AppleCare is the guarantee system designed by Apple for customers who buy its products, it assures them, in exchange for an annual sum of money, that in the event of an accident they will benefit from free repairs or replacements for the respective products. Although Apple Watch is going to be available for pre-order from April 10, the Apple company has not provided official information regarding the prices that interested users will have to pay in order to purchase AppleCare or Apple Care+ protection, but today we find them thanks to some sources inside the company.
According to these sources, AppleCare+ for: Apple Watch Sport will cost $59, Apple Watch stainless steel will cost 79%, and finally we have the Apple Watch Edition, which takes another 1000 dollars out of customers' pockets for complete protection of the watch after purchase. In the first two cases, the value of the AppleCare+ guarantee is approximately 17% of the price of the product, but in the case of the Apple Watch Edition it varies depending on the model, but it is clear that Apple will ask for serious sums of money to protect its smartwatch, and the prices it differs depending on the combinations made with various accessories.
If we think that in the case of iPhones, Apple asks only 99 dollars for AppleCare+, plus another 79 dollars for repairs caused by accidents, we notice that the prices of protection for the Apple Watch are very high compared to the price paid by customers for products in the time of purchase. To be honest, I don't know how many will buy the additional AppleCare+ protection for watches, but it seems that it won't be as cheap as many expected.
