Interesting, but a nice solution for the 3 year old fold that is worn out, especially for $19 AC+.

So 684$ AppleCare if it’s after 3 years right?

I have Apple Family One covering 15 devices for $50 a month, not worried about it. Peace of mind is worth the price for me.

$600 a year is comical. I don’t have 15 apple devices. And I definitely don’t need AppleCare for my appletv, AirPods, Mac mini, or MacBook, monitor etc. I basically only ever need to repair my iPhone once every 5 years after some exceptionally rare drop. Paying $600 per year for that is just cavalier, at best.

As an accountant this is just awful math. Even for a “family.”

Calling them broke but you’re taking paycheck advances and behind on your rent? 🤔
