Cheaper to just buy apple care
- swatcoder 2y agoIs it really good to treat things as disposable just because price incentives happen to make doing so cost efficient? If the GP has a lifestyle that's hard on their watch, good on them for selecting the durable product that can survive it instead of churning needless extraction, labor, shipping, time, and e-waste.
- paulcole 2y agoI don’t think it’s bad to treat things as disposable. I think it’s easy to scoff at (and look down on) someone who does treat things as disposable. But the reality is that we all (in the developed world) treat everything as if it’s disposable. But we just like to think that we’re mindful or whatever because it makes us feel good.

- 8ytecoder 2y agoAppleCare now has monthly until you cancel plans - not just for watch but for phone and even the monitor. (I'm not sure of the macs). It's a bit confusing when you order and I'm not sure if it's because Apple is trying to discourage this; I just decline during order and then add it separately and this option always shows up for me.
- ValentineC 2y agoAppleCare+, since 2019, has been renewable (presumably until Apple declares the product obsolete) for most products except the AirPods (in my experience) in the following countries [1]: Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States [1] https://support.apple.com/en-us/101560 https://support.apple.com/en-us/101560
- gensym 2y agoTIL - thanks!
- Kirby64 2y agoYou can buy AppleCare+ monthly indefinitely (until they EOL the device) at a monthly rate. You can even renew it after the 2 year length into a monthly plan.
