applecare isnt worth it anymore since it's $99 upfront + $99 to get a replacement refurb, $200 is almost half the value of the drat phone, more if you factor in depreciation over 2 years

so $450 my friend

Dang, when did that happen? I though the first accidental damage replacement was like $20

Endless Mike
Aug 13, 2003



it was originally $50, but they've been upping it the last few phone releases. i think they realized people were intentionally busting their phones right around launch of a new one so they can sell a pristine one.

that said, i think the replacement costs still stick with whatever was the case when the specific phone was launched, so an se might be $80, rather than $100, but still not worth it.

Asymmetric POSTer
Aug 17, 2005

they've made it worse every year

when it came out with the 5 it was $99 + $49 to get a replacement

then $99 + $79

now $99 + $99 for the se/older phones and $129 + $99 for the current and second most recent model phones lmao

screen repairs are "only" $29 if you have it but you still paid that $99/$129 up front so unless you plan on busting your screen multiple times in 2 years it's not worth it

a screen replacement is $129-$149 in store

I've been pretty lucky with my AppleCare then. My 3GS had a radio chipset failure that they replaced at 20mo in for no cost and my 5 had the power button failure around the same time, no charge. Would have been screwed without it both times.

if i bought it for all of my last 3 iphones that's more than 2/3rds the cost of a new se

applecare does extend your warranty for another year, so if your battery shits itself, you can get a free replacement, but still not worth $99 unless you're fastballing your phone every other week while burning through battery

I had to get a iPad Air screen replaced within 4 weeks of purchase and they gave me a new one instead no charge. being white has its perks
