Apple releases AppleCare One subscription service, offering coverage for numerous devices, beginning at $19 per month
## Apple Introduces AppleCare One: A Cost-Effective Solution for Multiple Apple Devices
**London, July 24** - Apple has unveiled a new service called AppleCare One, a monthly subscription plan designed to protect multiple Apple devices under one plan. The service, which starts rolling out today, offers benefits similar to AppleCare+, including unlimited accidental damage repairs, 24/7 priority support, and battery service, but with added advantages such as theft and loss protection for iPads and Apple Watches.
### Cost Structure
The base plan of AppleCare One covers up to three Apple devices for $19.99 per month. Each additional device can be added for an additional $5.99 per month.
### Devices Covered
AppleCare One can protect a variety of Apple products, including iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple Watches, and other devices. For the service to be applicable, devices must be less than four years old (except for some accessories like headphones, which must be less than one year old) and in good condition.
### Benefits Compared to AppleCare+
One of the key advantages of AppleCare One over traditional AppleCare+ plans is the expanded theft and loss protection, which now covers iPads and Apple Watches, unlike AppleCare+ which only offered this for iPhones.
Another advantage is the simplified enrollment process, as AppleCare One allows enrollment of devices up to four years old without a strict purchase window, unlike AppleCare+ which typically requires enrollment within 60 days of purchase.
AppleCare One also offers greater flexibility, as users can add or remove devices from the plan at any time, making it more adaptable to changing device portfolios.
By bundling multiple devices under one plan, users can save money compared to purchasing AppleCare+ separately for each device. For instance, the monthly cost for AppleCare One for the iPhone 16 Pro, Apple Watch 10, and MacBook Pro M4 (14-inch) is $19.99, while the cost of AppleCare+ for these devices separately would be $26.47, resulting in a savings of $6.48 a month.
### Availability and Enrollment
To get AppleCare One, you can sign up at apple.com, when purchasing a device at the Apple Store, or enroll in AppleCare One right from the Settings app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
AppleCare One is set to start rolling out on July 24. For more information, visit apple.com/uk/support/applecare.
