Apple has officially launched AppleCare One, their new subscription service designed to provide coverage for multiple devices under a single plan. This initiative marks a significant step towards simplifying device support for customers.
The subscription begins at $19.99 per month, allowing coverage for up to three products. Users can add additional devices for $5.99 each month, making it an accessible option for families or individuals with multiple Apple products.
The plan includes comprehensive benefits similar to those offered by AppleCare+, such as unlimited accidental damage repairs, priority customer support, and extended battery coverage. One of the notable features is the flexibility it offers; subscribers can add or remove devices from the plan at any time.
A standout aspect of AppleCare One is its eligibility criteria. Customers can include devices that they already own, as long as they are no older than four years and are in good condition.
This does away with the traditional 60-day limit for purchasing AppleCare+, which means users have more time to decide on coverage. Additionally, if a customer trades in a device that is covered by AppleCare One, that device is automatically removed from the plan and replaced with the new one.
The new service also expands its theft and loss protection to include iPads and Apple Watches, which were previously only available for iPhones. Pricing remains consistent regardless of the products included, potentially allowing users to save up to $11 per month compared to enrolling in separate plans for each device.
Customers in the United States can sign up for AppleCare One through their iPhone, iPad, or Mac, or by visiting a nearby Apple Store.
