I don’t have any active AppleCare+ plans. I have a MacBook Air M2 purchased in October 2022, and I’d like to know if I can enroll this MacBook in AppleCare One without buying any new device, or if AppleCare One still requires the device to have been purchased within the last 60 days (like AppleCare+).
I tried to purchase AppleCare One, but it said my coverage was already expired.
MacBook Air
AppleCare One was announced supporting devices up to four years old. So, OP actually can add it to their 2022 MacBook, but they do have to buy a new device to start the subscription (this can be a phone, AirPods, etc.) After that,
I confirmed this with Apple support recently and then was able to add my 2022 MBP to my AppleCare One plan, but I did have to purchase.a new device to be able to start the AppleCare One plan.

You can ask Apple, but it's HUGELY unlikely you can buy AppleCare One on your devices. Your devices came with a one year standard AppleCare plan as do all Apple devices. If you didn't add AppleCare+ within 60 days of purchase, Apple isn't going to make an exception two years later.

Just a short update. Apple limits putting devices under AppleCare One protection to only devices that have been bought in the US, and my MacBook Air M2 was bought in Canada, so I need to wait until AppleCare One is available in Canada to add my device.
Unfortunately no man, everywhere i try it only says coverage expired, which I don’t understand since it’s a 2022 MacBook Air m2

Can I buy AppleCare One to an older device without AppleCare+?
