Extended Warranty for iPhone 13

Tags: Apple, Mobile

I have recently purchased an iPhone 13. Is it advisable to buy an extended warranty or insurance along with it?

Some people say yes to both, others yes to one and others no to both. It’s totally up to you.

The OP’s question reminds me of the Clint Eastwood line from Dirty Hairy, “Do you feel lucky?”. Some folks never need an extended warranty or insurance on their phone, but some folks are more prone to such problems.

Personally, I have only carried insurance on a few phones since 2001 and do not currently. All a matter of preference and risk aversion.

Let me pick out the last 10 phone failures we saw.

All were dropped phones that the warranty wouldn’t cover. In fact the last decade I can only think of a few phones that Apple warranty covered and that was due to a battery issue.

It is, no doubt. In my own personal experience, it’s best to invest in AppleCare based plans as they offer the best experience. Every person thinks that they are careful and nothing will happen to their devices, till something does happen. And then you rue the fact that you could’ve purchased a great plan which would’ve saved you the hassle and heartburn.
