We agreed. I don't have to repeat *everything* that we already agreed on.

By the way, I think I may remove you from the list of Apple trolls because
you appear to own critical thinking skills. Which is unusual for this ng.

Kudos to you for the ability to exercise independent thought processes.
BTW, I opened a new thread on the true cost of this extended warranty.

 *Thought Question: How many times do Apple owners buy each iPhone?*

When I ran the math, it wasn't twice. It was 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 times the
original cost of the iPhone, so it's actually better than I had thought.

Don't think for a moment Apple's strategy doesn't take this into account.
