Title says it all. How much more likely are they to replace my phone for a remanufactured one if I purchased AppleCare +?
New policy is $199 flat rate to replace any broken iphone (cracked, etc) with an identical refurb model. Verified in the SoHo NYC store yesterday, when I replaced my shattered 4S that is out of warranty and never had applecare of any kind.
199 for the 4S....229 for the 5. my friend had to get his iPhone 5 replaced and it was 229
Did you have to renew your contract after paying the $229 replacement fee?
Rates are posted on Apple's site. Click on "Warranty & Service Pricing" and then "My phone is not eligible..."Thank you, good to know.

How did the refurb'd 4S they gave you look? Brand new or...?
Yeah. I wouldn't have been able to tell it apart from one that was 100% brand new.
