Apple introduces Apple Care One Family, a single subscription covering every Apple device owned by one household. The plan launches first in the United States after the individual Apple Care One tier debuted. It replaces the prior setup that required separate subscriptions for each family member to protect up to three devices. Apple has not disclosed pricing or device limits.

⚐ CORRECTEDThursday, September 10, 2026 at 6:37 PM EDT

Corrected branding to AppleCare One Family and replaced “price not disclosed” with official $49.99/month coverage for up to six Family Sharing members.

→ All corrections
Apple is broadening its device protection service with the addition of AppleCare One Family, a single-subscription offering that covers every Apple product owned by members of one household.

Apple expands its insurance offerings. The company introduced the plan during its keynote at the apple-special-event-2026, only hours after debuting AppleCare One.
That structure left households unable to insure multiple users or additional iPhones under one account.

When AppleCare One launched in France, Frandroid reported that the absence of a household-wide option forced each family member to maintain a separate subscription.

Current AppleCare coverage explained. AppleCare is the umbrella name for the company’s protection plans. Through AppleCare+, subscribers pay each month for coverage against accidental damage or theft.

The earlier AppleCare One tier protects up to three personal devices per subscriber, for instance an iPhone, an Apple Watch and a Mac. That structure left households unable to insure multiple users or additional iPhones under one account.
Apple Care One itself took a year to reach France after its American debut.

AppleCare One Family targets households. The new tier is built to insure every Apple product belonging to a single household under one recurring fee. AppleCare One Family costs $49.99 per month in the U.S. and covers eligible devices for up to six people in a Family Sharing group.
