As of Thursday, AppleCare has begun providing support for Beats Music customers as well as accepting Apple Pay for payment. Prior to this, support for Beats’ customers went through an alternate service. According to sources, AppleCare staff are now taking Apple Pay as a form of compensation.
Support for the Beats music products has been slowly integrated into Apple’s system since the company’s purchase of Beats Electronics and Beats Music for US$3 billion in 2014.
As for Apple Pay, the change is part of a new initiative to encourage businesses to accept Apple Pay and expand the locations where the iPhone and Apple Watch owners can use the mobile payment service. AppleCare agents will promote the newly published Apple Pay FAQ document for merchants, while specific Apple Pay Merchant support will also be available.
If you’ve received AppleCare support for your Beats products or used ApplePay to pay for support, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
