This Apple service is becoming more expensive (but not yet for everyone)

Apple has immediately increased the prices for this Apple service, but this does not yet apply in the Netherlands. You need to know this.

This Apple service is becoming more expensive

The Apple service that matters is AppleCare+. Apple has increased the prices for the monthly AppleCare+ subscription for the iPhone in the United States by 50 cents for all models. The standard AppleCare+ subscription for the iPhone 16 models now costs $ 10.49 per month (was $ 9.99 per month). The price increase of 50 cents applies to all available AppleCare+ plans for the current iPhone line-up from Apple and includes both the standard plan and the Theft and loss-plan.

The prices of the two -year AppleCare+ subscriptions, on the other hand, have not changed, just like the service costs and the deductible. The increased prices also only apply to monthly payment for the Apple service. Moreover, Apple has not yet increased the prices of AppleCare+ subscriptions for the iPad, Mac or Apple Watch.

The reason for the price increase

The price change for the monthly AppleCare+ iPhone subscriptions is because Apple is planning to shift the AppleCare+ purchase options to subscriptions. That is why the company has started the gradual abolition of one -off AppleCare+ services in all stores.

In the Apple Stores, customers who buy the Apple service can opt for a subscription to be extended a monthly or annually, so that the coverage no longer expires. Apple keeps the options for a one -time AppleCare+ purchase available for the time being in its own online store. This means that customers who prefer to buy a non-extensive AppleCare+ plan that ends after two years can still choose that.

The Netherlands follows?

Given the reason for the price increase of this Apple service, it is likely that the Netherlands and other countries will follow in the long term. When that will happen is still unclear. If that changes, you naturally read it immediately iPhoned!
