Apple has introduced AppleCare One in the UK, expanding its service that initially launched in the US last year. This new subscription option allows British customers with multiple Apple devices to protect up to three eligible gadgets under a single plan for £16.99 per month.
AppleCare One offers coverage for devices like iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches in case of accidental damage, loss, or theft. Apple will either repair the device or provide up to three replacement devices per year, depending on the nature of the claim.
This service enhances the existing AppleCare+ by enabling users to protect multiple products under a unified subscription instead of having separate plans. Customers who cover an iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch could save up to £11.48 per month compared to purchasing individual AppleCare+ plans for each device.
One significant advantage of AppleCare One is the flexibility to add eligible devices up to four years old to the plan, as long as they are in good condition. This extended timeframe surpasses the usual 60-day window for buying AppleCare+ after acquiring a device.
Apple emphasizes that AppleCare One simplifies the process when upgrading devices. If a covered device is traded in for a new one from Apple, the old product is automatically removed, and the new device is seamlessly integrated into the existing subscription.
Bob Borchers, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, stated that AppleCare One provides a simpler and more flexible way for UK customers to enjoy the trusted protection of AppleCare+. This streamlined approach ensures peace of mind with one plan, one price, and comprehensive coverage for all eligible products.
