AppleCare is a great program for Apple customers, but it could soon be getting even better. At a recent town hall meeting held with AppleCare employees, Apple VP Tara Bunch laid out the changes that are in the works for the 30-million-customer AppleCare+ program. Apple plans to expand AppleCare+ beyond the current 14 nations of availability, though is being held up by local regulations.</p> <!--break--> <p>As reported by
9to5Mac, the time frame in which to purchase AppleCare+ will likely be expanded from the current 30 days to 60 days, and Apple has also considered a subscription version of AppleCare.</p> <p>Apple's also moving to significantly improve their online support offerings:</p>
<p>[
The company imagines] a time in which all Apple support will be solely handled through online resources, and the changes coming to the support service in the near-future indicate that Apple is serious about that belief. Apple is said to be developing new tools for customers to more easily self-diagnose and troubleshoot problems with Macs, iOS devices, and other Apple hardware, software, and services. Apple is also working on complete redesigns for the user-facing support tools website and discussion forums for debut later this year.</p> <p>Additionally, Apple is also said to be working to improve support for problems related to Apple ID, iTunes, and
iCloud, which combined account for a quarter of their technical support calls. That improved support could include better self-help tools for "trouble shooting minor annoyances such as password resets and login problems."</p> <p>Apple still is one of the world's leading companies when it comes to technical support, but what would you like to see them improve in their technical support systems?</p> <p>Source:
