6 AppleCare+ Is Available
Apple didn’t mention it in its HomePod launch press release, but consumers will be able to buy the extended AppleCare+ warranty for the smart speaker. Reportedly, it will cost $39, according to an internal Apple Store employee memo.
As with other AppleCare+ plans, the HomePod coverage will extend its warranty from the standard one year to two years. It also includes support for two incidents of “accidental damage,” though users will have to pay a $39 fee for service if it isn’t a manufacturer issue.
