Yes after the 2 years is almost up you can call apple and switch it to a monthly plan and keep it for up to 5 years in total, this saves you a little money over starting with the monthly option but you have to remember to call before it expires. 1b. I think it is worth it if you are hard on phones or have a desire to go caseless. If you think there’s a shot you’ll break your screen more than once you will already be saving money. Additionally if you are likely to lose it or live in a place that you’re concerned about theft it is worth it to pay a little extra to get +theft and loss(assuming you live in the US as I believe that version is only available here in the states). You can potentially buy apple care as late as one day before the warranty expires but if you wait more than 60 days to get it you will have to bring it in to an Apple Store and have them inspect it before you can buy it. I also would not recommend this because coverage starts from the day you buy the phone not the day you buy apple care so the longer you wait to buy it the more you’re paying per day of usable coverage. Also the limited warranty doesn’t cover damage only manufacturer defect so the warranty is not that useful.
I’ll choose not to speak on this as I have not personally used an android for nearly a decade but I will say that 90% of people that have made the switch are glad they did. You can use any common Bluetooth headphones with any iPhone, you will need a dongle for any non apple wired headphones.
This is not as much of a concern for most folks as media has made it seem but since the huge media coverage battery replacements are relatively cheap (I think less than $100) but I do not know if this is reduced with apple care
