One of those extras is a must have, though: AppleCare. If you don’t get that, you will get nailed if you break it. Apple has just updated its service price list for the new iPads (opens in new tab). Without AppleCare+, you will get seriously screwed if your iPad breaks in any way. Check it out: Credit: Apple Say you get the two-year AppleCare+ with accidental damage for $129. Your iPad will break and $45 will fix anything (two accidents maximum). Otherwise, prepare to burn $649 if you get the 12.9-inch model and $499 for the 10.5-inch tablet. The good news: AppleCare+ covers any defect fixing for free, plus any fixes for the power adapter, the battery, and the pencil at no cost — unless the pencil breaks because of mishandling. Then you have to pay a $25 deductible to fix it. And while you’re, don’t forget to get yourself one of those new $9 USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (opens in new tab) so you can use your old headphones on your new iPad Pro. The Apple Tax is still real.
