Apple limits AppleCare+ one-time payment options, prioritizes subscriptions


Apple has just changed AppleCare+ sales options for customers, limiting the availability of one-time purchases and prioritizing subscriptions.

As hinted over the weekend by Mark Gurman, Apple is discontinuing upfront payment options for AppleCare+ in stores and on devices, offering monthly or annual subscriptions only unless you buy online. AppleCare agents have been instructed to tell customers that the change is designed to lower upfront costs and prevent future gaps in coverage. The company is also prioritizing the pricier Theft and Loss plans, which allow customers to replace a lost device by paying a deductible.
