AppleCare

Today, I provide a public service, particularly on the eve of the introduction of the brand-new iPhone7 and iPhone 7+.  Here is the advice: Get AppleCare.

AppleCare+ for iPhone

Every iPhone comes with one year of hardware repair coverage through its limited warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary support. AppleCare+ for iPhone extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPhone(1) and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a service fee of $29 for screen damage, or $99 for any other damage, plus applicable tax.(2) In addition, you’ll get 24/7 priority access to Apple experts via chat or phone through getsupport.apple.com.

I own an iPhone6. I have owned this device for 22 months. Approximately 6 months ago, I cracked my screen and under the AppleCare that I had paid for at purchase, the phone was quickly fixed for a small service charge.  Two months ago, I dropped my phone again, and cracked the screen again. This time I didn't rush out to the Apple Store to get it fixed. Three days ago, I got myself (and my iPhone) completely submerged briefly in water at Matthiessen State Park while enjoying the waterfall. This was the end of my phone. My AppleCare plan has about 40 days left on it. Last night I was issued a brand-new iPhone6 for a small service charge of only $79.00 (As the retail price of this phone is currently $749.00 this seemed like a good deal).  Everyone gets two shots to have accidental damage covered - I have used up my two times. Now it might be time to be a bit extra careful. The coverage would have expired in about 40 days anyway.  It is always a good decision to add AppleCare to the purchase price of an Apple product.  I used to think that the replacement phones were refurbished.  I learned yesterday that the replacement phones are actually brand-new. This means that my battery is brand-new and that I should be able to enjoy this device for quite some time.
