Renewable AppleCare+ for Mac Studio ... how many times can it renewed beyond 3 years, and what is annual cost?

[katewes]

Ever since March 8, 2022 the new AppleCare+ now can be "renewed annually" even beyond 3 years presumably. But I cannot find out specifically how many times it can be renewed?

Also, I cannot see information about how much it costs to renew annually beyond the previous 3 year point.

Can someone point me to where I can see this information?

I haven't found the limit either. My 2018 iPad Pro renews monthly for about 8 bucks. the thing I often wonder, is that at some point you'd think apple would stop letting me cover an older iPad, because in the event of a device replacement need, they might have to upgrade me.

Other than the link you showed, I can’t find a real answer to that either. Considering I still have and use a 2012 Mac mini and a 2014 MacBook Pro 15”, they can last a long time, and usually do. So it would be nice to get AppleCare+ beyond 3 years if the device is still valuable enough to justify it. Apple is really bad about being cryptic about things, so it is tough to find any answers. I just ordered a MacBook Air M1 with 8x8 cores, 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD, so I will definitely get the 3 year plan, but it might not be worth a renewal after 3 years depending on what the coverage would be and how much value it still has. But at this point I have no clue if I can even get coverage after 3 years.

As long as you you sign up for it, it’s for as long as you want from what I’ve been told.

Apple offered 4 and 5 year AppleCare at a significant premium. This was for corporate customers I believe. I would definitely renew annually given the option.

The yearly new Apple Care+ is 150 and I was told you can migrate to that plan any time.

It's right in the purchasing flow. On the "Review Bag" page. $60/year. Forever, until cancelled.

As long as you want and Apple has not stopped supporting the hardware. Usually 6 or 7 years would be the max.
