Well, Apple, you can’t blame AppleCare price hikes on memory and storage shortages

Well, Apple, you can’t blame AppleCare price hikes on memory and storage shortages.

Really, Apple? After drastic price hikes on Macs and iPads, you’re 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. And you can’t blame these price hikes on memory and storage shortages.

The price increases apply to new subscriptions. So, at least, folks who already have an ‌AppleCare‌+ subscription for a device will keep their current prices. And Apple hasn’t raised the price of its ‌AppleCare‌ One subscription plan.Yet.

I hope you’ll help support Apple World Today by becoming a patron. Almost all our income is from Patreon support and sponsored posts. Patreon pricing ranges from $2 to $10 a month. Thanks in advance for your support.
