I've also used the phone insurance offered through AT&T. I think they cover 2 incidents per year. IMO, if you take reasonably good care of your phone and use some common sense, that should be enough. I forget the year, but when my wife had an iPhone 5 many years ago, she damaged the phone somehow and the insurance sent her a brand new 5S. She's been careful not to lose the phone. She has dropped the phone before, so now both of us have Tek Armour screen protectors, which are high-grade and bullet proof. We also put cases on our phones. Both of these have protected the phones from most drops. If we leave our phones somewhere then that would be an issue, but over the years she has gotten better about this. I usually have several places my phone could be around the home and don't lose my phone that often. To each their own. One other thing; when my wife had the iPhone 7, she did shatter her screen. I can be ridiculous about keeping packaging, but when you get a new phone each year, they often come with some papers or sticker you have to include when you send the old phone back. When we came home with our new 7's, my wife through away the special items from the new phone's packaging. So, when she had to return the shattered screen phone to AT&T, she didn't have the particular return label or item to send with it. I remarked to her that Apple would take the damaged phone in whatever condition, and she ended up getting a trade-in on it.
