Apple will no longer let you get a replacement iphone. So apple+ might be a good idea. IF you can't use your CC for insurance.
Where does it say this? That's impossible if they won't let you get a replacement if it is damaged.

It sounds like theyre still working out the kinks, but if you ordered from a carrier and don't want to drive hours to a store I would try calling the carrier on Friday. I know that ATT sells regular Applecare and was told they will have the product # for + on Friday. So try calling then and if there's still nothing your carrier can do, take the drive over to apple.

I was right. Apple out of warranty is now $199 for iPhone 4S and $149 for iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G and original iPhone. It's posted on their website.

In my opinion unless you are absolutely clumsy with your electronics it's not worth it.

forgive me for being stupid but in the UK when you go to buy an iPhone 4s there is only AppleCare (normal); am i right is assuming the + now covers accidental damage as it doesnt appear in our T&C as its out of scope.
In the States AC and AC+ are separate products, so it seems as if AC+ hasn't made it to your market yet. You are correct in that AC+ covers accidental damage, the previous AC does not.
AppleCare + is a complete waste of money for the vast majority of people.
Do the math. $99 plus $49 service fee means about $150 if you accidentally damage your phone. You get 2 accidental exchanges. So total costs about $200 for two accidental damages.
No AppleCare plus. Take your chances. $199 for replacement iPhone out of warranty.
What are the chances of you damaging your phone twice in a two year period? Because the spread $50 difference for one replacement $150 (via AppleCare plus vs $199 out of warranty (no warranty).
It's an easy call. Save your money on AppleCare plus.
Plus add in credit card extended warranty free of charge that protects your iPhone for second year makes the other advantage of AppleCare plus useless (yes I have used my Amex 2nd year warranty and they gave me back the $199 plus taxes I paid apple for a real out of warranty problem (non water damage/non physical damage). So the extra year warranty didn't cost me anything.
I just talked to AppleCare sales on the phone and the rep I spoke to told me it needed to be purchased at the time of sale. However she said to bring the phone into an Apple store and they "might" allow me to purchase it then. Great. I will get the phone on friday and then have to drive 90 miles to a store. It's convenient.

Has anyone who called and added apple care + had theirs ship yet? Mine is still processing.
Mine is the same, processing. I called and they told me it would be auto enrolled. It will just take a little time. I'm not quite happy with that reply. I may call back later and talk to someone in applecare and see if they can add it now.
Has anyone else had it shipped, does it show up on the website when you check your warranty status?

Anyone get further info on this? My order is still processing as well and it does not show that my phone is covered when I look up the serial number.
I'm sure you can buy it at the Apple store. You have at least 14 days to buy it.
