Apple Splitting 'ProCare' into 'ProCare' and 'One-to-One'

MacRumors has heard that Apple will be relaunching its ProCare product on Wednesday, splitting the $99 service into two separate $99 services.

Apple's current ProCare package offers a number of services for a $99/year cost. These services include:

Personal Training - up to 52 one-hour sessions over a year.
Fast Track - priority repairs and available same-day service at the Genius Bar.
Advance Reservations - schedule appointments for the Genius Bar and The Studio up to 14 days in advance.
Yearly Tune-up - system diagnostics, update your Apple software, and even clean your monitor and keyboard.
Computer Setup - transfer all your existing files to your new computer, organize everything into convenient folders, and set up your system and your new software.

Apple is expected to split their ProCare service into two separate $99 services, each with only a portion of the original features.

ProCare - $99.
Fast Track
Advanced Reservations
Yearly Tune-up
Complete Setup
Backup Consult (new)

One-to-One - $99. ($79 for teachers)
Personal Training - up to 52 one-hour sessions over a year.
Complete Setup

So, customers interested in purchasing ProCare should considering purchasing ProCare before Wednesday as benefits will reportedly be honored under the old terms.

They should have dropped the price a little bit too. It's still worth it, but not as good of a value as before.

What?! So now they are gonna charge double for the same service, essentially? That's rip-off!

If your old Mac has a firewire port it's real easy to transfer files, it was a snap for me

Maybe they'll make ProCare acceptably good for Business customers.

Well I did not want pro care before, but now you tell me there is a cool card? I am interested now.

But doesn't that show that you know nothing about Apple or you wasted $100?
