AppleCare+ just got a big upgrade for iPad and Apple Watch users
Starting this Thursday, July 24, the AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss plan will expand its availability to the iPad and Apple Watch. These plans are available individually, and you don't need to have AppleCare One coverage to take advantage of these plans. AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss includes coverage for up to two incidents of theft or loss of the device in a one-year period. It also includes unlimited repairs for accidental damage.
In the U.S., this plan starts at $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year for iPads, and at $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year for the Apple Watch.
You can soon cover your Apple Watch with the AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss plan. | Image Credit - PhoneArena Previously, this super useful plan was only limited to the iPhone. iPad and Apple Watch users had only the regular AppleCare+ for repairs, which they could choose if they wanted extra protection for their new device. With this change, this would no longer be the case.
Unfortunately, the AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss is still not available for other Apple devices, including Macs, Apple TV, HomePod, AirPods, and even Apple Vision Pro. But luckily, if you prefer AppleCare One, theft and loss coverage applies to any devices that you add to that plan, and this includes the iPad and Apple Watch as well. I personally think that this is a great move by Apple. A lot of people take their iPads and Apple Watches everywhere, just like their phones. Accidents happen, and sometimes things get lost or stolen.
It's nice to know there's now an option to protect those devices too – not just the iPhone. The prices seem fair, and it gives people peace of mind. Whether you go for AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss or bundle everything with AppleCare One, it's good to have more choices.

Deals: Samsung Galaxy Z foldables now available, S25 Ultra and S25 Edge discounted
The wait is over, Samsung's next generation of foldables is now available. That means the end of the pre-order perks, but you can still get some extras. Right now, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 are available with $200 Amazon Gift Cards (no more free storage upgrade, though). We have a detailed review if you want to do a deep dive before committing. If you decide to get one, you may want to also grab a case to protect your shiny new foldable. The Z Fold7 case no longer holds an S Pen (remember: support was removed), but it does have a grip. It's available in transparent and gray. The Z Flip7 cases offer a stylish leather option (Kindsuit) or a more playful look (Flip Suit). Of course, this year Samsung offers the more affordable Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, which starts at $200 less than the premium Z Flip7, though this is with less memory. Also note that the Amazon Gift Card is only $100, which closes the gap between the two models even further. It has exactly zero discount at the moment, but the Motorola Razr 2025 is still $260 cheaper than the FE (if we look at the 256GB models). The chipset has noticeably less performance, but Motorola was ahead of the curve on cover screen size (3.6' vs. 3.4') and battery capacity (4,500mAh vs. 4,000mAh), so the vanilla Razr is worth a look if you are considering the Z Flip7 FE. Just maybe wait a week or two for discounts to come back. Motorola Razr 2025 Read our review 8/256GB - $700 at Amazon US By the way, the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Watch8 Classic also went on open sale this week. The vanilla model is the thinnest Galaxy Watch yet and comes in two sizes (40mm and 44mm) with and without 4G. The Watch8 Classic is still the only option for a rotating bezel – this one comes only in one size (46mm), but you do get a choice between 4G and Bluetooth. Note: the Watch8 is $50 off, but you need to grab the discount code. The Classic has a $100 Gift Card attached to it instead. Putting foldables and watches aside, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is still the best camera phone from Samsung this year and the only new phone with S Pen support. And it is currently running a solid discount. The slim and light Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is cheaper than the Ultra, but aside from physical dimensions, it doesn't compare favorably to it. Still, a display of this size is impossible to find on a phone this light anywhere else. For a cheaper option, the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is back on sale. But wait – did you hear that the Samsung Galaxy A56 is finally available in the US after an inexplicably long delay? You can get a $50 discount with a coupon, which is the only thing keeping it in the game – even with that discount, the S24 FE may be the better value for money. The A56 also has the Motorola Edge (2025) to worry about. This phone has a good quality 6.7' 10-bit 1220p+ OLED display, an IP69 rating a 50+10+50MP camera with a 3x telephoto and a high-resolution ultra-wide and a 5,200mAh battery with both fast wired charging (68W) and wireless too (15W). Motorola Edge (2025) $110 off 8/256GB - $440 at Amazon US Finally, the Nothing Phone (3) still offers a free storage upgrade from 12/256GB to 16/512GB. Have you gotten used to its kooky look yet?
