AppleCare One goes international: What you need to know about the new protection plan

AppleCare One, which offers a single subscription for comprehensive protection for multiple Apple devices, is going international. After a successful year-long test in the US, the service will be available to users in the UK, France, Germany and Australia starting August 4.

Positioning

AppleCare One is a solution for those who own several Apple devices and want to optimize service costs. One plan covers up to three gadgets, including iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, providing the same level of protection as AppleCare+.

Terms of Service

The plan covers accidental damage repair, battery replacement and 24/7 support. Insurance against theft or loss is also provided for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Below are the tariffs for regional markets:

Compatibility and connection features

You can add not only new devices to the system, but also previously purchased ones. An important condition is the service life: the device must be older than four years and must be in good technical condition. When connecting a gadget purchased in the past, Apple specialists can initiate preliminary diagnostics of the system.

AppleCare+ line update

In addition to expanding AppleCare One, the company has updated the terms of the standard AppleCare+ plan for the UK. iPad and Apple Watch users can now take advantage of the theft and loss protection option that was previously exclusive only to iPhone owners. This step shows Apple’s desire to make the service support system more universal and predictable for owners of the entire brand ecosystem.
