Apple Rolls Out AppleCare One in Germany

Bundling could make multi-device coverage cheaper for many households given Apple’s published deductibles and eligibility rules.

Overview

  • Apple will start selling AppleCare One in Germany on Tuesday, August 4, offering coverage for up to three qualified devices for €20.99 per month and €5.99 per additional device.
  • The plan covers theft and loss for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, provides unlimited accidental-damage repairs, battery service and priority Apple support, and excludes theft replacement for Macs and some accessories.
  • Customers can enroll devices up to four years old (headphones limited to one year), must have devices tied to their Apple account and in good condition, and may add or remove devices after purchase with inspections or diagnostics as needed.
  • Apple published a device-specific deductible schedule that sets repair and replacement fees (examples: iPhone theft replacement €129, iPhone repair €29 or €99, Apple Watch repair €65–75, watch theft replacement €119) and says battery swaps carry no deductible.
  • The plan can save money for some households depending on their device mix, repairs and replacements are done at Apple Stores or authorized service providers using original parts, and coverage documents show a discrepancy on whether theft/loss incidents are limited to two or three per year.
