increase. For instance, a plan for a 13-inch MacBook Air will rise to $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year, up from $7.49 per month or $74.99 per year. Existing subscribers will not be affected by this price increase. However, the new pricing has yet to be reflected on Apple's website in the US or in their terms of service. Apple has not commented on the matter, despite a request for clarification.

The exact timing and implementation details of the price hike remain unclear, but it appears to be a gradual adjustment to the existing pricing structure. As Apple continues to update its product offerings and services, customers can expect to see changes to its pricing and subscription plans.
