Apple is making it easier for you to cover all your devices under AppleCare. With the newly announced AppleCare One plan, you no longer need to cover each product individually.
AppleCare One will allow you to cover up to any three products for $19.99 per month. So, instead of paying separately to cover an iPhone 16 Pro, MacBook Air, and iPad Pro, for example, you'd pay just $20 for all three devices.
Apple notes that customers can save up to $11 per month over enrolling in separate AppleCare+ plans for each device. For any other gadgets, you'd pay $5.99 per month per device. There is no annual plan.

The company is upping its enrollment period so you can add devices you already own to existing coverage. Most devices are now eligible up to four years after purchase, as long as they remain in good condition. This is up from the company's current limit of 60 days. Headphones remain eligible up to one year after purchase.
Additionally, theft and loss protection is being extended beyond just the iPhone to also cover the iPad and Apple Watch. Available for both AppleCare One and AppleCare+ plans now, this coverage allows you to replace a lost or stolen item for a fixed price.
AppleCare One will be available in the U.S. starting July 24 at 8 a.m. ET. You'll be able to sign up at an Apple Store, on Apple.com, or directly from the AppleCare & Warranty section in the Settings menu of your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. And since AppleOne is tied to a customer's Apple Account, devices you trade in are automatically removed and replaced with the new one.
Despite bearing a similar name, AppleCare One has no relationship to the Apple One bundle, which bundles Apple's subscription services for one price.
