AppleCare, Apple‘s warranty and support plan, has just gotten bigger.
On Wednesday, the company introduced AppleCare One, a subscription plan that covers multiple Apple products. It starts at $19.99 per month, and covers up to three Apple products, with the option to add more devices to the plan for an additional $5.99 per month.
This is different from AppleCare+, which still exists and covers a single Apple product.

The pricing is the same regardless of which three Apple devices you choose, and you can add any recently purchased product (or product currently covered by AppleCare+) to the plan. There are some caveats here, though; the devices you already own must be in good condition and four years old or newer (the single exception are headphones which must be under one year old).
Furthermore, the AppleCare One plan cannot be extended to all of your family’s devices; only the devices that are on the same Apple Account as the subscriber can be added.
What’s included in AppleCare One?
So what do you get for your money? Besides all the benefits that come with AppleCare+ (unlimited repairs for accidents like drop and spills, 24/7 support, Apple-certified service, and battery coverage), the AppleCare One plan also expands theft and loss protection to cover not just the iPhone, but also the iPad and Apple Watch.
The new AppleCare One plan will be available on Thursday, July 24, in the U.S. Customers can sign up directly on their iPhone, iPad, or Mac, or at a physical Apple Store.
