Apple gave the M3 MBAs WiFi 6E. The M2 MBAs only had 6..

They are also quick to point out that 6E is '2X faster' than 6.

I doubt Apple would remove an AppleCare coverage that was already bought and paid for.

However I think they'd be willing, if you discuss it at the store with them, to extend the coverage for normal retail price.

AppleCare does tend to give you a built in break on repairs past the warranty, ie result in Apple charging flat fees rather than individual parts being piled high into a list.

It's good to hear that Apple is moving on to the M4, but I worry that they may stop giving a poo poo about GPU upgrades and decide to start devoting more die space to the AI cores for no good reason.

I've heard the M2/M3 and up will support nested virtualization much better than original M1/Pro so that's a plus for emulation but I don't really hear about anything taking advantage of this feature.
