Apple raises the cost of AppleCare+ for new Mac and iPad customers, according to reports citing Bloomberg. The change increases monthly AppleCare+ subscription prices by $0.50 and annual plans by $5 in the United States. The increase applies only to customers signing up for AppleCare+ going forward; existing AppleCare+ subscribers keep their current pricing for their covered devices. Multiple outlets describe the shift as part of a broader pattern of Apple price increases that has affected iPads and Macs due to higher component costs and a global memory shortage, with Bloomberg also attributing the latest adjustment to those pressures. Reporting also notes that AppleCare One, a separate multi-device plan launched in July 2025, is not affected by the AppleCare+ price change. AppleCare One is described as starting at $19.99 per month for up to three devices, with additional devices priced separately. Apple has not raised the AppleCare One subscription price in connection with this latest AppleCare+ adjustment. AppleCare+ price changes are limited to certain new sign-ups, while current plan holders are not immediately impacted.

- Apple increases AppleCare+ monthly subscription prices for new Mac and iPad customers by $0.50 in the U.S.
- Apple increases AppleCare+ annual plan prices by $5 for new sign-ups.
- Existing AppleCare+ subscribers keep their current prices; the increase applies to new subscriptions.
- Reports link the AppleCare+ increase to broader cost pressures, including component costs and a global memory shortage.
- AppleCare One pricing is not reported to change; it starts at $19.99 per month in the U.S. and covers up to three devices.
While the monthly and annual prices of AppleCare+ plans for Macs and iPads received a slight increase this week, AppleCare One continues to start at $19.99 per month in the U.S., making the multi-device plan even more valuable. Launched in July 2025, AppleCare One allows you to cover up to three devices as part of a single subscription for $19.99 per month, and additional devices can be added for $5.99 each. AppleCare One offers repairs for accidental damage, 24/7 priority tech support, and theft and loss protection for the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. If you have an iPhone 17 Pro, a MacBook Air with an M5 chip, and an iPad mini with an A17 Pro chip, for example, AppleCare+ plans with theft and loss coverage where applicable can cost up to $26.97 per month for those devices in total. As mentioned, AppleCare One still costs $19.99 per month, so you can save $6.98 per month in this scenario. Notably, you can add Apple devices that you already own to an AppleCare One plan, so long as they are in good condition and less than four years old. A diagnostic check and/or inspection may be required to verify a device's condition. AppleCare One remains available in the U.S. only.

1 month agoApple is increasing the price of some AppleCare+ subscription plans, reports Bloomberg. Monthly AppleCare+ subscription plans for Macs and iPads are now $0.50 more expensive in the U.S., while annual plans are $5 more. The price increases apply to new subscriptions, so customers who already have an AppleCare+ subscription for a device will keep their current prices. The AppleCare+ pricing change follows price hikes on all iPads and Macs due to global memory shortages and increasing component costs. Price increases range from $100 to $1,300.
