Not sure if wanna get it. All my iphones do not have applecare yet nothing happen so far.

Sigh

U buy travel insurance with the expectation of missing your flight or being mugged?

Travel insurance is a life/death situation IPhone is not.

Do you guys think applecare is worth getting? Getting the ip12 for my wife.. dunno whether to spend another $260+ or not..

If you buying the Apple case, maybe you can opt not to and use it naked. If crack then pay $42 for screen replacement. With express replacement service, it means new battery too

Looks like magsafe charger is totally useless in charging other devices

But it works for the iPhone 12 with normal case

Anyone collected from Courts?

For the amount of $$$ we are paying for the device, it may well be a case of life and death

a long time ago, i got into a cycling accident

my iPhone X that has applecare - intact
my Macbook Pro 15" 2017 top-spec in-store purchase, with applecare - intact
my Apple Watch S3 GPS, no applecare - very bad crack screen

(and myself - stitches and gauze pads all over face, arm, and leg)

in the end have to painfully buy new Apple Watch

moral of the story - buy Applecare, unless you plan to treat the phone as burner/secondary phone (for example my current iPhone SE 2020)

I agree. No matter how we baby the phone, things can happen and it will be very expensive to repair without AppleCare

For example, you can go out and replace the screen but you will not get the same oled screen, while Apple will charge an arm without Apple care

You can choose not to. Iphone is never a essential. i’m using an iPhone 8. I took care of my phone with UAG case. I dropped my phone once in the corner with tempered Glass. It cracked but only the tempered glass cracked not the screen. It’s how you take care of your phone.

Correct. My 6s Plus of 5 years only cracked screen protector afew times.

That’s almost new. I have never had any issues with refurbished sets. Most importantly, it comes with new battery

And at times, I got new sets, not those in white box (twice already) not sure how they decide but when it comes new, I ain’t going to complain

 

[tohchr]

they think by holding the price will go up

Yes, it did go up. I meant the supply went up and price went down. Lol

iPhone warranty starts from date of activation or follow invoice date?

Invoice date is your date of activation.

It's not just the screen. I also take good of my phone but i got a battery issue just as my AC+ was about to expire, when otherwise I would need to pay for it. It was replaced FOC and within 2 hours.

That to me is the value of AC+, but you could argue paying for the battery replacement is still cheaper than paying $200+ for AC+.....

Dun forget that although u pay less for the repair, you paid for the applecare beforehand.

Almost new but still not new. But true also, Apple certified shouldn't go wrong. But its more of a personal thing for me I quite particular about such

Can check model number to see if your set is new or refurbished

Yes. Its like insurance. I buy healthcare and hope it doesn’t happen but when it does, I pay minimal.

Most of the time I will at least claim for battery. And had claimed for cracked screen, water damage, electronic fault etc

And express replacement service damn good. Sit and wait for new phone at home, then you have 2 weeks to return your old device

Anyway it is not necessary as Apple has great products. But I think it is good value to pay this 15% to lengthen the warranty by 1 year, with the additional peaks
