Yes, I did last year when I upgraded. I contacted customer support through chat and asked them to transfer to my new phone. They just asked me to upload a new receipt. Their pricing structure has changed in the last 2 years (a lot more expensive) and I'm not sure if they made any other changes like with transferring your policy.
I’ve never had AppleCare+ either and never needed it. I usually upgrade every 2 years but, considering how much the high end iPhones cost starting with the X a repair requiring a replacement can cost $600. I’m hanging onto my X for another year which will make it the first iPhone I’ll use for 3 years.. I’m banking on it lasting as long as my backup 6S which has been absolutely a solid phone since 2015.
The 6s was a long lasting phone. I recently traded in my old 6s Plus that I was keeping for a backup and it still worked good and wasn't too slow.
I’ve never used Square Trade, have you ever had to file a claim? Just wondering how they are, if you’ve had any issues. My sister used them for years but recently had a bad experience.
I've only bought from Square Trade once and haven't used the warranty yet for the 2 years I've had it. They recently updated their prices and moved to a monthly plan and comparing to the 2 year AC+ plan they're charging over 50% more, so I wouldn't recommend them any longer just due to their price.
I appreciate the heads up thank you. With kids in the house I definitely like having insurance especially when phones are $1000 nowadays.
Another vote for AppleCare. Square trade used to be good but has burned me a lot recently. Prices have increased and they use non-Apple replacement parts. For example they use third party screens that will make you phone lose features such as True Tone and auto brightness, as well as not being as high quality as Apple parts. Not worth it anymore.
