I’ve never seen the appeal of AC. A hefty premium with another premium when you claim and all to get a replacement slightly quicker.
Yup. Never needed it. The only product I actually recommended for members who are unsure of A.C., would be the Apple Watch, simply because of the vulnerabilities of moving your wrist and hitting daily objects. But otherwise, Apple products are so well-made in terms of hardware structure, they rarely ever have problems. Plus, I find Apple makes quite a few exceptions outside AppleCare for the customer, where it depends who you talk to and how you address the situation. And to be honest, I can’t think of the last time I actually had a ‘hardware issue‘ with any products over the last five years.
