AppleCare+ for New iPad Air Costs $69, Same Price as 9.7-Inch iPad and iPad Mini
(MacRumors iPhone)

Despite starting at a higher price of $499, the new 10.5-inch iPad Air released today qualifies for the same $69 tier of AppleCare+ as 9.7-inch iPad and iPad mini models. AppleCare+ for the latest iPad Pro models remains $129. AppleCare+ is an optional warranty plan that extends the iPad Air`s warranty period to two years from the original purchase date of the device, and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a service fee of $49 plus applicable taxes in the United States. Prices vary elsewhere. The plan also covers accidental damage to the Apple Pencil for up to two years with a $29 fee plus tax per incident. AppleCare+ provides 24/7 priority access to support advisors via online chat or phone for up to two years after the iPad Air`s original purchase date. Without the plan, iPad Air owners are covered by Apple`s limited one-year warranty and an initial 90 days of complimentary telephone support. AppleCare+ for the new iPad Air can also be financed with monthly payments of $3.49 for up to 24 months. Apple will charge a fee of $249 for accidental damage to the new iPad Air without AppleCare+, so as with most forms of insurance, the plan can pay for itself if ever used. AppleCare+ must be added within 60 days of purchasing a device.Tag: AppleCareThis article, "AppleCare+ for New iPad Air Costs $69, Same Price as 9.7-Inch iPad and iPad Mini" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
