If a friend advised you to drop Apple Care, and you did, and the next day you dropped your phone and smashed the screen, you may be pissed at your friend for suggesting that you drop Apple Care. If your friend suggest that you keep Apple Care, so you do, and never need it, you may be annoyed at your friend for encouraging you to pay all that money for something you never needed. It's a decision you must make yourself. That being said, I have never taken out insurance on my phones, as we are very careful with them, use good protective cases, and have been lucky to have avoided any damage. At this point, we have saved over the years many times the cost of a new phone by not buying insurance. Should we damage or lose a phone at this point, I won't regret forking out the money to buy a new one. YMMV.

You have 60 to get apple care after you purchased your new phone. I never paid for apple care and used all of my phones without case and never damaged them. I got my 14 Pro few weeks back and on my trip to india it fell out of my pocket and cracked the back glass, so accidents do happen. Luckily I was still within the 60 days period and got the AppleCare+. It will cost CAD $250 for 2 years and $40 to replace the back glass, cheaper than a one time replacement out of AppleCare.

At the end of the day it’s up to you, how careful you are with your phone. Anyone who’s using case all the time and are at least a little bit careful with their Phone, don’t need AppleCare.

It’s not available in Canada yet. I’ve never lost a phone before so not sure how common it is.

Not common on average, otherwise insurance wouldn’t be profitable and therefore wouldn’t exist. I mean it’s game theory, there’s not much to argue about ultimately :)

If you’re responsible you’ll always use a case and s teen protector. In most cases(pun) a lens protector. Or just not drop your phones.

Okies so I just found out the lens protector, wth is this? Is it like quite popular? Doesn’t it Interfare with photos quality?

Yes and no. If you don’t leave finger prints on the protector it’ll be just fine. Lots of people in this sub has shared their lens cracking so I think it’s a great investment. Screen protectors on the other hand I always go for the eBay 5 for like $10. I hardly drop my phone so I don’t see the point in spending $10+ on a single protector that’s just me though

I have the Spigen full screen protector on my 13PM. It looks/feels like there isn’t even a screen protector esp with a case on it. It hasn’t affected the quality of my photos yet.
