I'm purchasing the IPhone XS tomorrow. My question is, should I get the Applecare? They were really pushing it hard today from Best Buy, but I don't know if it's worth it. I'm usually pretty careful with my phone. Is it worth it to pay $199?
After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.

I never get it.. considering the price and so far I have had every phone since iPhone 3. So far, not one broke/damaged. Add up all the Apple Care costs I did not pay... I could buy two iPhone Xs's from what I saved.
Lol you better go knock on some wood
If you upgrade every year then you may not need it. If you just want the peace of mind then get it.
I get it for the peace of mind, knowing after spending so much on a phone, that if an accident (they do happen) were to occur that I would be covered. I tend to upgrade on an annual basis and the AppleCare+ has in cases helped me sell the phone. The buyer has comfort in knowing they are covered too. IF, the buyer does not want to pay a little more because it has AppleCare+ I simply sell the phone without it and contact Apple for a prorated refund. Not sure if that is an option everywhere but it is in Canada. Cheers.

I received my iPhone XS Max from Best Buy yesterday and they gave me the option to pay $14.99/month for AppleCare+ with loss and theft protection. That's a little easier to swallow than $200 upfront.
