Apple has announced the introduction of AppleCare One, a new plan that allows customers to cover multiple Apple products under a single plan. The service is priced at $19.99 per month for up to three devices, with the option to add more devices for $5.99 each per month.
Bob Borchers, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, stated, “At Apple, we’re focused on creating and delivering exceptional experiences.” He added that AppleCare One builds on the foundation of AppleCare+ by offering simplicity and value for protecting devices like iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
The plan includes benefits such as unlimited repairs for accidents like drops and spills, 24/7 priority support from Apple experts, quick service from certified professionals, and battery coverage. Additionally, theft and loss protection now extends beyond iPhones to include iPads and Apple Watches.
AppleCare One offers uniform pricing regardless of which products are covered. This could result in savings of up to $11 monthly compared to separate plans for each device. Customers can also add products they already own if they are in good condition.
The management of the plan is simplified as well; when a customer trades in a product directly with Apple, it is automatically replaced within their plan. The monthly nature of the plan allows flexibility in maintaining coverage across various products.
Customers in the U.S. can sign up starting tomorrow through their iPhone, iPad, Mac or by visiting an Apple Store.
