Apple has introduced AppleCare One, a new subscription plan designed to simplify device protection for people with multiple Apple products.
For $19.99/month, U.S. customers can protect up to three devices under one plan. Each additional device is $5.99/month. The coverage includes:
- Unlimited accidental damage repairs (service fees apply)
- Battery replacements when health drops below 80%
- Up to three claims per year for theft or loss of an iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch
Unlike the older, per-device AppleCare+ plans, AppleCare One rolls everything into a single subscription—making it easier for people who upgrade regularly or use several Apple devices at once. You can add most devices up to 4 years old, provided they’re in good working condition (Apple may require a diagnostic check).
Other perks:
- Automatic coverage transfer when you trade in a covered device for a new one at Apple
- Per-user coverage—meaning it protects only the devices registered to your Apple ID, not a family’s entire set of devices
- Standard service fees and deductibles still apply for covered repairs or replacements
If you’ve been juggling separate AppleCare+ plans for each device, this might be a more streamlined (and potentially cost-saving) option—especially if you’re within Apple’s ecosystem and keep multiple devices in regular use.
