iPhone X $299 Apple care?!?

[raheelkhan]

I am preapproved via the iphone upgrade program but selected the wrong AppleCare+. It won't let me go back and change it now. Does anyone know if I can make the change before I complete my order tomorrow?

My iPhone is insured through my home contents insurance and that covers accidental damage and loss. It’s not long winded getting a replacement either and I think it made up around £10 of the policy. AppleCare is massively overpriced and oversold IMO.

Your numbers are a bit off.

With Applecare repairs are $29 for the screen and $99 for everything else (back glass etc). The Applecare plan is $199 (not counting the lost/stolen coverage, just repair)

Without for the Max is $329 for the screen and $599 other damage.

So you're saving $101 on a screen repair and $301 on back glass damage.

Thanks...didn't realize screen was just $29 on Apple Care.

But the point still stands: $600 (or even $300) for a back glass repair is utterly absurd.

You can change it during the preorder, but not sure how easy or fast it will be. I made the same mistake.

Thats why you couple a credit card with a free insurance service with AC+... use apple care for your replacement then get your deductible reimbursed from ur CC as a second form of insurance.... Most major cards that offer isurance for free will cover up to 600 as a secondary insurance with $25 deductible.

OR if youre really feeling risky, dont get AC+ and just use the card, but then you will have to pay the excess of the $600
