AppleCare Calculator

Compares individual AppleCare+ plans against the AppleCare One bundle so you can see which is cheaper for your devices.

Live at carecompare.xyz

Overview

AppleCare One is Apple's bundled coverage plan: $19.99/month covers up to 3 devices, plus $5.99/month for each additional device. This calculator totals up what your devices would cost on individual AppleCare+ plans and compares that to the bundle price, so you can see which one actually saves you money.

All calculations run in your browser. No data is sent to a server.

Features

  • Device catalog covering the current lineup (iPhone 17 / Air, iPad Pro M5, MacBook Pro M5, MacBook Neo, Apple Watch Ultra 3, AirPods Pro 3, Vision Pro, Studio Display, and more) plus discontinued models (iPhone 15/14/SE, Watch Ultra 2, AirPods Pro 2, etc.), which are tagged "Legacy"
  • Search and category filtering to find a device
  • Prices animate smoothly to their new value instead of snapping
  • Cost bars comparing individual vs. bundle pricing on a shared scale
  • A break-even hint showing how much more coverage it would take for AppleCare One to win
  • A note on how much prepaying annually saves over monthly billing, for devices where Apple offers that option
  • Dark/light theme that follows your system setting, including when you change it while the page is open; clicking the toggle pins your choice and remembers it
  • Responsive layout for desktop, tablet, and mobile

Tech Stack

  • React 19 + TypeScript
  • Vite 8
  • Tailwind CSS 4

How It Works

  1. Select devices: browse the catalog, or filter by category and search
  2. See the math: the calculator totals individual AppleCare+ pricing and compares it to the AppleCare One bundle
  3. Get the result: it shows which option is cheaper, by how much, and any break-even or annual-prepay notes that apply

Pricing Notes

  • U.S. AppleCare+ prices checked against Apple's published rates as of July 2026 (includes the July 15, 2026 Mac/iPad price increase for new sign-ups)
  • AppleCare+ is a single tier that includes Theft & Loss on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch
  • Annual prepay is roughly 10x the monthly price (about two months free) on devices where Apple publishes an annual rate; legacy devices don't have one, so they stay on monthly billing
  • Not affiliated with Apple Inc. Always verify final pricing on Apple's official AppleCare page.
