Apple Preparing to Upgrade AppleCare with 24/7 Chat Support, Revamped Website

Apple is preparing to launch several enhancements to its AppleCare services including 24/7 access to chat support services, reports 9to5Mac . The company is reportedly planning to launch the expanded chat services on August 12, although that target date may not yet be firm.   Alongside the expanded chat services, Apple will also be launching a redesigned AppleCare support website, featuring large, easy-to-click buttons similar to those that have appeared in other areas of the company's site.The interface has been retooled with large, easy-to-understand controls that are more in line with the colorful icons in iOS. The new design makes it simpler for users to drill-down and provide Apple with information about the issue.  Apple is in the middle of a significant revamp of its AppleCare services, making plans to shift to per-user subscription offerings rather than specific device coverage. The company is also making a move to perform more repairs rather than replacements on iPhones at its retail store Genius Bars, as seen with the new iPhone 5 display replacement program.   Recent Mac and iOS Blog Stories • John Carmack Joins Oculus VR as Chief Technology Officer • Vodafone UK Announces 4G Service, Rollout Begins August 29 • 'Boundless' Launches for iOS, Offers Free Alternatives to Assigned Textbooks  • Popular Messaging App WhatsApp Adding One-Tap Voice Messaging • Apple Retail Stores Offering Discounts on Select Accessories Through August • Twitter Updated with Login Verification Improvements, New Photo Viewing Options • Twelve South Releases Adjustable HiRise Stand for iPhone 5 and iPad Mini • Vox Music Player Launches on the Mac App Store, Free Upgrade for MacRumors Readers
