    I fully understand what you’re saying, I just don’t agree with you on the value. You are ignoring good value cases and screen protectors, inflating the costs there, then not factoring in the initial $200 (or whatever it is in your local) of buying AC+ and only looking at the deductible.

    I’m glad it works for you, but I don’t think your numbers are sound or agree with you conclusion.

      That’s fair.

      Just to add the extra info, I pay £9.99 per month for apple care.

      Say I buy a case for £5 and a screen protector for £5 and I break my screen. I’m now out of£10 and the price of a new display, last time I looked it was £189, likely more these day.

      So that one break costs more than the whole year of AC plus the excess.

      Are you saying that if you have a case then you’re never going to break your phone?

      Sure I could have a year without breaking it, but as I said after two I will break it on purpose to get my monies work and have a brand new (refurbished to new standards) handset.
