Apple is preparing to raise the cost of its AppleCare+ extended warranty subscription for new Mac and iPad owners. According to Bloomberg, the monthly fee for the service will increase by $0.50, while annual subscriptions will jump by $5. Users who have already subscribed will see no changes to their terms.
For example, the annual plan for a 13-inch MacBook Air will rise from $74.99 to $79.99. Apple previously increased AppleCare+ prices for iPhones last year. The company has not yet officially confirmed the price adjustment, and the new rates are not yet visible on its website.
AppleCare+ provides users with priority technical support and covers repair costs for devices, including accidental damage. The pricing changes may be linked to rising logistics and service costs, though Apple has not disclosed further details.
