Well the full list details iPods, iPhones, iPads, watches but no accessories including no mention of current AirPods first gen or second gen or AirPower so could it be that they just aren't on the list as they are accessories

For all the lost Apple Pencils...

I have to think the $400 must be the replacement cost (due to loss/theft) rather than the cost of AppleCare itself. I suspect a repair/replacement where you bring in the phone would be less.
I guess we will see in an hour and change what it is for sure.

If it doesn’t release today, then I do believe it was announced way too early with no marketing whatsoever. I know Phil Schiller stated to look for in 2018, but at least some Provide some marketing for this product to the consumer, otherwise they should have waited much later to announce it, unless there is some potential reason for a delay.

Top of the line 2018 iPhone w AppleCare more than 250% the price of the original 2007 iPhone w AppleCare BEFORE they gave everyone a hundred dollar gift card for overpricing the original.
I understand what goes into the devices but when the original iPhone came out it was not classified as affordable. I have never really gone after apple for their premium pricing but basically having the top of the line model increase by 25% a year for over a decade is an issue.
I am at the point of investing more money in iPads and just keeping my iPhones for four or five years instead of the traditional one or two years. The carrier and Apple financing has obviously has allowed Apple to accelerate pricing. I doubt many or going fully out of pocket up front for more than $1500 for a top of the line phone.

You‘d figure a trillion dollar company who pulled the iPhone out of their sleeves would find a way or two to produce a charging device.
Well, we still have them animojis, more watch bands and, or course, we can now sleep peacefully even if a home invader wants to steal our phones for only $399 per device.

I'm not convinced we wont see one today. If you go to apples site, iPhone and iPad have "be right back" messages while the Mac section and other are still normal. Doesn't prove they will, but just sayingDang, bummed about the lack of iPad update.

I think that’s the ECG/Heart Rate sensor ring on the back of the Apple Watch 4...

If you're referring to the gold ring we've been seeing on the invites, that's the Apple Park logo. Nothing more, nothing less.

I mean don't get me wrong, there could very well be an ECG in the Apple watch as has been rumored, but that logo wasn't any kind of secret hint.We will soon find out if you’re right!!
I do not want a Kardashian showing up at my house to hand me my phone back! What would the neighbors think?

The AppleCare + deductible for lost or stolen Apple Pencils is just $100.

I hope they aren’t adding that to iUP. That’ll legit be like $16 added on top of the phone payment. I’d start financing through my carrier at that point.
AppleCare is a rip-off, and it just gets worse now. My Amex and MasterCard do everything Apple Care does, including loss and theft, and it has no annual fee. Just get a new CC if yours doesn’t do the same.
