MacRumors received word that Apple appears to be making a similar transition for the iPad with tomorrow's introduction of the iPad 3, rolling out a 99 AppleCare+ for iPad warranty that would replace the current 79 standard AppleCare package.



From MacRumors:

Accidental damage has been a more common issue on the iPhone since the introduction of the iPhone 4 in 2010, due in part to the use of glass on both front and back of that device and its successor, the iPhone 4S. iPhones requiring replacement due to accidental damage had typically required a 199 replacement fee, although support staff generally had a fair amount of leeway in waiving that fee on a case-by-case basis. Apple has reportedly tightened up on that flexibility since the introduction of AppleCare+ for iPhone, now that accidental damage coverage is available through the plan.
