I got the $249 Apple Care for my 256 GB XR. Damage, Theft and loss. It’s basically my iPad. I also use it for my business. it didn’t hurt as much to shell out the extra $250 since I can right it off anyway.
In general, I’m not a klutz, but still, I’ve dropped my phone like anyone else and since this phone ended up costing me more than my laptop and I basically do everything on it… thus my springing for the insurance. I remember my first iPhone, a 4S, got the volume down button stuck. I ended up using the on screen volume control for a while which sucked. it turned out to be an issue with a batch of 4S phones so Sprint in that case swapped it out for a refurbished one. Another time, I bought an iPhone 5 off of eBay. It was working fine for a while, but then the battery stopped holding a charge and the power button was acting all funky. There was a notice about a program to get certain iPhones with a wonky power button fixed at no cost so I took my phone into my local Apple store and after the guy checked it out, noticed the power button and something else with the battery and something else that I can’t remember anymore, he just exchanged it for a brand new iPhone 5. Didn’t even ask me for a receipt or anything. While I have yet to crack any of my phone’s screens and always slap a screen protector on them and have them in a case, you never know. It would suck big time to break your $300 or $400 phone and maybe at that price range, it may not make the most sense to get the insurance, but close to $1000? I got the Apple Care protection this time. From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Marie N.

Nor have I ever needed it. So I have saved enough to buy two more phones with the money I did not give to Apple. I take great care and have not gotten a lemon so far.

I still have a few weeks before the deadline for purchasing AppleCare for my XS. I’m curious how others on this list are viewing AppleCare. Any thoughts appreciated.
