Never mind that your math is totally fubar - Another AppleCare+ example. My iPhone 14 was starting to charge erratically. Wiggling the charging cable left-to-right while it was plugged in would make it stop charging if you moved it right. My first cell phone, circa 1998, stopped charging just after it went out of 1 year warranty. Had to buy another one. Bad experience. BUT, this time I just took the iPhone over to the local Apple Store, confident that if it was the charging port it could be fixed or even replaced under AppleCare+ terms. It took about 5 minutes to repair. Accumulated lint in the port that the store rep cleaned out. If the Apple rep had screwed up the port in the process so be it. The peace of mind knowing I would not be buying another phone is worth the monthly premium to me.
