My iPhone X screen cracked falling out of my car door onto concrete. 80 days of ownership in. AppleCare FTW. I’ve never had an iPhone display crack so easily.

- brisance 9y agoMy glass screen didn’t crack but it did cause the OLED to break. https://imgur.com/a/mIq13 https://imgur.com/a/mIq13 AppleCare Plus FTW, indeed.
- PakG1 9y agoI really would prefer not to pay extra hundreds of dollars just so that I don't need to choose the cheap option for repair in order to keep my warranty. But it is what it is.
- ethagknight 9y agoI certainly understand. As a counter point and a bit of the (probably faulty) logic for why i choose no case + AppleCare: I’ve managed to break screens in cases in prior iphones. I’ve used local screen replacement shops and have been totally unimpressed with the quality of replacement i.e. I’m convinced i did not receive a remotely comparable screen to Apple’s OEM. I use my phone all day every day for work. I keep my phone in my jeans pocket and really prefer the no-case slim fit. Cheap cases tend to last me 6 months a pop before getting ratty looking, so i can either spend $50 on a nice Otterbox or other quality case or $15*4 for a new cheap case every so often. Apple care, expensive though it may be, gets me a few mulligans while also providing broader coverage against other unknown damage or warranty issues, something even the nicest Otterbox style cases won’t afford me. It’s all a trade off. My preference is expensive but I historically break a screen every year, why not plan accordingly.
