I always had Renters insurance when I rented, and of course, now that we are buying, home owners insurance. I always buy Apple Care and it has been worth it on 3 different occasions in the second year, which is really what you are paying for. Once, it was even good 3 months beyond the 2 years. In brief, my wife's first iPad Mini wouldn't keep Wi-Fi connections. Since I occasionally use it, I called Apple Accessibility. Got a great guy who spent 90 minutes with us trouble shooting and sent us to the store to have the usual system reinstall. It worked for about 30 minutes. Called the Apple Accessibility guy back the next day (he had given us his extension.) He spent another 2 and a half hours trying his best to fix it when he determined it was a Wi-Fi antenna failure. This was an iPad Mini 2. He said, and I quote, "Aple can afford to give you a replacement." So, he arranged for her to get an iPad Mini 2, refurbished, which is still functional though only used with the Great, Great, Nephews. I bought her the iPad mini 5 when it came out since the old one was so out of date etc....
Don't expect that from all Apple Accessibility people.

As we all know our iPhones are a significant investment and an inconvenience if we're deprived of their use. What are people's view on Apple Care+ is it worth it? There are a number of insurers designed specifically for gadgets like iPhones and there is the possibility of insurance on one's hous contents too. Then there's the option to simply trust to luck and save money. What are people's thoughts?Malcolm Parfitt -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
