Apple has renewed its protection offering with the launch of AppleCare One, a plan that makes it easier than ever to cover multiple Apple devices in a single subscription.With this proposal, the company seeks to especially appeal to those who already own more than one device in the ecosystem and want to avoid complications when managing different coverages and dates.
Surely more than one of you has heard the following: you buy an iPhone, you insure it, but then you have to take out another insurance policy for the iPad, and another for the Apple Watch. This fragmentation is doomed, because AppleCare One allows you to include up to three products in a single plan, for $19,99 per month.If you have more devices, you can add them at any time for $5,99 per month per additional device, all managed completely centrally from your account.
What exactly does AppleCare One cover?
The AppleCare One plan Not only does it integrate all the benefits of AppleCare+, but it also expands the flexibility of contracting and coverageSome of the key points to highlight are:
- Coverage for unlimited accident repairs, such as falls or spilled liquids.
- 24/XNUMX priority technical support and certified official service.
- Battery coverage on all registered teams.
- Protection against theft and loss Not only on the iPhone, but now also on the iPad and Apple Watch.
- One price which does not depend on the type of device included (iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Vision Pro, etc.).
The big news is that allows you to add equipment up to four years old (as long as they're in good condition) and not just during the first 60 days after purchase, as was the case previously. AirPods, however, must be less than a year old to be added. Additionally, customers can cancel or add products, or replace them in the case of an exchange, without any additional paperwork: the system updates them automatically.
