AppleCare One subscription lets you protect multiple devices for $20/month

Looking for a better way to protect your Apple devices without juggling separate plans? The new AppleCare One subscription offers a simplified solution. Starting at $19.99 per month, users can now cover up to three devices—including iPhones, iPads, Macs, and even eligible older gadgets—under a single plan. This subscription extends the same trusted protection from AppleCare Plus, including battery coverage, accidental damage repairs, and round-the-clock priority support. Best of all, you can include devices purchased up to four years ago, provided they pass a diagnostic check.

What’s included in the AppleCare One subscription?

Every device under the AppleCare One subscription receives comprehensive support. This includes unlimited accidental damage repairs, 24/7 customer assistance, and battery service. You can also add additional devices for just $5.99 each. Apple even includes Theft and Loss protection for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch—features that were previously more limited under traditional AppleCare Plus coverage. If you're worried about older devices, Apple allows those up to four years old to be added, provided they're in good condition.

How to sign up for AppleCare One subscription

Getting started with AppleCare One is easy and accessible. You can subscribe directly from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, or visit an Apple Store starting July 24. The flexibility to include older devices makes this plan particularly appealing for families or professionals using a mix of new and legacy Apple products. Just remember: headphones must be less than a year old to be eligible for inclusion in the plan.

Why AppleCare One subscription is part of Apple’s bigger strategy

AppleCare One represents Apple’s latest move to deepen its services ecosystem. It joins Apple One—another bundled subscription plan that includes services like iCloud+, Apple Music, and Apple TV+. With services revenue hitting record highs, Apple is clearly focusing on recurring value offerings. By creating an all-in-one device protection plan, the AppleCare One subscription supports long-term customer retention while also delivering convenience and peace of mind.
