AppleCare Plus may soon say goodbye to multi-year prepaid plans and hello to subscriptions

If you buy an Apple device, you have the option of adding AppleCare Plus, a device protection plan, to your purchase just in case you run into a problem. Currently, you can buy a two- to three-year prepaid plan at a physical retail store or online within 60 days. But it looks like Apple may soon only offer this option online.

In an X (formerly Twitter) post, Apple expert Mark Gurman claims that a change is coming to AppleCare Plus. He says the tech giant plans to drop “the 2-3 year pay in advance option at physical retail stores and on devices.” It seems that this change is expected to happen as soon as next week.
