IUP also has AC+ as part of the package so if it was an IUP purchase the OP would have accidental coverage.

He may have a Verizon, AT&T IUP. He never clarified whether he owns it outright or is financing. Regardless, you’re correct about Apple IUP
Hey guys, haven't noticed any new answers, so thanks 
My phone is not financed (paid cash €€€) but also bought at a retail store, not from Apple. I am indeed from Germany and thought it would be a good thing to get the protection plan. I now realize it's just an extension of the base warranty with free telephone support etc., which I don't need anyway. I should have done my research earlier, that's for sure.
Anyway. I made a vinyl skin for the back and got a new, semi transparent case, and now it looks pretty again ;-)
Not sure if I'll keep the phone for testing (working as a dev) or if I'll sell it for cheap next year when the iPhone 12 is out.
Found some guys that replace the back glass for less than 640€, but I guess it involves manually breaking away the remaining glass with force, and I don't think I want to risk that. Found some YT videos about some shops removing the back glass with a laser, but I guess there aren't any of these dudes anywhere near my location. Maybe next year.
