AppleCare+ Price Hike: How Much More You’ll Pay for iPhone Protection in 2025

AppleCare+ Price Increases and Policy Changes

• Pricing Change: As of February 2025, the monthly cost for AppleCare+ subscriptions has increased by 50 cents in the United States.
• Plan Availability: The traditional paid upfront plan is now only available when purchasing a device online from Apple. It is no longer an option at retail stores or directly from the device itself.
• Impact: This affects both standard and Theft and Loss plans for iPhones, but other products remain unaffected.
• Context: The additional 50 cents per month is equivalent to half the cost of 50GB of iCloud storage, which is priced at 99 cents per month.
