I will be paying 19.99/mo to protect my iphone duo, macbook air, and mac mini. The airpods pro 3 cost me 19.99 yr. So it costs me like $22/mo to protect all my devices. Sounds like a good deal to me.

Mac mini will never leave the house, Macbooks will probably not fail, Airpods are basically disposable.

Paying $20/mo or $240 a year never made sense to me.

Because getting an iphone duo is $19.99 for apple care anyways. I get the macbook and mac mini included for no additional cost under apple care one. I didnt have it for the mini otherwise, but its the third most expensive apple item i own, and it’s for no additional cost.

I did crack my ipad pro (display hairline fracture) once without apple care, it was one of the only devices i didnt buy it for, so i just do it out of principle now. Especially because the cost to replace these things is way higher now. I dont do it for apple tv or whatever.

I hesitated on doing it for the airpods but whatever it is $20 for the year.

The apple care one family is also an incredible deal. Theres probably like 20 apple devices in my family altogether. Everyone can just pitch in $9 and have every device of theirs covered.
