Took the plunge and got Apple Care

[keysurfer64]

Yes, and you can get Apple Care from AT&T OR directly from Apple.
If from Apple, they will have you perform some steps to confirm your device hasn't got any water damage, then send you a link to pay for it...

Thank you, what is the monthly charge for Apple Care for the IPhone X?

I sold several iPhone with AppleCare and never asked for a refund. My word worth more than a few dollars

I’m sure. But the next person may not be as honest as you are. All I’m pointing out.

 

[BreakingKayfabe]

Hmm, I didn't know that. Plus, I've asked many times to transfer my Apple Care from device A-to-B, and they never offered the pro-rated option. Well, at least I now know. Thanks...

You can remove Apple Care from any device you have bought it for no matter the reason. What’s the length, two years? I forgot. But if you buy it for a device in January 2018 and decide to remove it in July 2018, you get your prorated portion for the remaining 18 months refunded.

I have both AppleCare+ and insurance through T-Mobile because AppleCare+ doesn't cover loss or theft. Yes, I'm paying twice, but at least I know I can get a replacement if I lose my device.

And AppleCare+ is totally worth it. I love knowing that if I damage the screen on my device, I can just walk into an Apple Store and they'll take care of me right away.

Why are you paying twice? My T-Mo insurance includes AppleCare+

No monthly charge...it’s 199 outright

Always remember that you can buy a device that has Apple Care from someone and that person can easily turn around and remove it to get their pro-rated refund. There’s not really any “transfer” with Apple.

Here's the help link from Apple on how to do it:

I don't think mine does. It's not listed as one of the things that's included. Maybe it's because I got my X at Best Buy and I'm paying for AppleCare+ through Best Buy.

Best Buy charges monthly, I think it was $9.99/mo for the X

Oh ok. The only reason I agreed to carrier insurance is because it includes AppleCare. I usually don't get it for phones b/c I rarely keep them long enough. Repairs are just so darn expensive on the X though. Wasn't gonna risk it.

Normally I never get Apple Care plus, but I just might spend the 200 and get it on my X. This one has a glass back and was a thousand dollar investment. Better to be safe, then sorry.

AppleCare comes included with TMo's insurance and includes lost or stolen, so I just went that route.

Me too.

Not really. It’s only $12 a month for both. Unless they suckered you into the $15 a month one.

my buddy sold almost everything he had old apple watch and iphone 7. iphone 6... still not enough money so he borrowed money from his mom and had just enough for the iphone but not enough for apple care or a case. CRAZY

 

[knotsure]

If you trade in every year, don’t forget you can get a refund of the (prorated) unused AppleCare. After one year I got $66 back last year.

I usually do AppleCare but I took out the Verizon plan this time because a) crack screen replacement is the same cost as apple $29 (it was $49 with Verizon) and if I lose my $1000+ iPhone it’s only $199 for a refurbished unit, Apple doesn’t cover lost or stolen?

So I’m I missing something other then it’s a little more expensive, I’m paying $9 a month for the coverage.

I would like to hear your thoughts?

 

[robinhelene]

Apple Care is convenient...you can go into any Apple Store and get things dealt with right away. Not so with Verizon.

I pay $12 a month with T-Mobile for their insurance but I get their regular insurance for loss and theft and they also add Apple Care+ as well. I did check my serial number on Apple site and after about 3 days they really did add it.

 

[shutter]

I also got AppleCare+, I think it’s pretty silly not to have something when the X has been dubbed the most breakable iPhone yet.

My son is getting AppleCare+ for his X, and my wife and daughter have carrier insurance for their 8 and 8+.

If you crack your screen with Verizon, how is it handled? Apple will replace the screen on-site, is Verizon set up to do that or do they have to send it out? While it doesn't cover loss or theft, I like that with Apple Care I can take it to a local store and be taken care of.

Thanks for reminding me. I forgot to check to see if mine is active. I did the same plan on TMo.
