CTOnews.com Sept. 25, Apple iPhone 14 / Pro series (except iPhone 14 Plus), Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch Ultra, Apple Watch SE 2, AirPods Pro 2 headphones and other new products have been put on sale.

Earlier this month, Apple quietly made some changes to its AppleCare+ plan, extending the warranty of its products and increasing coverage for accidental damage. Although AppleCare+ used to provide accidental damage service twice a year, Apple now says repairs are "unlimited".

Recently, Apple began sending emails to AppleCare+ customers to remind them of the change.

The email from Apple stresses once again that the devices covered by the AppleCare+ program can now be accidentally damaged by unlimited repairs, rather than supporting them only twice every 12 months. Of course, this is only supported if the subscription plan is valid.

Apple also said that the additional protection "at no extra charge", customers do not have to do anything to obtain unlimited protection against accidental damage.

"now, your AppleCare+ plan protects the insured equipment from unlimited accidental damage during the life of the plan (instead of supporting it twice every 12 months). Each event is subject to the applicable service charge. There is no extra charge for this extra protection, and the user does not have to do anything."

However, it is not clear whether Apple is serious about "unlimited maintenance" or whether the company has practical restrictions on preventing abuse.

CTOnews.com learned that the price of Apple's AppleCare+ varies from device to device, and customers can choose to pay monthly or full price. For iPhone 14tech AppleCare+, the monthly fee is $9.99 or the full price is $199. It is worth noting that even if you subscribe to AppleCare+, if your equipment needs to be repaired, you still have to pay a service charge to Apple.

According to Apple's website, "every iPhone can enjoy an one-year hardware warranty and 90 days of free phone technical support during a limited warranty." The AppleCare+ service plan for iPhone extends your service coverage and provides an unlimited number of accidental damage warranties with an appropriate service charge for each time: RMB 188for screen or glass back damage and RMB 628for other accidental damage. "

Apple also has a more expensive AppleCare+ plan that covers theft and loss. Although the plan has also been upgraded to unlimited maintenance, it still covers up to two thefts or losses a year.
