That gives me even more of a reason to never get it. I thought the whole point of paying all that was to get a free warranty and thats why it was being compared to a car warranty.
In that case it’s not comparable to the manufactures warranty I have on my car then as I can just take that and have it fixed for free 🤔
If you don’t want it don’t get it. No one is being forced. Like all insurance if you need it it’s great. If you don’t it’s a waste of money.
Yeah, this. I've got it for the last few years but decided against this year as I always have my phone in a case and screen protector anyway and haven't used it since the XS Max (when I wasn't running a case).
The manufacturer‘s warranty won’t help you once you’ve reversed into a tree.
Thats what insurance is for.
You might be confusing product types here. AppleCare+ is an extended warranty but it’s also an insurance product. And just like car insurance, it has an excess.
Have you ever read the blurb on it?
It covers accidental damage, one policy covers theft and loss too.
Car manufacturers won’t cover your car being stolen or as Azzin said crashed into a tree
That said I think it gives another years warranty too
£559 for a rear screen replacement without AC+.
Also, do remember that AC+ now comes with unlimited claims…
It’s more just at least read what the product offers before formulating opinions on it?
I normally get apple care theft and loss but before I do I might look at separate insurance with a bank. Does anyone know if Revolut offer it?
£719 for a replacement if it’s considered beyond repair.
That £10 or so a month is worth every penny IMHO.
And me. Hopefully the £ arrives t
They’re not a U.K. bank (yet), but they do offer it (although I’m not sure if it’s only for when you are travelling).
That’s interesting. I didn’t know that. I guess it makes sense why they promote contactless. I can’t see them getting rid of Oyster altogether though.
My opinion is probably now even less favourable now I know what it is.
Oh well, everyone to themselves and all.
They were probably being bombarded with phones on Fri/ Sat/ Sun hence the long wait times so all should be good. Although they did tell me processed next working day so I am kind of expecting the payment Wednesday.
They used to offer device insurance but it doesn’t seem like they do it anymore. Might be as @Azzin says.
My wife and I have a joint nationwide account, for £13 (for both of us, not each) we get travel and phone insurance, and breakdown cover with AA. It’s a really good deal
I’ll bet the phone insurance is nowhere near as efficient or convenient as AC+ tho?
If I had kids I would never let them have such expensive phones. I’d give them one of those old style dumb phones. Here you go as you only need it to make phone calls.
I am going to be buying a pro for a gift for a relative now. I may have a look in the morning but it’s no rush, might end up just joining the online queue for simplicity.
