Streaming services aren't the only ones seeing prices creeping up these days. This week Apple raised the monthly cost of AppleCare Plus, its insurance policy and tech support plan, by 50 cents on all iPhones for U.S. customers, as first spotted by MacRumors.
A new 50-cent price hike applies to both standard AppleCare Plus plans and Apple Care Plus with Theft and Loss, which, as you might have guessed by the name, covers the loss or theft of your device up to two times per year. So for instance, to get a standard AppleCare Plus plan for an iPhone 16 Plus will now run you $10.49 per month, up from $9.99. Subscription prices for other Apple devices like the best iPads or Macs remain unaffected.
