Hi David, One aspect of Apple Care that was mentioned is the ability to call Apple technical support beyond your first year without having to pay extra. However, strictly from a warranty point of view there are other options. Square Trade, for example, does also offer an extended iPhone insurance plan which is I believe a bit less expensive than Apple Care and it covers more. One thing to keep in mind is that Apple Care does not cover your phone if you jailbreak whereas Square Trade does. I also don't think that Apple Care covers your phone if it is stolen or if you actually break it by dropping it into water or on the ground where you end up with a shattered screen.
I actually have Apple Care, but I also added my iPhone to my home owners insurance. It is listed as a separate item with serial number and all and my normally much higher deductible does not apply, it has a $100 deductable. The actual cost for having it insured that way is about $30 a year and the insurance would cover anything that could happen to it from it being stolen to me breaking it because of some accident or carelessness. I paid $850 for an unlocked 4S without contract, so to me it's worth the extra $30 a year and whenever I get a new iPhone all I have to do is let them know and provide the new serial number. I think it's definitely worth asking your insurance company about this if you have home insurance.
