Apple today officially announced the launch of AppleCare subscription-based repair and warranty service AppleCare One, focusing on integrating the protection of multiple Apple devices with a single solution, and up to three Apple devices provide complete protection. So what is the difference between AppleCare One and AppleCare? As for the AppleCare One subscription price, how to subscribe and which devices to support, this article will comprehensively organize and understand the purchase method, price, warranty content of AppleCare One, and whether it is worth buying.
What is AppleCare One?
AppleCare One is Apple’s latest multi-device extended warranty subscription service, focusing on integrating multiple devices with a single solution, allowing users to customize three Apple devices at a monthly fee, all of which can provide AppleCare+-level protection.
The AppleCare One can be regarded as an existing AppleCare+ extension, while retaining the original features including unlimited repairs such as accidental damage (such as drops, splashes), battery protection and 24-hour technical support throughout the year. The AppleCare One subscription further expands the scope of theft and loss protection, covering the scope from iPhone to devices such as iPad and Apple Watch.
How much does an AppleCare One subscription cost?
| AppleCare One Solution | Monthly fee (USD) | Taiwan dollar conversion |
|---|---|---|
| Basic plan (Maximum three equipment guaranteed) |
$19.99 | RMB 590 |
| Each additional unit | $5.99 | RMB 175 |
No matter which three Apple products the user chooses, the AppleCare One subscription fee is US$19.99 (about NT$590). At the same time, the AppleOne subscription plan can also add new devices at any time, and the billing is based on the number of units. If you want to add more than 4 devices, you will have to charge another US$5.99 (about NT$175) per unit.
Is there any more cost-effective AppleCare One?
If you own an iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch at the same time, it only costs US$20 per month (about NT$600), which is cheaper than buying AppleCare+ separately, and you can save up to US$11 per month, which is obviously cost-effective for Apple users with multiple devices.
