You are a good candidate for AppleCare. You will worry about the phone a lot less and be able to afford repairs. As for email, why limit yourself to just one?

You are a good candidate for AppleCare. You will worry about the phone a lot less and be able to afford repairs.
As for email, why limit yourself to just one? If you really want to dump Gmail then buy a domain and sign up with the email provider of your choice. It isn’t expensive and is easier than you think. Then you aren’t platform locked at all.
- bigbaldhead 1y agoI don't know where you live but here in Italy when I discovered Applecare it had already expired without the possibility of activating it
- al_borland 1y agoThey have a new service (not sure if it’s in Italy yet), where you can get AppleCare at any time, not just within the first 60(?) days. The catch is that it’s designed for people who have multiple Apple products they want to protect. If you just have the iPhone, it wouldn’t make sense.
- bigbaldhead 1y agodo you know the name of the new service?
- al_borland 1y agoAppleCare One. Here is the press release. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/07/apple-introduces-applecare-one-streamlining-coverage-into-a-single-plan/ https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/07/apple-introduces-appl...
- bigbaldhead 1y agolooking at the site I found it but it tells me that I don't have any suitable device, I have an iPhone 15 so I don't think it's the fault of the device but of the country
- al_borland 1y agoThis is possible. I think devices outside of the normal range may need inspection to be added. If it would an inspection issue, I’d expect it would tell you that instead of saying it wasn’t eligible.

- bigbaldhead 1y agofor me it would be useless (I think) to buy a domain, I don't send many emails (about a couple a month) I just have to receive them. in my country we only use whatsapp for everything, emails only when you have to deal with government services or sign-up to social media and stuff
