genuine question: is apple care+ worth it?

Submitted by moxie-girl t3_10uwzck in iphone

I recently got my iPhone 14 and was thinking of getting an apple care+ with loss and theft. I also considered getting one from my carrier but I probably won’t stay in their postpaid for long term, so maybe that cancels out.

is it worth? I had my 13 mini for about a year and didn’t get it, and I didn’t have any problem whatsoever even after going caseless. I have it on my iPad though.

No. Until you smash your phone then it's the best purchase you ever made

Depends. For me is not, I have not smash a phone since the iPhone 3GS… brand new, left it on top of my car while pumping gas… and that was it.. 18 wheeler went over it when I drop off Loves. For my niece yes, she has smash every single phone without fail.

How about you?

Found out I was paying AT&T $8.99 a month for phone protection. I just bought an iPhone 14 Red and canceled the AT&T coverage and bought AppleCare. It’s a better deal and likely better coverage.

The rule is simple for every insurance - if you can afford repairing it yourself it is not worth it. It apply to cars, homes and everything else.

I did one thing because i wanted to go close to case less with my 14 Pro Max. That was 1 phone call to Apple support and asked how much to replace the screen by Apple in Australia. They quoted $650. So I got Apple Care. I suppose it depends on your own personal situation financially and is the cost of replacement an acceptable risk🤷‍♂️

If you're going to keep your iphone for years, then it might be worth it to pay the monthly one

i never get it, but i upgrade every years
