Bent my iPad, broke my iPhone, had the battery replaced, apple care saved me an arm and a leg. It also just made replacement super easy cause they give out a new device 9 times out of 10. Then you can resell it later on.

[@Joshtheweatherman]

Battery replacements are completely free, front or back glass is $30 deductible versus $200+ at a repair shop. Accidental damage is $99 (they’ll more than likely replace your entire phone if parts cost exceeds the device value), and theft or loss is $149 deductible (they’ll definitely replace your phone then). It’s definitely worth it in the long run. Now if you get the cheapest iPhone, for example, the SE, then it might not be worth it since that phone is really cheap to get repaired.

Totally agree. Health insurance -- a must if at all possible. Devices like phones and laptops -- optional. I had $68000+ surgery and ended up paying $1200. But paying monthly, annually or even one-time to protect a device that, if worst came to worst, I could replace with something cheaper -- I'd rather spend that money on something more rewarding.

[@mikeward1701]

For most people, the upfront or low monthly cost of AppleCare and its excess if something happens, is much easier to budget for and manage than the out of warranty repair or replacement cost of an iPhone/iPad/Mac. $200 upfront or $5-15/month + $30-150 excess is a lot easier on most people’s finances than the $600+ immediate cost of repair/replacement.

[@modanafil]

If you are in the position that you can't self-insure a phone you should get your finances in order. Or else use a cheaper phone. However applecare might still be worth it depending on how often you expect to break/lose a phone (I'm clumsy and forgetful)

[@danesnick]

My partner has broken her iPhone 13 Pro Max's screen TWICE in the last 3-4 months (case but no screen protector); thankfully she has AppleCare. I think getting it is pretty individualized based on the person's individual clumsiness. Also I think her having the max phone makes her more prone to dropping it. I also have applecare on my iPhone 13, but sometimes question keeping it for that reason because I think I've only broken one screen from all the smart phones I've ever owned. Thankfully, Apple makes it pretty easy to cancel/get a partial refund if you feel like you don't need it anymore or the price doesn't justify "protecting" it anymore.

[@karinulll]

yeahh idk what this guy is talking about lol AppleCare+ is the cheapest insurance i've found and suits pretty much everyone.

[@kristenmoon4405]

I have applecare+theft for my new iPhone 14 pro max. Reason I have it is really only because I don’t use cases nor screen protectors, lol. So for me, I’m already willingly higher risk to damage so it’s worth the small cost. The biggest detractor for not getting it though, imo, is that realistically you just won’t use it.

Please use this video as a guide. The biggest thing here it’s this; if you work from home and don’t like to use cases then get the apple are+ but if your work place its like a delivery guy or construction or even in a crowded place get the theft and loss plan.

[@djswoll]

I tend to agree but did luckily have apple care on my iPhone that I cracked at the gym and I got a hassle free replacement for $29. I won’t get for any of my MacBooks or IPads but the iPhone I feel is it worth it because we carry it everywhere.

[@dielreis]

I´m this profile.... - Screen Protector right out of the store; - Phone Case, also right out of the store with it; - Extremely carefull when carryng or using the device; - Working in office with the device in my pocket or over the table. My last phones, after 2 or 3 years of usage barely seemed to be used! No Apple care for me. But I know a certain kind of people that are device destroyers, for them.... it might be very useful.

[@YesItsFoxxyy]

I can’t get with the monthly subscription. I need an annual care plan for my phone. They only offer it when you first get the device, after that time is over you pay monthly.

[@DieselDucy]

My Apple care paid for itself when I fell and broke the screen. Even after the screen repair and cost of the AppleCare it paid for itself and I was 40$ a head. The fact that I am a runner and am at higher risk of higher speed accidents so of me it is worth it.

[@zm_mihel]

@@vapidshayI’m someone who drops their phone every other day but with the right case it never breaks

[@mattbrown4833]

My girlfriend is always dropping her phone. We're talking a few times per week. Mostly these aren't an issue because she has a protective case & screen protector but you can pretty much guarantee she'll break the screen every 18 months. I drop mine maybe once per year, and I've only ever broken the screen on my phone once. Her phones also experience far more problems than mine do, I liken it to boxers getting repeated sub-concussive brain injuries. Given it's a one price for all, it makes a lot more sense for her to be insured than me. However, we get phone insurance through our bank so can each get a single repair/replace (so covers catastrophic damage, so long as we still have something recognisable as having once been a phone) for £50, then anything above that is £100. So I have a 20% chance of using it, and if I do use it it only saves me £25, so an estimated value of £5 for the 2 year cover period (okay maybe slightly higher given I could drop it multiple times, but somewhat unlikely). Given it costs £199, it's a terrible value proposition for me.

[@Ayanokoji7]

I could not disagree more. AppleCare+ is 100% worth it for a phone that you use everyday. With all the changes/updates Apple has made to AppleCare+ the past few years just makes it an even better insurance option.

Would have cost me a fortune if I didn't had Apple care+ So, you can never claim that you would be able to take good care of it.

[@the_letter_b]

Agreed, well, depending on what Apple product you have and the plan cost. If you get an SE or an older model phone (new), it may not be worth it if you're generally pretty good about not damaging your phone. But if you have the newest line, especially the pros, I think it is. If you look at the repair costs without AC for the new Pros, they are quite high. One front or back glass screen break could cost more than a year's worth of AC. Even the theft version may be worth it for the newest Pro model as the new design makes it stand out a bit more, whereas regular 14 and older models look similar going back to iPhone X. Similar for higher end MacBooks. iMacs may be fine since they are going to be sitting on a desk. The AppleCare for the AirPod Pros is even more reasonably priced and probably worth it, greatly reduces the cost of getting replacements if anything happens to them. And yeah, of course these companies do the math and set a price where they will likely profit overall from it but from our perspective, we do not know if we'll be one of the unlucky ones and without it, you will feel a lot more pressure to be careful unless you're doing well financially or someone else pays for it (company or parents).

what are your thoughts on applecare+ for macbook pro products ($2400 and up range)? noticed you just talked about the phones (which I totally agree, I don't even get insurance for mine). i dont have applecare for my phone, but for my $2800 macbook pro it was just such a high price range and locked system that I had to buy the insurance for it. I'd argue the laptops cost more to replace and also cost a lot more in general to buy, just wondering your thoughts on those

For a person who has a kid, a busy life, a dog, a carpenter husband (who I’m always helping), a nonstop schedule. I’ve used my Apple care+ 3 times in one year. I think they don’t state in most videos that they might be a single person in a household. IMO your lifestyle makes a big decision in those decisions. I don’t ever get an Apple product ($$$) without insurance.

[@DayoAworunse]

With that lifestyle, I’d probably have some type of insurance.

[@RuggedHamster]

Ndeewo, in general I agree and have never bought nor needed AppleCare+, however for my caseless new iPhone 13 mini I will certainly be getting it (after 60 days). My last phone was the OG iPhone SE 2016 and it was luckily never damaged in any way. Since the cost of repair to the mini (glass) is so high and there is no follow up mini iPhone in sight, I’d rather opt for the peace of mind on this one *if* something were to happen, despite being super careful with my hardware. Excellent channel, appreciate your content, keep it up! 😊

[@aarong311]

I think it’s worth it, even though I always have buyers remorse after. But I use my phone like a computer everyday for work plus I like to game on it. I use a case and screen protector so I’m not super worried about cracking things. From past experience, I’ve had other things go wrong such as buttons that would stop working and camera focus motor troubles. If I didn’t have applecare they said it would cost me half the price of a new phone to get the camera focusing again. So while I may have buyers remorse now, I won’t be beating myself up in the Genius Bar line about to hand over hundreds of dollars to get back up and running again.

My iPhone 14 Pro is less than a month old and I already scratched the camera with a thick case on. I’m not bothered by it since I do have AppleCare+. I’m outdoors a lot so AppleCare is a no brainer. I also am very clumsy and drop my phones at least twice daily.

[@McCov1]

Just get it. You’ll spend more $ at Starbucks. I also was the one not buying Apple Care. Until my iPad had a catastrophic malfunction right after the Apple warranty expired. It had to do with the chip, it was kind of detached from the board or something like that. To fix it, it was like performing a brain surgery, it was expensive and not many repair shops could do it. My almost new IPad became a paper weight. If I had Apple Care, for sure they would have replaced it. Lesson learned.

[@ResplendentRaider]

I’ve never had it either but thinking really hard now because like you said, you will spend that at Starbucks. I had a rage moment with my wife just last week and smashed my pristine 14PM on the glass table not once but twice. Plus if I want to rock no case its cool because I’m covered. Kinda makes sense when I just dropped nearly $1300 for the 15PM

[@sparky6757]

I just can’t see how it makes sense even if something DOES happen. If you always get the highest tier of Applecare, by the end of year 5 you’ve got the money to get a brand-new phone. That’s about how long I keep a phone. Never yet had to take an Apple device in for repairs, and I’ve always had at least one Apple device since I got an iPod Touch 2 when I was 8. Even if my brand-new iPad Air 5 that I’ve had for less than a week had something happen to it, I could just buy another one right now and be money ahead compared to if I had Applecare all this time. Something could happen to the second one, maybe even a third one, and I’d still be money ahead.

At a high level insurance exists for profit so the expected value of a policy has to be negative. However there can be some efficiencies associated with the repair process, and they effectively sell you the repair at cost.

For a phone, I would not even consider it. Spare parts are not expensive and I can fix them myself. And I usually buy second hand anyway. That’s how you get the flagship products for cheap. For MacBooks, it’s another question. I can usually fix them myself but spare parts are often very expensive. Luckily I have never dropped or otherwise damaged a laptop in 25 years. But it could very well happen. It is a bit stressful to walk around with a $3600 fragile gadget. AppleCare could at least make three years a bit less stressful.

Also, Apple has a history of not covering or fixing computers that were killed by their own manufacturing defects. For example, there was and still is a hardware defect in some Macs which results in 9 volts being sent straight into it's SSD, destroying it and the computer as a result (since the SSD cannot be replaced), and despite this being 100% the fault of a manufacturing defect, Apple has and continues to not cover it under warranty. In other words, without doing anything wrong, your Mac at any moment can destroy itself in a way Apple will refuse to take responsibility for and fix, so the only way to protect yourself from this is by purchasing Apple Care +.

If you don't need repairs you get to keep it.. almost always, you lose money in the long run by paying the juice for this AppleCare. That's why Apple sells it. You're spending a couple hundred bucks a year even on yours when you're not breaking anything. If you go back and do the math and keep track of all the deductibles and the monthly expenses on the Apple Care, I guarantee you you're losing out

There's a difference between having your phone smashed and then having no phone at all. To most likely you've been able to swap all your data over to an older phone and still having one

So, GUYS! Help me out. I always buy an otterbox case for my iphones. Otterbox Defender. And a screen protector. So, that's the one I have for my current 14 Pro Max. I got me the 1TB version because i wanted a lot of memory to last me a long time without needing to upgrade. My prior phone was the 12 Pro Max 128gb and same thing; I had the Ottberbox Defender & screen protector. During the 2yrs or so with my 12, it literally only cracked the screen protector just once. But i never replaced it since it was just the screen protector lol Mind you with some of the work I do , my phone can drop from High places like a ladder or scaffold, or slips from my pockets or kinda toss it on tables lol a bad habit of mines (not clumsy tho lol) but that case protected it so well. Even my old iPhone 8, same thing otterbox and screen protector and that one never cracked or anything. So, with the 14, I'm thinking of getting AppleCare+, mainly to have it for a battery replacement ? Worth it? my 12 pro max was getting annoying since i had to be charging it 2x a day, and my whole World like revolves being on my phone always. Plus it ran out of memory too But would applecare+ be worth it for battery? the damages and unlimited repairs doesn't really wow me given my case that i use (i'm the paranoid guy who never wants to use slim cases despite how much more you can appreciate the beautiful iPhone lol) Seems you still have to pay for the battery anyways with applecare+, so idk? So, curious to hear everyone's thought here?

[@sarasayshi]

I just bought a 14 pro max yesterday. I didn’t get apple care but now thinking I should. I had an 8 plus for 5 years with a case and screen protector. Dropped it more times than I can count. Shattered the screen protector only once which was just 2 months ago. But I do get scared something could happen not related to dropping it.

[@sadams_1100]

In the same sentence he basically said I “juggle” my phone then proceeded to say I tend to be careful when handling my iPhone💀

[@aberdeendeltaforce]

The thing is guys that those that can afford apple care + can also easily afford a new phone should it go missing or break, the probable fact is that those who are wealthy enough to take out insurance are already careful and have been well educated about money, tax and insurance so Simple fact is if your poor you can’t afford AppleCare and if your phone breaks tough luck 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Vencarter]

first time macbook user here, with regards to apple care + do you feel the same for a 14 inch m3 macbook pro? only wondering since its $279.99 for 3 years while an out of pocket battery replacement's estimated cost is $249 (before any possible hidden fees and overtime price increase).

[@Gionatorr]

They replaced shit quickly with no hassle tbh but that’s just my experience. I always gotta have it now lol

[@pierre1360]

dude it's just 100CAD / year or 269CAD not gonna kill you. The right insurance is always worth it.

[@JonathanSebastian407]

How about apple care plus vs wireless phone provider insurance (assurion)? Thanks!

[@Smonkey320]

Being in law enforcement apple care + has literally saved me hundreds on broken screens

[@kauigirl808]

I think guys should get insurance or anyone who doesn't use a bag. My phone is always in my bag. I never used insurance for 15 years but always paid for it.

[@ahsans5350]

I like this dudes personality. You got a subscribe from me 💯

[@APsGTG]

Same

[@AlexBAlixir98]

Dayo. Really good subject. Like you I don't tend to get Apple Care insurance on my apple products. I always keep my iPhones and iPads in a case with screen protector. I'm pretty careful with them as well. However, I have friends who always get Apple Care + as they feel it's worth the extra peace of mind. I respect both views.

[@chrisb3976]

From beginning to end the video was on point especially at the end. "its just a phone nothing more"

My sisters ex boyfriend works for Apple from the house, he told us that apple care isn't worth it, this was a very long time ago he said this, I don't think or can't remember if he said it's a scam, and not worth getting. I mean I take very good care of my shit, so I don't think I need it, but you never know.

[@latinreuben]

Opt-in for no insurance is like choosing the pull out method. Why gamble on tech that nowadays doesnt last as before? Peace of mind is everything.

[@tutacat]

Nah nah, your warranty doesn't cover fire damage. And AppleCare only does 1 replacement every 6 months. You have to buy smartphone or home + devices/posessions insurance. As long as it's not an american insurance company

[@barna1299]

Hi! Good video, good vibes! I've been thinking of buying a NEW SEALED 2022 MacBook Air M2 which would have the 1 year limited Apple warranty. Considering that I normally don't take my laptop out of home, I move it only from my desk to the kitchen counter and back after using, and I'm very careful with my phone, tablets and laptops, would it be worth it to still get additional AppleCare+ extended coverage..? Or is the included 1 year limited Apple warranty good enough..? How likely is it really for a 2022 MacBook Air M2, that is NEW SEALED when I receive it, to have any functionality issues within the first three years, to malfunction on its own during that time...? Thanks for your time!

[@DayoAworunse]

Pretty low based off your own experience and explanation.

[@yp3452]

Bro, I brought the iWatch charger from apple store online website it was small broken so that I can return it or not? Without any exchange

[@oSportify]

For me it wasn't worth it. I was paying monthly since I got my iPhone 12 Pro. I did the math $13.49 a month and I spent over $500 on AppleCare+ with theft and loss. I've always been careful with my things. After 3 years, today I got the battery replaced and the speaker it was covered with AppleCare. It would've costed me $218 if I didn't have it, but I would've rather paid the $218 than the $500 it cost me over the years. I cancelled it, I won't be buying it for my next phone. If you're someone who's careful, it's a waste of money. And if that rare instance happens you crack your phone, it might be cheaper to get it fixed that one time. Also a new battery is like $89, still cheaper than what you would pay on AppleCare. Not worth it unless you have the money for it or have a history of losing or breaking things.

Man, please bring up your microphone levels or edit it after so that it's normalised or on par with the outro music. When audio levels are subpar, it makes the content seem amateurish. Your content/ humour is great, it's just the audio! Just some constructive feedback :)

[@jmac_2x]

I’m gonna get apple care regardless cause I don’t use a case

[@SuthesanSA89]

Yes yes, Even it only say 2.35% in Denmark, it is still 11-15K DKK for the Pro Max, and if you buy it over a ISP you may get 1-2K discount. But it's still not cheap.! :D (Iphone 15 price tags).

[@cbastien92]

Haven’t got it and my phone is in mint condition after 2 yrs as it has always been in a case with screen protector

[@ash85239]

Does apple care plus international, I mean i bought 15 pro max in Usa with apple care plus , now i moved to uk if any damage happen will it get covered in uk

[@GuiOfficial]

Yeah, this explanation makes little to no sense. "Oh I don`t need because I am super careful". Accidents are unexpected. It will eventually fall and may brake, when that day comes you will probably think back and wish you had it. It is eithar that, or you have enough money to get a new device without caring about the broken one.

[@jouselozano4553]

I would definitely buy Apple care for AirPods if you are planning to keep them for 2-3 years

[@A4orce84]

Great video Dayo, I share the same view! But just like real life they say to: "Always use protection", I always have at least a case on my iPhone!

[@1mezion]

Wait from the chart do apple offer d option of a one off payment of $200.00 for a two year insurance plan? Also if u can afford it I say take it because s€¢t happens

[@weelebaseknowles4410]

Apple Watch owners might get Apple care but it no phone so be careful

[@adventurousspirit6628]

I totally agree, spending the money on any of these types of insurance plans generally are a waste of money. I have all Apple devices because I feel in most cases they perform better, and I love the continuity between devices. Depending on where you purchase your devices some retail stores will offer free extra coverage. Costco is one of them for Apple laptops, so no way does it make sense to spend extra money on Apple Care/Plus in that situation.

[@mamduzegobebzona]

It depends. At the begining of holiday i found A DEAD BUG INSIDE MY SCREEN in my 3 years old mac pro 2020. I regret i dont buy the apple care. But generally i agree with you :)

[@happydayzee]

@@mamduzegobebzona right, but applecare usually only works for 2 years. After that, you're on your own.

[@etwasmerkwurdig]

Hello :-) Just stumbled upon your video. I'm from Germany and i am currently thinking about apple care plus. Background: I want to get myself a Macbook Pro 2023 16" M2 Max 64GB 1TB within the next few days or weeks. It will be the most expensive product i have ever bought from apple by far. I am pretty scared of a damage within the second, third, etc. year. Should i go for apple care plus or maybe speak with my household insurance? I have no clue and are probably overthinking... Could you give me any advice? Thanks and kind regards!

[@patrickmc8779]

It is funny because I see all these comments. I have had apple products for at least 10 years+ and I have never used Apple Care. None of my devices have ever broken. I am thinkin gabout changing my macbook for the latest model as mine has 10 years old and still going. I am not sure about spending almost 500 dollars mroe for insurance on an already expensive device.

[@DayoAworunse]

They say stuff isn't built to last anymore, but I think Apple products still hold up fairly well, so you should get another decade out of a laptop
