Correct. From what a lot of users here have told me, Apple will replace your iPhone for $199, regardless of what's wrong with it. You can be in or out of warranty and still get a new one for $199. This includes physical damage, cracks, smashed, etc... The only thing they won't cover, from what I understand, is if the iPhone is in a million little pieces. But if it's smashed, they will still do it, as long as it's not in multiple pieces.

sounds good to me.. better than paying over $7xx for a new one. I will keep the insurance for piece of mind Verizon has been good to me with warranties when I had continuing issues with my blackberry storm when it first came out

Hey guys, if one of you paid retail price for the 16GB through Apple, do you mind disclosing your final total?
