VZW Total Protection or AppleCare for iPhone X

[MUWarrior10]

Trying to decide between AppleCare or Verizon Wireless total protection on my iPhone X. Does anyone have any experience with Verizon Total Protection (I’m a new costumer)? Or, has anyone purchased AppleCare?

i have both on mine just cuz applecare does not have loss and theft, better safe than sorry!

The difference with AppleCare is you can go right to the store and get authorized repairs/troubleshooting if you have a problem. If you live in a city with an Apple Store, it's a nice advantage.

That being said, Apple will cover most things anyway for the first year except accidental damage.

Call me crazy, but I go with both.

AppleCare for just about anything (broken screen, broken phone [even in pieces], broken charger, etc).
VZ Total Protection (their lower plan) for if the phone gets lost or stolen (or dropped through the grates at the N Michigan Ave bridge... or run over by the EL).

I am not crazy about Verizon's Total Protection. First of all their refurbished process is not Apple's refurbished process. I have used Verizon's protection in the past and have had to swap numerous phones because they do not scrutinize the device as Apple does. It is much easier to get a dud device as replacement with Verizon than one from Apple. I think you have the same people refurbishing iPhones as you do with Android phones.

Between the two, AppleCare+ would be my choice

AC+. Unless you absolutely feel the need for loss/theft protection.

Only have Total Protection

I like AppleCare+ you get to deal only with Apple. Whatever Verizon uses is just a hassle to deal with.
