I looked at the numbers for this for my personal devices:

- My iPhone is currently covered by apple care with the upgrade program but it does not have loss or theft, which would be an additional $4.16 a month (normally $10 a month)

- My Mac: $3.49 a month (doesnt include loss or theft)

- My iPad: $4.99

- Apple Watch: $2.99

- 2 different airpods, $15 a year each. $30 a year total. Roughly $2.50 a month

This is not including any homepods or apple tv's since I just don't see the point.

Even ignoring the difference in price with the upgrade program the best I can get for 3 devices would be iPhone + iPad + Mac coming to $18.

The $5.99 for adding more devices is more than every device except for an iPhone outside of the upgrade program.

The only people I really see benefiting are those with Apple Vision Pro since that is $25 a month. What am I missing about their calculation for this saving money?

I got all of these numbers from this page: https://www.apple.com/applecare/
