I had to buy my daughter a new 15 and wondered about applecare+ @$£8 a month i dont think its worth it for a basic iphone, any suggestions to back me up, i could understand it for a pro max but cant justify this model

Depends. If your daughter might break it my mistake would rather pay for a brand new phone or just pay £8pm in insurance? It also covers theft which might be an issue at school.

Ah, lol .

I tend to get AppleCare+ for the first two years and then cancel it as by that point I'd be happy just to get the new model.

Check the screen replacement cost, quote often a screen replacement makes it uneconomical to repair, which is where AC+ comes into its own.

My nephew went through 2 iPhone 13 Pro, thankfully with AC+

I personally stick with it as well. Things just get fixed, properly.

I think AC is excellent for iPhones and Watches, things that tend to travel with me - I don't bother so much with the iPad as it doesn't really leave the house.

Thanks all will show her the cost of a replacement screen and talk her into ac+

I dont bother with it unless its a laptop, then its essential.

This is a bit of a god send, my daughters 12 pro max dropped to 76% battery, and they replaced it no questions asked. Also she screwed up the screen and they replaced that too. Makes a 4 year old phone have more life. She's given the 12 Pro Max to her nan now and she has my wife's 13 pro max

Did you get it replaced at the same appointment by chance?

It was two separate instances, but on the same phone.
