Chit Chat Across the Pond

CCATP #820 — Adam Engst on Apple Care and AppleCare One

Listen Later

In this week's Chit Chat Across the Pond, Adam Engst of TidBITS fame and fortune joins me to talk about recent changes to AppleCare. While the big story of the day is AppleCare One, there have been changes over the past few years (and even this year) to what AppleCare covers and how it's charged.
