iPhone, iPad, and Mac users in the United States can now sign up for AppleCare One Family, a new AppleCare plan that covers the Apple products of up to six people.
AppleCare One Family offers the same benefits as AppleCare+, including protection from accidental damage 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 of the eligible Apple devices in a Family Sharing group. All devices already protected by AppleCare at the time of signup 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 complete a device check to confirm the device is in good condition. Devices not in good working condition 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, though Apple says the plan covers a maximum of six Vision Pro headsets.
All devices added to AppleCare Family remain covered for as long as the plan is active. Devices have to check in with Apple's servers at least once every 12 months, and Apple can remove a device if service parts are unavailable.
AppleCare One Family is limited to the United States, and all devices need to be signed in to the Apple Account of a family member to be covered. If someone signs out and another account not in the family group signs in, coverage ends. More limits are outlined on Apple's support page for the feature.
Any adult member of a Family Sharing group can start an AppleCare One Family plan. If Purchase Sharing is turned on, 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 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.
