I dropped my 5s without a case on a plate and on the bottom near the lightning port is, there is a small dent. I was just wondering since AppleCare+ covers 2 incidental damage, would they fix it for me?
Got a tip for us?

Does AppleCare+ cover dents?

What if it wasn't accidental? The cat PO'ed me and I threw the dang thing at her.
Yes OP, with a little deductible (yer not getting it scott-free).
Apple should be able to replace the cat, out of warranty of course.What if it wasn't accidental? The cat PO'ed me and I threw the dang thing at her.

That sucks. I don't know why i'd have to pay money when apple clearly states they cover 2 incidental damages.
Read the contract. It clearly states they cover 2 accidental damage incidents AT $49 PER INCIDENT.

Yeah,
!People make the mistake of assuming AC+ is insurance. It's not insurance. It's an extended warranty. Apple is being nice by allowing two incidents of ADH that have nothing to do with defects.
You don't read about the things that you buy? It's clearly stated in simple language when you buy AppleCare.
Love how people purchase things and know nothing about them.
Then wonder why they have to pay and how much and what they cover.
Agreed.
And this is that it's not even expensive. Yes, in my tax bracket, $49 is a lot of money. But better $49 than OoW of $200+! Better $49 than $600 plus because you don't have an upgrade and Apple won't give you the OoW price.
In comparison, there really isn't much to complain over.
You're right. If you bought Applecare+ in the middle to later part of 2013 it's $79.
But if you bought Applecare in the early part of 2013, or you bought it last year like I did on launch day for the iPhone 5, it's $49.
That is why I said this, "Depending on when you bought AC+ you'll either pay $49 or $79." in post #2.
My later post referencing $49 in the contract is what I pay. I probably should have been clear and mentioned that the OP could pay more when I referenced the contract in that later post.
