applecare coverage question (X)

Yes you are correct, only 2 incidents of accidental damage. So if you broke your front screen and back glass, you would pay the 29+99+tax. Your next accident and any after that, full price.

And sorry to see that happen. I have AC+ but still don't have the balls to run the phone naked, at least not yet. Once my clear case starts to fade I'll probably try it out.

 

The drop was from 2.5 ft? Man I need to get Applecare...

 

Ouch!

Yes, under the contract you get two accidental coverage repairs, with the deductible. That can be two screen replacements (at $29 x 2), two "other" replacements (at $99 x 2), or a screen and an other ($29 and $99). Technically no more. However, it seems to me it is on a case by case thing, because I know people who have had the additional deductible waived, or who had an extra replacement over the two first ones for the same AppleCare+ deductible.

 

2.5 feet and landing on concrete right on the corner would damage most iPhones. It is all in the landing and physics.

 

Ouch, I don't have the courage to carry my phone without a case. I would get that taken care of ASAP. And then put a case on it....

 

Using the X without a case/protection is just foolish.

 

It can happen to anyone at any given time. I have never had Apple Care+ and luckily never needed it. Even if I drop my phone today, I still feel like I am way ahead from what I have saved from insurance.

I am sorry about your loss.

The X with very narrow bezels will suffer more damage. It is sad that the back costs more than the screen.

 

This is the first iPhone I purchased apple care for. I was more motivated by the extra 2 year warranty than the accidental coverage. 2 of my last 3 iPhones (6plus and 6splus) failed for defects after the first year. My 7plus remains under warranty, so It's too early to say if all 3 will fail.

I want to be able to give the X to another family member next year without them having to pay an expensive out of warranty replacement cost.

 

What kind of case did you have, just curious?

 

Wondering what screen protector are you using

 

I am in the same boat as you are. This is also my first time to have Apple Care + for an iPhone due to the iPhone X high replacement cost and the highest break susceptible material.

 

Depends how bad it is cracked. Is it still useable? If so what I would do is use it until more damage happens to make it worthwhile for a claim.

 

You should take it to an Apple Store. Be very cool about it and see what can be done, if they'd consider covering it. I've seen that often times, early after launch, they are much more lenient.

Second, did the case have a guarantee or warranty?

Third, credit card. If you bought it outright with a credit card, they often have coverage for the first 60 days or something. You may be able to get it covered, repaired or replaced.
