- jjeaff 5y agoWhat are you talking about? It's not free, there is a deductible. And it's not anytime you want. It's a maximum of 2 incidences per year. So you pay $200 a year plus $30 for cracking your screen. Or $150 for loss or theft. I'm guessing you could get a third party screen repair for less than $230.
- FDSGSG 5y agoOh, Apple stores will waive the deductible if you ask. They don't even try to charge it if your device was originally sold in the EU. I've replaced two iphones in the past month, didn't pay a deductible for either. If you break your phone more than twice a year, a regular phone case probably isn't going to cut it. >I'm guessing you could get a third party screen repair for less than $230. Yes, but not 4 third party screen repairs and definitely not even one replacement phone. I've had two total losses in my 2 year applecare period, once the phone was damaged on both sides by a police baton and once by a falling dumbbell. A normal phone case wouldn't have been enough in either of these situations.
- jjeaff 5y agoFor 2 years of applecare, the price would be double. Still, if you frequently break it twice a year, then I guess apple care is your best bet. But I don't usually use a case at all and I guess I'm just not that rough on them.
