Reply to comment by SSMD1942 in Folks, I am first time iPhone user. I am just loving the experience so far(14 pro max). I bought the leather cover as well. So wanted you opinions if AppleCare is worth it, it’s quite expensive to be honest by Onion_rings_

Can we buy it anytime or we have to buy within some days after purchasing the iPhone???

Within 60 days of buying the iPhone.

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 :)
