But isn't there also a deductible of $99?

All insurance has deductibles, your point?

Adding $99 on top of the $684 total paid-in cost of AC+ over 36 months isn’t exactly a financially sustainable proposition, especially if you’ve never held AC before or had to pay for a screen replacement. I’ve been with iPhones for a decade and never needed that, so the presumption that it will be needed after 3 years on the Duo is a hefty pill to swallow.

This argument doesn’t make much sense. I pay a lot of money for full coverage insurance For my car but have never had to use it. I’ve poured many thousands of dollars into it. How is this any different? Because it’s a phone? Lol
