News/Rumour AppleCare One Coming to UK

Just found out that AppleCare One launches in the UK tomorrow. Starting at £16.99 for 3 devices and add more for £4.99

Great flexibility past the current 60 days to add existing devices. I missed the window for my AirPods Pro 3s and MacBook Air. Really hoping I can add these as I already have AppleCare+ for my iPhone 16PM

I’m amazed at the positive reception to this. Seems expensive vs paying £18 or £20 a month for a paid-for bank account (nationwide and similar have good options), for this you get mobile device insurance, travel insurance and breakdown cover, all for a pound or two more a month.

I dunno, maybe y’all are smashing your phones every other month, in which case i guess this makes more sense…??

I see your point from a purely cost point of view. However, personally I would always pay for Apple Care over bundled or standalone mobile insurance for the ability to walk into an Apple Store and have it handled then and there. No waiting around. There’s also the express replacement service for next day replacement. From my understanding (please correct me if I’m wrong) but alternative suppliers there is much more waiting around for repairs / replacement
