I also heard about the extended warranty was not available in Florida due to laws we have here....Does anyone know how this all works in Florida?
Only that I know it was true when I bought a computer from Dell whilst living in Florida. Not sure what the actual law is, but Dell doesn't offer their "Complete Care" for machines bought in Florida either (and California, iirc). Seems a stupid law, to prohibit people from getting insurance on something like that.
Actually what you said is exactly the reason. In FL, extended warranties are treated as if they are insurance. The state requires insurance issuers to be licensed, etc. So no extended warranties in FL. Other states don't consider them insurance and so everybody and his brother sells them.
I'm not so sure what FL is doing is so bad, in general these things are a scam although AppleCare is a good deal compared to the cost of a repair and the actual chance of something going wrong compared to most of these warranties.
