AppleCare sounds like a good deal

While Apple didn’t raise the out-of-warranty repair prices this year, they’re still hefty. That makes AppleCare+ sound like a very good deal, especially if you’re prone to damaging your precious new device. AppleCare+ itself costs $11.99 per month ($119.99 per year) for the iPhone 17 or $13.99 per month ($139.99 per year) for both 17 Pro models and the Air. However, with it, you get your battery replaced for free, as long as its health has dropped below 80%. The rest of the repairs cost from $29 to $99, which is incomparable to the out-of-warranty prices.
Taking care of your phone is important
People usually think about the cost of a smartphone only in terms of its selling price. Apple’s repair pricing is a good reminder that maintenance is also part of the costs. As we keep our devices longer, accounting for the cost of potential damage repairs or a new battery becomes crucial. With that in mind, I’d think twice before using my new phone without heavy protection and an extra warranty.
