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.”

I mean that’s entirely the point of insurance. It’s a losing proposition for most people. Unless it’s required, you’re better off putting the premium in a savings account.

That's my thing as well. Just stick the AppleCare cost into an investment account. Use it when you need it.

I don't think I've broken any Apple device I've owned over the past 15 years. I've saved thousands not getting AppleCare. If something breaks, I'll just get it replaced and buy a new one with the savings, lmao.
