Apple is known for sleek products and even sleeker services. On July 23, 2025, Apple announced something new—AppleCare One. This subscription combines coverage for iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches into one plan. It’s built for people who want to make life simple, save money, and stop stressing over repairs.
AppleCare One Explained
AppleCare One is a subscription service for $19.99 a month. With this single plan, you can cover up to three Apple devices. Have more gadgets? You can add more for $5.99 each per month. This new plan is designed to solve the headache of tech support and device coverage.
AppleCare One includes:
- Support for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch (including Apple Watch Ultra)
- Unlimited accident repairs and battery replacements
- 24/7 priority support from Apple experts
- Theft and loss coverage for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch
- Simple management and flexible upgrades
No more juggling separate AppleCare+ plans for every device. It’s all in one spot, with support at your fingertips.
Why AppleCare One?
Simplicity
If you buy AppleCare+ today, you need to set up and manage a plan for each new device. Juggling renewals, managing multiple bills, and remembering expiration dates gets tiresome.
AppleCare One makes things easy. You log in, see every device, and can add or remove coverage in one spot. When you trade in a device, the old one comes off the plan and the new one slides right in.
Flexibility
With traditional AppleCare+, you have a 60-day window from the day you buy to get coverage. With AppleCare One, you can add Apple devices up to four years old—as long as they’re in good condition. This means older phones or iPads sitting around the house can finally get the protection they need.
You only keep the plan as long as you want. If you buy something new, just add it. If you’re ready to part with a device, remove it—no calls, just a tap.
Saving Money
If you have three devices, you can save up to $11 a month compared to buying individual AppleCare+ plans. More devices, more savings. This is great for families or Apple fans with a full lineup.
How Does It Work?
- Pay $19.99 per month for your plan.
- Add up to three Apple gadgets for coverage; add more for $5.99 each.
- Enjoy the following benefits:
- Unlimited repairs for accidental damage (drops, cracks, spills)
- Battery replacements
- Fast, easy access to Apple’s support team any time of day
- Device replacement for theft or loss (with some deductibles)
- Manage all covered devices from your Apple account, online or in stores.
- Upgrade, trade in, or remove devices at any time, simply.
There’s no long-term contract. Pay-as-you-go. Cancel or change anytime.
The Real-World Benefits
For Families
Family tech life is busy—kids, parents, and sometimes even grandparents have their own iPhones and iPads. AppleCare One lets families protect everyone’s devices for one monthly price. No tracking paperwork or worrying which device has coverage.
For Tech Lovers
Maybe you have a MacBook for work, an iPad for play, and a new Apple Watch. Adding all to one simple plan cuts hassle. If you upgrade often, AppleCare One keeps everything up to date.
For Businesses
Small offices with MacBooks, iPhones, and iPads can unify support using AppleCare One. This reduces downtime, helps everyone stay connected, and keeps repair costs predictable.

How To Sign Up
AppleCare One rolls out in the United States from July 24, 2025. You can sign up:
- On your iPhone, iPad, or Mac
- Through your Apple account online
- At any Apple Store
Adding or removing devices is easy. The service will expand to more countries soon.
What Devices Are Eligible?
You can protect most recent Apple gear:
- iPhone (all current models, in good shape)
- iPad and iPad Pro
- MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac
- Apple Watch and Apple Watch Ultra
The main requirement is that the gadget is in good working condition, even if it’s up to four years old.
When Can You Add a Device?
With AppleCare+, you had just 60 days post-purchase. AppleCare One opens the door wide—as long as your device is less than four years old and in good health, you can add it anytime. This is big for folks who hold on to devices or buy secondhand.
The Value of Unlimited Repairs
Accidents happen. With AppleCare One, you get unlimited repairs for accidental damage, like cracked screens, liquid spills, or drops. There’s a deductible per claim, but you don’t have to worry about running out of coverage.
Apple’s usual high-quality support is included—24/7 chat, calls, and in-person visits. If you need a new battery, just request service and Apple handles it.
A New Level of Support
With priority access, you move to the front of the line. That means faster answers, quicker resolutions, and less waiting. Support is available 24/7, online or in-store.
Protection for Theft and Loss
For iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, theft and loss are covered. If your device vanishes or gets stolen, AppleCare One makes it easy to claim a replacement. Limits and deductibles apply, but the process is straightforward.
Tech That Grows With You
Your plan moves as your devices change. Trade in an old MacBook? The new one is covered automatically—no extra paperwork. AppleCare One is about making your devices work for your life—not the other way around.
Frequently Asked Questions
