Apple has increased the price of its AppleCare+ subscriptions in the U.S., and the move suggests pricing could also take place in Canada.
MacRumors says the monthly AppleCare+ subscription for iPhone has jumped by up 50 cents, now starting at $10.49 USD, up from $9.99 USD.
Apple is adjusting the monthly pricing for iPhone AppleCare+ as it moves toward a subscription-based model, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. This week, the company is beginning to phase out one-time purchase AppleCare+ plans from its retail stores.
Monthly pricing for AppleCare+ in Canada starts at $9.99 for iPhone 16 (and 14/15), $11.99 for iPhone 16 Plus (and 14/15 Plus) and $13.49 for iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max.
Usually, changes Apple makes in the U.S. will come to Canada. Given the low Canadian dollar, we won’t be surprised if prices also go up here soon.

The problem with AppleCare is that it's a waste of money, until your phone gets damaged… It really should include iCloud+ 200GB and Apple TV to make it worthwhile for the long term.
Thats what any type of insurance is… waste of money until you need it.
