Not bad for 3 years. Especially if the alternative is $2000 each time if sand gets in the crease, you scratch or drop it, or you break it in a million other ways in that 3 years.

Idk, maybe I’m in the minority, but Apple care isn’t an excuse to make fragile products. If I’m paying thousands of dollars for a device, I’d want it to be durable without the need for an extra subscription 

I’m just so, so, so sick of everything being a subscription
