Apple Care One: Apple (AAPL) has introduced a new AppleCare plan with a single monthly fee for multiple devices. Starting July 24, the service—called AppleCare One—offers comprehensive coverage.
It includes unlimited repairs for accidental damage like drops and spills. Battery replacements, tech support, and even loss and theft protection are part of the package.
The plan costs $19.99 monthly for three devices, including iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches. You can add extra devices for just $5.99 each.
Apple says that choosing AppleCare One for an iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch will save you $11 per month compared to buying separate AppleCare+ plans for each device.

You can sign up for AppleCare One in a few ways. Either purchase it while buying a new Apple device, add it within 60 days of your purchase, or upgrade from an active AppleCare+ plan.
This means you cannot simply subscribe to AppleCare One for an older device like your iPhone X. After signing up for AppleCare One, you can add devices that are less than four years old and linked to your Apple Account.
The devices must also be in good working condition. If you trade in a device, your AppleCare One coverage will automatically move to your new device.
This transfer works as long as the new device is connected to your Apple Account. AppleCare subscriptions are part of Apple’s Services division.

This segment also includes Apple TV+, Apple Music, App Store sales, iCloud plans, and payment services like Apple Pay and the Apple Card.
In 2024, Apple reported $96.1 billion in revenue from Services. It is the company’s second-largest business after the iPhone.
The iPhone generated $201.1 billion out of Apple’s total $391 billion revenue. Apple also includes its search deal with Google (GOOG, GOOGL) under the Services segment.
Court filings reveal that Google paid Apple $20 billion to remain the default search engine on Apple’s Safari browser. But that arrangement may not last much longer.

Judge Amit Mehta of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia is expected to rule on the “remedies” next month.
This comes after the Justice Department’s antitrust win against Google. If the judge decides that Google must end such exclusivity deals, it could hit Apple’s Services business hard.
However, new plans like AppleCare One might help balance out some of those potential losses.
