Apple offers two extended warranty and protection plans for its products: AppleCare+ and AppleCare One. AppleCare+ is designed for a single device, while AppleCare One provides coverage for up to three devices under a single subscription. For users with just one Apple product, AppleCare+ is often the more cost-effective option, even though prices have risen recently. The cost varies depending on the device model. For instance, the iPhone 17 Pro Max costs $14 or $140 annually, while the iPhone 17e is $10 a month or $100 annually. AppleCare+ includes unlimited repairs for accidental damage like drops and spills, 24/7 priority support, and access to service at Apple Stores or authorized providers worldwide. AppleCare+ also covers free battery replacements for devices like iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks when battery health drops to 80 percent. Theft and loss coverage is available for up to two claims per year for devices that are often carried outside, such as iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches. Some models offer an express replacement service, which allows users to receive a temporary device before sending in their damaged one. However, users should be aware that service fees and deductibles apply. For example, repairs for screen or back glass damage cost $29, while theft or loss claims have a $149 deductible. These details are available on Apple's website. AppleCare One offers all the benefits of AppleCare+ for up to three devices under a $20-a-month plan. This can be more cost-effective than buying individual AppleCare+ plans, especially for users with multiple eligible devices. Currently, AppleCare One is available in the US, UK, France, Germany, and Australia. For example, an iPhone 17 Pro Max, a 13-inch iPad Pro with M4, and a pair of AirPods Pro 3 would cost $27.47 monthly with separate AppleCare+ plans, making AppleCare One a more economical choice. Additional devices can be added for $6 each, though there are eligibility requirements: most devices must be four years or newer, while headphones must be one year or less. Only devices registered under the user's Apple account qualify for coverage. Both AppleCare+ and AppleCare One cover in-box cables and power adapters. For iPads, both plans also include accidental damage coverage for one Apple Pencil and one Apple iPad keyboard. This additional protection can be especially useful for users who rely heavily on these accessories for work or creative tasks.
