It depends on whether you like to use the phone “everywhere” or not, or whether you’re ultra careful with it.
I like to film trips and use the phone caseless and I think it’s worth it for the peace of mind (+theft/loss insurance) alone. Many who prefer to save money and get peace of mind from using their device carefully will say it’s not.

I always get both apple care and a screen protector. I guess it just makes me feel less scared of walking around with this expensive of a phone. This year however I only did apple care. I was too impatient to wait any longer to start playing with the pro max. Plus I had horrible luck with screen protectors on my xs max last year. Didn’t matter if they came from apple bestbuy or amazon they would break within a few days of putting them on. Just became a inconvenience to get them replaced. If I break my screen this time apple care will cover it and I may reconsider

I have never done Apple Care on any phone or watch I own. I have never destroyed a phone or watch. I did have a cracked screen on a 5 that I replaced and a smashed screen on a 5S, but the cost of those together did not add up to the cost of Applecare over 10+ years. It just isn't worth it for me. Now that the phones are more durable, it is even less worth it. I slap them in a case, and put a glass screen protector on, and I am good to go.
