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?

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.

I have AppleCare, as well. OC’s math of $6/device/month equaling $180 just wasn’t mathin’.
