The price difference between AppleCare+ and Squaretrade is now significant for the iPhone 5s.
AppleCare+ price: $99
Squaretrade price (with coupon): $95
AppleCare+ deductible: $79
Squaretrade deductible: $50
AppleCare+ claim limits: 2 claims total
Squaretrade claim limits: up to 4 claims or payments up to the total value of the device $649 for 16GB)
Squaretrade will reimburse you for your costs minus the deductible if you get the phone fixed at Apple's Genius Bar or will cross-ship to you if you don't want to front the repair costs at the Genius Bar.
Seems like Squaretrade is now the better deal.
