Will you get AppleCare+ for new iPad?

I always buy Apple Care. Most times I don't need it but when I did boy was t worth it!

 

You should put in a poll, but my answer is no.

 

My iPad slipped out of a box I was carrying and dropped to a cement floor. The corner got dented and the front glass shattered, but mostly remained intact. I took it to an Apple Store and they told me they would give me another one for $249, which is half of what I paid for it new. I decided to get the new iPad along with AppleCare instead. If I drop it again, it will cost me $49 to replace it and I can do it twice.

Nope. Amex doubles Apple warranty plus won't be keeping more than a year anyway (assuming Apple keeps to this March launch routine) so would be a waste of $.

 

I didn't purchase it when I pre-ordered, however me thinks I might want to.

Can I still order AppleCare+ after the product ships?

 

Yes, generally get it for most of my Apple devices. I know the statistics say its not worth it but I think I've used it on at least 75% of my devices, even twice on my current iPhone 4.

 

Questionable answers for a yes or no poll question....

 

Amex only warranties it against accidental damage/loss/theft for 90 days from the date of purchase. The 1 year is more of a technical issue/defect warranty, I too use Amex for this very reason. One of the nice perks is the extended warranty, not to mention the best rewards system in the industry imo.

 

I see. I think I would have just done Yes or No. What's the benefit from breaking it out into the various models? I'd expect the breakdown to be consistent across all models.

 

I voted incorrectly. Oh well.

 

terrible poll

 

Why isn't there a NO OPTION!!!!!

 

As noted above the accidental coverage from Amex ends after the first 90 days. In addition there's added value in selling a year-old iPad with a year of warranty remaining. I'd hardly call it a waste of money.

 

what kind of poll is this, what DIFFERENCE does the MODEL of your iPad 3 make in the poll

You are asking about Apple Care, it should be YES or NO

you fail

 

The difference in the models is obviously the cost. I may not pay $99 for AppleCare+ on a base model, but would for a top model. There needs to be a "no" option though.

 

Mods can change it for you on request.

 

No, I won't be getting AppleCare. I already have an alternate insurance coverage plan in the event my iPad is lost, damaged, or stolen.
