AppleCare One is Apple’s new all-in-one protection subscription that covers multiple Apple devices under a single plan. Priced at €19.99 per month, it replaces the need for separate AppleCare+ plans and adds more flexibility, theft/loss protection for more devices, and the ability to add older hardware. This article explains everything about AppleCare One: what it includes, who it’s for, how it compares to AppleCare+, how sign-up works, and when to expect it outside the United States.
What Is AppleCare One?
AppleCare One is a subscription plan designed to protect up to three Apple devices under one account for a monthly fee. It includes:
- Unlimited accidental damage repairs
- Battery service (if battery health falls below 80%)
- Theft and loss protection for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch
- 24/7 priority Apple support
- Coverage for devices like Mac, AirPods, Apple TV, HomePod, and Vision Pro
Price and Device Limits
The plan costs €19.99/month and includes coverage for up to three devices. If you want to add more than three, each additional device costs €5.99/month.
This bundled pricing can save money compared to having individual AppleCare+ plans for each product.

AppleCare One is available for a wide range of Apple products, including:
- iPhone

- Apple TV

Eligibility Rules:
