Is Verizon Insurance Worth It?

[awake]

I plan on getting an iPhone 5 from Verizon. Should I get the insurance that Verizon sells for I think $9.95 a month or should I get AppleCare?

What's the difference between the two?

AppleCare !

Verizon covers lost or stolen Applecare does not. So if you tend to lose phones you should go with Verizons insurance. Just remember the deductibles are high for a lost device.

Exactly. I personally went with Verizon because I need to rest assured that in case my phone is stolen, or lost, I won't have to shell out $800 for another iPhone. Now with that being said Verizons decutible for the iPhones are really high but I rather pay $200-$300 for another than the $800. Yea it might be refurbished but I'm sure that's how it'll be everywhere else.

You have to pay a high monthly fee + high deductible. It is not worth it.
