New “AppleCare One” plan bundles three extended warranties for $20 a month

Applecare we can also be extended to other Apple products that you have “which are up to four years” (or a year for headphones) and “in good condition”, even if they are outside the period of typical 60 days to subscribe to Applecare +. Apple says that the condition of these devices may have to be checked “using an iPhone or an iPad of a customer, or in an Apple store” before they can be added to the plan, probably to reduce the number of people operating after the fact to avoid costly repairs to already damaged devices.

Although potential savings are the best argument in favor of the new plan, it also adds a handful of new advantages for certain devices. For example, Applecare One covers theft for iPads and Apple watches, which is not covered for these devices under an Applecare + standard subscription. The subscription can also simplify the transaction process, deleting a device exchanged from your Applecare One plan and automatically replacing it with an improved device.

If you have not subscribed to Applecare + before, it works both as an extensive warranty and an insurance program. If your device suddenly breaks for reasons outside of your control, repairs and replacements are generally free from additional loads; For accidental damage, theft and loss, or battery replacements, users are charged additional flat service fees for repairs and replacements, rather than Apple labor parts and costs. Battery replacements are also free when your battery decreases below 80% of its original capacity.

Applecare One Plans will be sold from tomorrow July 24.
