Apple Lowers Prices of AppleCare+ Plans for M1 MacBook Air and MacBook Pro

Apple today lowered the prices of AppleCare+ plans for MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro models equipped with the M1 chip. Coverage offered by the plans, as well as accidental damage fees, appear to remain unchanged.

In the United States, AppleCare+ for the MacBook Air (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/S9750LL/A/applecare-for-macbook-air) now costs $199, down from $249. The new price applies to both M1 and Intel-based MacBook Air models, although Apple no longer sells the Intel-based model directly.





For the 13-inch MacBook Pro, Apple has split AppleCare+ into two separate plans for the M1 and Intel-based models, with pricing for the M1 model lowered to $249 (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/S9733LL/A/applecare-for-13-inch-macbook-pro-m1), down from $269. Notably, the price of AppleCare+ for the Intel-based 13-inch MacBook Pro remains $269 (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/S9761LL/A/applecare-for-13-inch-macbook-pro-intel), so customers opting for the Apple silicon model now receive a slight discount.





The new lower prices are also available in other countries we've checked, such as Canada, with discounts varying based on the local currency.





Customers who recently purchased AppleCare+ for one of the affected MacBook models can contact Apple Support for assistance with cancelling their current AppleCare+ plan and purchasing a new one at the lower price, according to information obtained by MacRumors, but Apple did not provide a cutoff date for eligibility.





AppleCare+ for Mac provides up to two incidents of accidental damage protection every 12 months, each subject to a service fee of $99 for screen damage or external enclosure damage, or $299 for other damage. AppleCare+ also provides 24/7 priority access to Apple's technical support representatives by online chat or phone.<div class="linkback">Related Roundups: MacBook Air (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-air/), MacBook Pro 13" (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-pro-13/)</div><div class="linkback">Tag: AppleCare (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/applecare/)</div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: MacBook Air (Neutral) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#MacBook_Air), 13" MacBook Pro (Don't Buy) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#MacBook_Pro_13)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forums: MacBook Air (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/macbook-air.122), MacBook Pro (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/macbook-pro.90)</div>
