Apple has announced a flat rate for repairing HomeView devices, which amounts to $279 without AppleCare insurance. This price is only $20 less than purchasing a brand-new HomeView. Apple offers two versions of the HomeView, each priced at $299, with one being wall-mounted and the other on its own base. The online repair estimator does not differentiate between the two models, listing a single service cost for "Other damage."
HomeView owners without AppleCare insurance would have to pay this $279 fee. However, those with AppleCare One or AppleCare+ insurance would only need to pay a flat-rate $39 for repairs. AppleCare+ costs $2.49 per month or $24.99 per year, and is required to use the HomeView. AppleCare One, which covers three items, is priced at $19.99 per month and could be more cost-effective if the owner has specific devices to protect.
Comparing the costs of AppleCare+ for multiple devices versus the HomeView repair fee shows that AppleCare One might be the better value in certain situations.
