In a memo to employees, Weather Channel president Dave Shull said the network will refocus its morning coverage on weatherâand move Sam Champion away from the networkâs AMHQ to a new role in prime time. Champion left a high-profile job at Good Morning America in late 2013 for the Weather Channel. The exact number of layoffs was not announced, but they include positions in HR, Finance, and Communications. Previously, the network announced an end to New York production of Al Rokerâs Wake Up With Al.
The AppleCare+ plan, in contrast, costs $129 up front for benefits such as 24/7 chat or phone tech support, along with reduced pricing for up to two accidental damage repairs such as a shattered screen, which costs $29. Without an AppleCare+ plan, the price for a cracked screen is $129-$149 through Apple.
If you buy the iPhone X, you might want to take the AppleCare+ offer seriously A screen repair costs $279 on the iPhone X without AppleCare+, while other damage costs $549. Those repair costs are a big leap from previous models â which makes sense, given that the iPhone X is a different form factor that includes a glass-covered chassis and OLED display. An Apple Care+ plan keeps the phone covered for 2 years of support and repairs, with a $29 fee for screen damage and a $99 fee for other damage for up to two accidents.
