iPhone, iPad, and Mac users in the United States can now sign up for AppleCare One Family, a new AppleCare plan that covers Apple products for up to six people.
AppleCare One Family offers the same benefits as AppleCare+, including accidental damage protection as well as theft and loss protection for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. The same service fees and deductibles apply, and up to six loss and theft claims are available across the family per year.
AppleCare One Family is priced at $49.99 per month and covers all eligible Apple devices in a Family Sharing group. Any devices already protected by AppleCare at the time of enrollment and devices purchased less than 60 days ago are automatically enrolled in AppleCare One Family during setup.
Other devices up to four years old (or one year for AirPods and Beats) can also be added, but users may need to perform a device check to confirm the device is in good condition. Devices that are not in good working order cannot be added to the plan.
There are few limits on the number of devices that can be added. A family’s entire product list will be covered, although Apple says the plan covers a maximum of six Vision Pro headsets.
All devices added to the AppleCare family remain covered for as long as the plan is active. Devices must register with Apple’s servers at least once every 12 months, and Apple may remove a device if replacement parts are not available.
AppleCare One Family is limited to the United States and all devices must be connected to a family member’s Apple account to be covered. If someone logs out and another account not in the family group logs in, coverage ends. Other limitations are described on Apple’s support page for this feature.
Any adult member of a Family Sharing group can start an AppleCare One Family plan. If purchase sharing is enabled, the Family Organizer will automatically pay the subscription price, but Apple says the plan subscriber can choose to use their own payment method for the plan.
AppleCare One Family is an alternative to AppleCare One, the $19.99/month subscription that Apple introduced in July 2025. AppleCare One is limited to three devices, but coverage can be added for additional devices at $5.99 per month each.
