The issue here is that it doesn't stop at $129. You continue paying into it. Unless this has changed recently, this is the reason I decided against it. After 24 months you've paid an extra $70 or so.
Interesting! I've never considered buying AppleCare through Best Buy and now it doesn't look like I will in the future either.
I thought the same, but if you change phone yearly, it's only 95.88 unless for some reason you are locked in longer. I think I'd still rather just pay for it outright but realize that's not always something that people can do.
