'AppleCare One' is Now Even More Valuable

While the monthly and annual prices of AppleCare+ plans for Macs and iPads received a slight increase this week, AppleCare One continues to start at $19.99 per month in the U.S., making the multi-device plan even more valuable.

Apple AppleCare One Feature
Launched in July 2025, AppleCare One allows you to cover up to three devices as part of a single subscription for $19.99 per month, and additional devices can be added for $5.99 each. AppleCare One offers repairs for accidental damage, 24/7 priority tech support, and theft and loss protection for the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.

If you have an iPhone 17 Pro, a MacBook Air with an M5 chip, and an iPad mini with an A17 Pro chip, for example, AppleCare+ plans with theft and loss coverage where applicable can cost up to $26.97 per month for those devices in total. As mentioned, AppleCare One still costs $19.99 per month, so you can save $6.98 per month in this scenario.

Notably, you can add Apple devices that you already own to an AppleCare One plan, so long as they are in good condition and less than four years old. A diagnostic check and/or inspection may be required to verify a device's condition.

AppleCare One remains available in the U.S. only.

More "valuable"? Really? The value hasn't changed a bit. The alternative just got more expensive...

No this subscription is useless, having using Apple devices for more than a decade and I never had problems with them... My family who also use Apple devices also never had any problems. 20 per month is 240 per year and 2400 in 10 years !

The price increases on Apple devices is really disappointing, but the ridiculous increases on AppleCare+ are like a gut punch. I can see a lot less AppleCare being sold now.
