Apple is announcing AppleCare One, a new AppleCare subscription that lets you cover several products with a single plan.
The plan costs $19.99 a month and covers up to three products. It costs $5.99 a month to add a new product.
You receive the same protections as with AppleCare Plus for products covered by the company, such as battery protection, limitless repairs for unintentional damage, and round-the-clock priority assistance.
The ability to add products up to four years old to your plan if you have this subscription is a major improvement over the 60-day window you have to add AppleCare Plus coverage to a product after you purchase it.
But according to Apple, if you add older devices to the subscription, they must be in a ‘good condition.’ The company will perform diagnostic tests on the device before adding it to your Apple $20 plan.
Additionally, Apple will let you include headphones in its new subscription plan if they are under a year old.
Starting on July 24, you can enroll in AppleCare One at an Apple Store or from your Mac, iPhone, or iPad, according to Apple.
AppleCare One is one of Apple’s newest services, which combines several Apple services into a single plan. The company announced that its services revenue hit another record-breaking high last quarter.
