AppleCare+ Changes Introduced in Canada

As noted by MobileSyrup, monthly and annual AppleCare+ subscriptions are now available for a wider range of products in Canada, including the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, AirPods, HomePod, Studio Display, and Vision Pro.

AppleCare Bright Red
For example, AppleCare+ coverage for a Mac starts at $5.49 per month or $54.99 per year, with prices varying by model. For lower-priced devices like the Apple TV and HomePod, coverage is available for as little as $0.99 per month or $9.99 per year.

In some cases, you may pay more over the same period than you would with upfront AppleCare+ plans, which remain available.

AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss plans are still not available in Canada, and the AppleCare One bundle option has yet to expand to the country either.

Apple today listed its estimated repair fees for the iPhone Duo without AppleCare+ coverage, with the maximum fee in the U.S. for "other damage" set at $1,499.

Apple care isn’t worth anyways, like if your device really has a problem just upgrade to a new one…
I’ll remember you can buy me a new device if one of mine fails or breaks since it’s not an issue for you!!

Apple care isn’t worth anyways, like if your device really has a problem just upgrade to a new one… And I don’t think you will have any problems in the first 5 years ! Some upgrade every two years… Don’t forget the one year warranty !

I’m sorry, what? Not everyone has the money to just go out and buy a new e.g. iPhone or MacBook Pro if an issue with their existing one crops up. That is the point of AppleCare, to get a device fixed if anything happens to it, and sometimes if they don’t have parts available they will eat the cost of an outright replacement to a newer model for the customer, esp. in the case of MacBooks, and AC+ also has cheaper repair fees as you don’t have to pay the out of warranty service fees. And by the way, the limited warranty offered by Apple doesn’t cover much.

So despite what you may believe, AppleCare is worth it.

I checked a few systems on the Canadian Apple Store, and not seeing the 3 year option any more, only the monthly and yearly.
Also checked our Apple Business Manager, not seeing a way to manage AppleCare subscriptions which will be an issue if the 3 year packages are gone.

That's not an option for a lot of people. Apple stuff is considered a luxury item for a huge swathe of the global population.

What if I drop my $2000 MacBook? Should I just upgrade? I’d rather pay Apple care.
