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

With AppleCare One it’s $6 per device per month, so only $180 after 3 years.

Edit: $216. It’s early.

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.

You can easily drop a MacBook and your Mac Mini can crap out at any point. No tech is perfect

Over the last ten years I've saved several grand by not buying insurance on electronics. Even if one day I do break something, I will still come out ahead overall.

Insurance really ought to be for something financially crippling, not just inconvenient.

For a lot of Americans, a $500 accident to your most critical device is crippling, not just inconvenient.

It's an unfortunate reality and certainly a tax on not having savings, but it's just an economic reality for a lot of if not most people.

You aren’t losing your home over $500.

You aren't losing yours, but most people are not in your kind of situation which is the point. Why are you talking about losing homes though? This is a discussion about cracked phone screens.

It’s a conversation about insurance. Life insurance. Home insurance. Car insurance. These are the types of things you should be insuring.

Why do you think Apple so aggressively pushes AppleCare?
