Anyone find AppleCare worth it?

On a two year reset cycle for firm subsidized phone if that helps as background. Plus generally buy a rugged case and a tempered glass screen protector.

It’s like any other insurance, great when you need it and sucks when you didn’t need it. They wouldn’t offer it if it didn’t provide additional revenue. It’s a law of large numbers game.

Good for peace of mind given how expensive phone replacement is. AppleCare can now include theft coverage so it’s a full blown insurance policy now

Applecare is worth it, mainly if you have had slip ups in the past

PwC gets a discount on Apple Care. So it's less painful. But if you have a rugged case you don't really it!

A single mishap in the next 2 years will make AppleCare pay for itself. You can consider any other mishaps during that time as freebies

It’s only worth it if you claim more than the value of AppleCare - most people are better off setting aside the full value of the phone and paying out of pocket. The problem is that most people live paycheck to paycheck and have little to no savings to cover things. You generally lose on warranties in the long run otherwise the companies don’t make money

A1 that’s generally true for all insurance, if it wasn’t the insurance industry would cease to exist.

I can afford to replace my car if I crash it, but I still choose to insure it.

In the case of an iPhone, the cost is relatively low, but there is a fairly high probability of having some kind of mishap so again I pay a small amount monthly to mitigate that risk.

@P1 is that on emobility?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
