Is this the end of multi-year AppleCare+ plans? What's replacing them and why
Briefly

Apple is making significant changes to its AppleCare+ program, removing the option to purchase multi-year plans directly in-store or through devices. Customers will only be able to opt for single-year or month-to-month subscriptions, which could lead to increased costs for device protection. The move seems designed to shift towards a more consistent monthly subscription model. However, customers can still buy multi-year plans online. This decision appears to bring Apple more in line with competitors like Google and Samsung, which primarily offer monthly coverage plans.
If you're purchasing device protection through those methods, Apple is going to limit you to a single-year subscription or a month-by-month plan.
This means that you’ll ultimately end up paying more to protect your devices unless you opt for the online option.
If Apple does go this route, it would only be falling in line with its competition.
