AppleCare+ gets price bumps for new iPads and Macs

AppleCare+ is Apple’s extended warranty and device protection service. It offers additional hardware coverage, technical support, and repairs for accidental damage.

Today, as spotted by Bloomberg, Apple increased AppleCare+ prices for Macs and iPads by 50 cents per month and $5 per year.
