Apple Launches AppleCare One: A New All-in-One Device Protection Plan
Apple is making it easier — and more affordable — to protect your devices. On Wednesday, the company introduced AppleCare One, a new $19.99/month subscription plan that covers up to three Apple products under a single plan. Users can add more devices for $5.99/month each.
Until now, Apple users had to buy separate AppleCare+ plans for each device. With AppleCare One, users can now enjoy bundled coverage, saving both time and money.
📱 What’s Included in AppleCare One?
AppleCare One combines the best of AppleCare+ and adds multi-device support:
- ✅ Unlimited accidental damage repairs (drops, spills, etc.)
- 🔋 Battery coverage
- 🧑💻 24/7 access to Apple experts
- 🛡️ Theft and loss protection for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch
💡 For the first time, users can also add devices up to four years old, provided they’re in good condition. Apple may require a quick diagnostic check via iPhone or at an Apple Store.
💰 Why AppleCare One Is Cheaper
AppleCare One offers flat-rate pricing:
- $19.99/month for up to 3 devices
- $5.99/month for each additional device
It doesn’t matter which devices are included — you can mix and match iPhone, iPad, MacBook, and Apple Watch. According to Apple, this setup can save users up to $11/month compared to separate AppleCare+ plans.
For example: Enrolling a MacBook Pro, iPhone, and Apple Watch individually would cost more than bundling them under AppleCare One.
🛍️ How to Enroll
AppleCare One is available starting Thursday in the U.S.
You can sign up directly:
- On your iPhone, iPad, or Mac
- Through the Apple Support app
- Or by visiting an Apple Store
Note: Only devices associated with your Apple ID account can be added to your AppleCare One subscription.
🧍♂️ Still Want Single-Device Coverage?
Apple will continue to offer standard AppleCare+ for users who want coverage for just one device. Plus, theft and loss protection for iPads and Apple Watches is also being added to AppleCare+ for those single-product users.
🔑 Takeaway
AppleCare One is a smart move for multi-device Apple users who want flexible, affordable protection without managing multiple plans. With simplified pricing, expanded device eligibility, and first-time coverage for older gear, it’s the most user-friendly AppleCare update in years.
