iPhone 5S Insurance

Yes you can. This can be done at any apple store. Sometimes you can get it done by calling apple. However it can be hit or miss with the rep.

Sweet thanks! Closest Apple store is 3 hrs away

I use protect my bubble, this is the first time I used them. Never filed a claim so I'm not sure how good they are, let's just hope if something do happen, they do come through

I cancelled applecare and went with squaretrade. Yes you can get it fixed/replaced at apple stores. The drawback is you pay apple the repair fee and squaretrade reimburses you back within 1-2 days. Squaretrade deducible is $50 vs applecare is $80. Also 4 replacements with squaretrade, you only get 2 with applecare. So squaretrade is a better value.

Filing a claim on your homeowners for a phone? Not something I will do unless my house was robbed. You're asking for higher rates if you go that route.

Research a Personal Articles Policy. I was told they don't apply to phones, but I have one for my laptop. Separate policy, won't affect regular insurance.

Difference is that Squaretrade doesn't extend the standard warranty.

With AppleCare+, for covered issues during the two years you can get service at an Apple store without ANY deductible.

I saved $20 a month until I had $260 saved up... Now if I ever have an issue barring losing my iPhone I can pay for an out of warranty replacement. I've only had one issue when I cracked my front screen when I had the iPhone 4. I had no qualms with paying for the replacement. I saved the $260 again and it's waiting. Only $260 spent for one replacement versus paying for warranties since the first iPhone. Worked well for me! Anybody else doing the same?

That's smart to actually put it aside.
