DOES NOT cover loss or theft and its a $50 ded for physical damage
For the Verizon people -
Is the insurance really worth it? I think it works out to almost 200 dollars over the life of the contract (or up to the upgrade time after 20 months). The most likely problem is some type of hardware failure, which would be an Apple Warranty issue.
Suppose nothing happens to it. I've now paid $200 for a device for nothing. And if it is lost/stolen/broken, that has a street value of, what, $500 to $800 to replace? Except that if I lose it a year from now, it won't even be the newest Apple phone anymore, and worth considerably less.
I dunno. I dropped my BlackBerry frequently, but I'm putting this thing in an Otterbox and going to really try to avoid breaking it. Does EVERYBODY get some type of insurance, or has anyone else looked at the cost/benefits and said no?

Plus $169.00 deductible so IMHO it is absolutely not worth it...
Just sticking with apple care+ myself.
Thanks for the discussion, everyone. Making this decision later today, so it is appreciated.as with all insurance it's only valuable IF something happens. You can have it for 10 months 15 months etc and nothing happens to your device but you have the assurance of knowing that if something goes wrong you don't have to come out of pocket $600 for a new iPhone.
sure over the course of your contract you may end up spending $10 bucks a month for insurance and then the price of the deductible so technically you've bought a new iPhone but in the event something happens only having to spend $170 for a 16gb and 199 for a 32GB iPhone for replacing it lost/stolen is not bad at all.
Currently I want a 64gb 4S which is $850 unsubsidized, imagine being FORCED to replace that because it was stolen or lost somewhere.
Also I don't agree with having both AC and carrier insurance. I went wiht carrier insurance because it covers lost (verizon) and the iphone already comes with a year so in my case I want a 4S that will have ANOTHER year warranty so I'm basically good.
ALSO you can buy applecare anytime within that year and activate it. Carrier insurance you only have two weeks after you get your device to activate the insurance so you really have to act quickly.

On apples website it says you have to buy AppleCare+ within 30 days of getting the phone
