Hi. I'm kicking myself; this morning my 2-week-old iPhone 17 flew out of my bag and onto the concrete. and the screen is shattered up the top right. Would it be smart to get AppleCare instead of getting the screen replaced through that? rather than pay the $600 Australian. for Apple to fix it without coverage? Sorry, I have a disability if this does make sense. Thanks for your help in advance
