Why do people care what color the phone is? When 99% of people put a case over it anyways.

I'd say less than 99%, especially with AppleCare. I never use a case.

So 98.8% ? Every single person I know uses a case of some sort. And when out in public (granted it’s not something I’m super paying attention to) I generally see everyone with a case as well.

Isn’t it hard to use without a case? It’s slippery and not very grip friendly. I have AppleCare+ but still use a case for this reason plus that the phone won’t stay on car dashboards without something more grippy on it.

Do you prefer AppleCare+ to insurance from your cell service carrier? I have AT&T and pay $15 a month for their Advantage Protection plan, and then it’s $150 to replace the phone if I have a breakage. It seems like AppleCare+ would be cheaper overall and a better deal, but I’m not sure.

I just hate dealing with any carrier insurance programs. Apple is far less of a headache if something does happen!

Thanks! I’d never had an iPhone until my current phone that I got in December 2021 so I wasn’t sure how AppleCare worked. I saw some price breakdowns online but I wanted to ask a real customer because I know that if I asked Apple, or AT&T, both would be more likely to tell me the positives of their plans and gloss over the negatives.

Apple even has an apple support app you can install and chat with their team at any time, and they can kick off a replacement from there. It's super nice.

Nah, it also slides in and out of my pocket easier. I've rarely ever dropped my phone in years of no case usage. In the car I have a magsafe mount I plop it onto.
