'AppleCare One' Subscription Now Available

AppleCare One, Apple's new subscription for customers to cover multiple devices with a single plan, is now available.

AppleCare One starts at $19.99 per month for up to three products, with the ability to add more for $5.99 per month for each additional device. The plan incudes all of the benefits that come with ‌AppleCare‌+, such as unlimited repairs for accidents, priority support, battery coverage, and more.

Subscribers can freely move their devices in and out of the plan at any time. ‌AppleCare‌ One also enables users to add products they already own that are up to four years old, providing they are in good condition, extending beyond the current 60-day window to purchase ‌AppleCare‌+. When a customer trades in a covered product with Apple, it is automatically removed from their ‌AppleCare‌ One plan and replaced with the new device.

‌AppleCare‌ One also expands theft and loss protection to the iPad and Apple Watch. Previously, it was only available for the iPhone.

‌AppleCare‌ One's pricing is the same regardless of the products that are covered. Apple says that a customer who enrolls their iPhone, ‌iPad‌, and Apple Watch could save up to $11 per month versus enrolling in separate ‌AppleCare‌+ plans for each device.

Customers in the United States can now sign up for AppleCare One on their iPhone, ‌iPad‌, or Mac, or by visiting an Apple Store.

Nice that for people who have existing AppleCare they refund the leftover balance immediately.

Haven't received a refund yet for any of the replaced plans, so I assume it will be credited to my card and not as a gift card.
Nope. I just got an email with the subject “[My own name] sent you an Apple Gift Card” It’s for $99.19, for the remaining amount on my MacBook Pro AppleCare. I hope they change the email subject line in the future so it’s more clear what it is. I did not send myself a gift card.

This is the part that confuses me. How do they verify that your device is not damaged prior to enrolling? Do you need to visit a store? Not all damage could show up in a system diagnostic.

Apple needs to be more clear about how AppleCare One works. AppleCare+ is linked to the device, as evidenced by a serial number. I have AppleCare+ for my iPhone and for two other devices that I bought which are used by family members. All 3 are covered by AppleCare+, and all 3 were purchased under my Apple account. However, the other two use different AppleIDs to log into iCloud, so they can sync their own contacts, photos, music, etc.

I called AppleCare to confirm all 3 devices would be covered by AppleCare One and was assured that they would. However, after switching to AppleCare One on one device, the others couldn't be added, because they use different AppleIDs for their content.

So AppleCare One is designed to cover 3 of the devices that an individual uses, like their iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch..... it is NOT designed to cover 3 devices in your household, some of which may be used by other family members.
