AppleCare+ is now available in Canada as monthly and annual subscriptions for a wider range of devices, covering iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, AirPods, HomePod, Studio Display, and Vision Pro. The new recurring-payment options give Canadian customers greater flexibility while Apple’s prepaid AppleCare+ plans remain available.
What’s changing for AppleCare+ in Canada
AppleCare+ monthly and annual subscriptions are being rolled out to multiple product lines in Canada. The main change is expanding recurring plans to devices that previously required a prepaid plan purchased at the time of hardware acquisition, providing an alternative to one‑time payments.
Pricing examples
Prices vary by device and model. As examples:
– AppleCare+ for a Mac can start at CAD 5.49 per month or CAD 54.99 per year, depending on the model.
– Coverage for lower-cost devices such as Apple TV and HomePod can start at CAD 0.99 per month or CAD 9.99 per year.
These figures are illustrative—exact pricing depends on the specific device and configuration.
Benefits and cost considerations
Monthly and annual subscriptions add budgeting flexibility and make it easier to spread the cost of coverage. However, over the same time period these recurring plans can be more expensive than a prepaid AppleCare+ plan. Prepaid options therefore remain a viable choice for buyers who prefer to pay upfront.
What hasn’t changed
Some features are still not available in Canada: AppleCare+ with theft and loss is not offered, and the AppleCare One bundle has not been extended to the country. These exclusions remain despite the broader rollout of subscription options.
Bottom line
By offering AppleCare+ as a subscription for more devices, Apple gives Canadian consumers more payment options without altering every international offering. When choosing between a recurring subscription or a prepaid plan, compare total cost and specific coverage for the device you own or plan to buy.
