AppleCare+ With Theft and Loss Coverage for iPad and Apple Watch Launching in More Countries
AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss plans for the iPad and Apple Watch will be available starting Tuesday, August 4 in four additional countries, including Australia, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

These plans provide coverage for up to two incidents of theft or loss every 12 months, with each incident subject to a service fee.
AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss was already available for the iPhone in these countries. In the U.K., for example, AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss for an iPhone 17 Pro costs £11.99 per month or £239 upfront. If the iPhone were to be lost or stolen, you would be required to pay an additional service fee of £109 per incident.
The standard AppleCare+ benefits are included with the Theft and Loss plans too, including repairs for accidental damage and 24/7 priority tech support.
AppleCare One is launching in the same four countries on August 4 as well.
