Apple is raising the price of some AppleCare+ subscription plans, reports Bloomberg. Monthly AppleCare+ plans for Mac and iPad now cost $0.50 more in the US, while annual plans cost $5 more.
The price increases apply to new subscriptions, so customers who already have an AppleCare+ subscription for a device will maintain their current prices.
The AppleCare+ price change follows price increases on all iPads and Macs due to global memory shortages and rising component costs. Price increases range from $100 to $1,300.
Apple did not increase the price of its AppleCare One subscription plan rolled out last year. AppleCare One covers up to three Apple devices with a fee of $19.99 per month. Additional products can be added to AppleCare One for $5.99 per month.
Apple previously increased iPhone AppleCare+ plans by 50 cents in early 2025, and prices could rise again when the new iPhones launch in September.
