Apple Care Plus covers 2 accidental damage replacements, it doesn't matter if you drop it in the toilet or drive over it with the car. A Couple of years ago I fell on my 5S and bend it and received a replacement for a $79.99 fee. The fee for the 6S and 6S Plus has gone up to $129.99 just as Apple Care Plus has gone up significantly from $99.99 to $169.99. Some of this is due to the lower value of the Canadian Dollar, but the price has also gone up in the States simply because the phones are more expensive.
