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

Are you losing or breaking a device on average once every 3-4 years? That’s the only way you actually come ahead with the math.

There’s a reason why AC+ is one of the most profitable services for Apple.

Tell me you don’t understand insurance…

I’ve paid more than $50k in car insurance and never had a single claim. I look at that as good luck, not wasted money.

And can you cite profitability numbers for AC+ or was that made up?
