Apple has introduced AppleCare One in the UK, following its successful launch in the US. This subscription service allows customers to protect multiple Apple devices under a single plan for £16.99 per month. The coverage includes up to three eligible devices like iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches, offering repair services or up to three replacements per year for accidental damage, loss, or theft.
AppleCare One enhances the existing AppleCare+ benefits by providing unlimited accidental damage repairs, battery servicing, and 24/7 priority access to Apple support. The key advantage is the ability to safeguard multiple products with a unified subscription, potentially saving customers up to £11.48 per month compared to individual plans for each device.
Notably, AppleCare One allows customers to add eligible devices up to four years old, as long as they are in good condition. This extended window for device coverage surpasses the usual 60-day limit for purchasing AppleCare+. Furthermore, the plan seamlessly adjusts when upgrading devices, automatically replacing old products with new ones without extra steps.
Bob Borchers, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, emphasized the simplicity and flexibility of AppleCare One, stating that it offers a straightforward pricing structure and peace of mind by covering all eligible products. This new service aims to provide customers in the UK with a convenient and comprehensive solution for protecting their Apple devices.
