New Family Plan Introduced
Apple has introduced a new tier for its AppleCare insurance in the US, called AppleCare One Family. This plan is priced at $50 per month and is designed to cover multiple devices for several users. It was announced during the launch event for the iPhone Duo and iPhone 18.
Coverage Details
The AppleCare One Family plan covers all eligible devices for up to six family members. Eligible devices are typically most Apple products less than four years old. Members can add existing devices, and new purchases linked to their Apple ID are automatically included. This contrasts with the basic AppleCare+ plan, which covers one device, and AppleCare One for individuals, which covers three devices under a single Apple ID.
Claim Limits and Benefits
The family plan allows for a total of six theft and loss claims per year. This provides one claim per person if there are six members, compared to two claims for AppleCare+ and three for AppleCare One individual plans. In addition to theft and loss, the family plan includes other AppleCare+ benefits such as no-cost battery replacement and repairs for accidental damage, screens, and back glass.
Subscription Requirements
To subscribe to AppleCare One Family, users must first set up Family Sharing. This involves navigating to Settings > Apple ID > Family on an Apple device, tapping the icon, and inviting up to five members. Once Family Sharing is established, the subscription can be initiated through AppleCare & Warranty in General under Settings.
