Other Time to get AppleCare+

[Retroglide08]

Well, there’s no doubt the iPhone XS Max is the most expensive phone I’ve ever bought. I take meticulous care of my tech and am now thinking it may be time to purchase AppleCare+.
Anyone else doing the same?

Bought it for my XS Max. First time putting AppleCare+ on an iPhone. I've had it on other products though.

I always get the AppleCare just in case I slip up and I slip up to get it during preorder so I will get it when it delivers.

Absolutely, it’s going to be a heavy fragile beast.

I was so proud because my 8+ has lived a full year without a case, and then I cracked it today glass on it does seem stronger than any past iPhones I’ve had and it had fallen multipile times, so hopefully the even stronger glass on the new phones will help.

I have square trade with it, but I plan on purchasing AppleCare+ for the XS Max, with all the recent articles on third party panels, especially the comparisons of the oled’s, and the eye watering price, I think it would be best if something happens to be repaired by the manufacturer. I can’t deal with a phone this size that also has a case on it, I freakin hate it. I figure the insurance cost replaces the $10 glass protectors you have to buy every month, and the endless cases you go through because they break or you get bored or don’t like it.

I am not a fan of warranties as almost every time I purchased one, I ended up not using it. I guess it just doesn't provide me enough peace of mind in the end. If I used my phone without a case or screen protector then yes, I would get AppleCare. But I have been using the Apple Leather case / cheap glass screen protector combo since the 5 and even with numerous drops I have yet to damage a phone.
