This is basically like insurance, if nothing happens to your phone (which most people will not have), they eat your money. It's a good stream of revenue by putting fear in people with high repair cost. Can't they just charge the price of the hardware at cost then just add in labour?

But I would not be at all surprised if even a minor dent in the frame would be considered "additional damage" by aPple. And if so the deal is much less bad, as an out of warranty repair would then be roughly half the price of a new device, where a covered repair would 'only' cost $129+99

Obviously AppleCare is a feasible revenue center for them as they continue the program. I don't question the value because 1) ultimately sales and sustainability will validate the whole program itself and 2) it is Apple, afterall. Like all Apple products, Apple likes to really test the market to see just how much people will pay for its products, including AppleCare.
You're still getting the worst deal, though. :-P Come on, this site should at least invite you to their offices to intern, for free of course, but at least you could put it on your resume.

How many years the care+ covers you, one, two? Because if its only for one, chances are that you will no brake your screen twice and if you dont, you wont benefot from the program, but pay more than you should...

my only info on apple care was from big bang theory...Howard say..Apple care pays for itself in the long run.. i thought that it was a mythical thing, with free repairs and replacements and stuff. i also thought of it as insurance...so i have to get another 3rd party insurance? but those refund me the current cost of the phone after depreciation and gives anti theft..can someone give a detailed comparison??

Don't worry, Eske, nobody's going to get as bad as deal as you've gotten being the highest unpaid contributor to this site. They offer you a paid job yet? Didn't think so.

Considering the second column, it sound like a really bad offer.
Since one change would cost you $129 if you do NOT buy it. $158 if you do sounds like a really bad deal... Unless you expect to drop it with a broken screen twice - and that must be within two years.
It seems like a really high premium to at the very best save $71, and if you do drop it once or not at all you lost money.... So much for "protecting your investment" .... Sounds like standard aPple rip-off me...
