That assumes no > claims. If the phone breaks and is not repairable you get a new phone. I welcome that Tom Elam has been transparent on AppleCare+ costs above. I would easily agree with his math that, if you have no claims after 8 years, you've only doubled the price of the iPhone, which means you bought it twice for no actual benefit other than peace of mind over those 8 years. However, if you lose it or destroy it, you gain, as you would with most insurance where you make as many claims as you need to make to be whole. Bear in mind the main reason I ask these adult thought-provoking questions is to help other people to learn what Apple's true strategies are. IMHO... Apple's fundamental goal is to make you pay twice for every iPhone you buy.
