Apple added yet another subscription service to its roster last summer in the form of AppleCare One, and it now appears that the company is preparing to launch it in Europe.

AppleCare One
AppleCare+ allows you to extend the warranty period of any of your Apple hardware in return for an annual or monthly premium. AppleCare One allows you to apply this coverage to multiple products within a single plan.
The new warranty option was launched in July of last year, but only within the US.
In the United States, AppleCare One costs $19.99/month and covers up to three products. Additional hardware can be added for an additional $5.99/month. For example, you can protect an iPhone, iPad, and Mac for $19.99/month, then add an Apple Watch as the fourth product for $5.99/month. This provides AppleCare+ coverage to all four products for $25.98/month.
