Have you done Apple Care?
I 1000% ALWAYS get Apple Care!!!

I can not tell you how much it's saved my life. From iPhone's to iPad's, Watches and iMac's and laptops, no matter how well you keep it, intend to keep care of it, even if it sits on a desk, something will always die and need attention. I've saved thousands of dollars thanks to Apple Care.
 
having apple care saved my 16 pro max when selling. i got it replaced and sold for like 650-700 instead of a scratched screen for like 150....now i know i will have it for every device i can
 
This:
Generally, it comes down to how clumsy you are and whether you can easily pay out of pocket for a replacement or repair. Oh, and if you have kids, that may be a pretty big factor.

I’ve dropped all of my previous iPads once (each) — D’oh! I didn’t have AppleCare+. The iPad 2 and 6th generation iPad survived well enough. However, the M1 iPad Pro I had to replace, a $500 charge. So, AC+ would have been worthwhile then.

One more thing I’ll mention because it’s a common discussion… Don’t get AppleCare for ‘free’ battery replacements. Modern batteries — even if you’re a digital addict — have a more than sufficient (actual) lifespan. Decades ago, AppleCare was logical as batteries would legitimately be (truly) unusably aged in a few years. But you won’t get value now (PERIOD)

I do for my phones and vision pro. So at that point Apple Care One made sense to me since AC+ for the vision pro is a solid $20 a month vs 20 a month for 3 devices.
Agreed. AppleCare+ seems like a worthwhile gamble for the AVP. And, yes, AppleCare One is the same cost as the single device, Vision Pro only, price. So, yeah, now I have my iPad Pro and iPhone also covered.
