    AppleCare in full or monthly?

    So I get that AppleCare+ on the S4 is $79 in full for 24 months or $3.99/month for up to 24 months (adds up to $96 over 24 months). Paid-in-full is the better deal, right? You can cancel the paid-in-full at anytime for a prorated refund. Am I missing something?

    I've sold my iPhone from the iPhone upgrade program, I've cancelled AppleCare, can the new owner purchase AppleCare again for the device before the 12 months is up? Edit - plan was to cancel AppleCare when they receive the device.

I found a seller on ebay who offered the previous version AppleCare. Not until I purchased it for ca. $230 using a coupon off, he revealed...
