Is apple care worth it for the iphone4s?

I was wondering who has bought Apple Care for their iphone?  Do you think it is worth it??

Well Applecare + gives you up to two replacements for breakage incidents, so I think it's worth it. For $99.00 it's worth the piece of mind. I know that Apple will do a one time replacement for iPhone 4 but something tells me that this will be coming to an end with the new plan being available for 4S. If you can swing it, it's worth it to me.

  • Is Apple Care worth it for me? Retina macbook - please help!

    Hi everyone,
    I'm new to Apple having just bought my first Macbook Pro Retina 13 last month and absolutely loving it!
    My question is probably very similar to others but I'm finding contradicting answers everywhere - so is Apple Care worth it for me?
    If it doesn't include accidental damage, and just software/hardware, then is there any need for me to purchase it in its first year? Or even 2nd year for that matter due to EU consumer laws?
    What confuses me is that when I bought my macbook from the apple store, the employee told me a story of how a woman had just bought her retina macbook 2 months before hand & brought it in for repair as the screen had been damaged from her closing her macbook.. but she didn't have apple care so this cost her £800 to replace the screen - ouch!
    But if she DID have applecare, how would this even be covered if it's only software & hardware and no accidental damage? Or are they just a bit more lenient when you have apple care?
    Thanks!

    Apple makes a profit from AppleCare; otherwise it wouldn't offer the service. On average, buyers lose money on it. Consider whether you can afford to be self-insured for the risk. Make sure you understand that it's a warranty extension and a support contract, not insurance against loss or damage.
    If you choose to buy AppleCare, don't buy it at the same time as the Mac, and don't buy it from Apple. Get it from a reputable discounter such as LA Computer anytime before the one-year factory warranty expires.
    An exception to the above rule is that if you buy an Apple display together with a Mac, you have to buy AppleCare at the same time in order to get coverage for both.

  • Can I purchase the "old" Apple Care Protection Plan for the iPhone 5S?

    Hi community,
    I have an iPhone 5S since day one of launch (september 20th 2013) and I want to purchase an Apple Care Protection Plan for it.
    As I remember it's possible to purchase it as long as the 1-year-warranty is running, so my time is limited :-)
    It seems as if the "old" Protection Plan doesn't exist anymore, there's only AppleCare+ for purchase.
    My problem is that AppleCare+ can only be purchased 30 days after the purchase of a new iPhone.
    Am I still able to get the "old" Protection Plan with the same conditions or is there no chance?
    Thanx-a-lot in advance!

    Call Apple care in your country they should advise you if you can purchase as you seem to have fallen between the two Plans if AppleCare+ was announced in your Country after the date you purchased your iPhone 5S
    Contact Apple for support and service

  • What exactly does apple care plus cover for the 4th generation ipod touch?

    Note that there is no AppleCare+ for iPods.

    You can try your homeowner's insurance company; unfortunately, the hardware warranty was most likely voided. You can read it here:

    If you are referring to the extended Applecare Protection Plan:

  • Does anyone know if apple do trade ins on the iphone4 for iphone4s?

    Does anyone know if apple do trade ins on the iphone4 for iphone4s?

    Apple does not take trade-ins. In a few countries Apple does work with a company who will give you some return on an existing device; for the US, see:
    http://www.apple.com/recycling/gift-card/
    Similar programs are available in a few other countries, and some dealers may have their own trade-in programs. But you most probably can get more for your device if you sell it yourself.

  • Recently updated the the apple tv remote app for my iPhone4. Now can no longer turn on the apple tv "box" on/off using iPhone app.  Only thing that shows on iP screen is music library.  Home Sharing is on. Any help appreciated.

    Recently updated the the apple tv remote app for my iPhone4. Now can no longer turn on the apple tv "box" on/off using iPhone app as I used to do before the update.  Only thing that shows on iPhone screen is music library.  Home Sharing is on. Any help appreciated.  Sorry if this is not exactly the right place to post this!

    One clue: I have found a reliable way to solve the problem when it happens.
    In my network, I have the main Airport Extreme (Gen 1) which is connected to my router, which distributes IP addresses to my internal subnet.  The other two AEs (one Gen 4, one Gen 5) are set to extend the network.
    When I get this problem with an AppleTV 2 that can "see" my library, but when I try to open it, it says it couldn't find the library, it seems to have to do with a change in which Airport Extreme it's talking to.
    If I restart the main Airport Extreme from the Airport Utility, effectively restarting the entire wireless network, then when the network resumes, every AppleTV 2 is happy again.
    Unfortuntely, the problem does seem to recur - but I'm wondering if it's because temporary interference leads an AppleTV 2 to try to connect to a different AE, and somehow that's mucking with the Home Sharing.  Remember, internet access (Trailers, Store, Netflix) have no issues.  Purely Home Sharing.

  • My screen cracked, but I haven't had my macbook for a full year yet. Does Apple care or warranty cover the costs of the damage?

    My screen cracked, does apple care or warrant cover the costs?

    Yes, unless the damage occurred due to an accident. In other words the warranty is applicable only if the crack occurred due to a manufacturing defect.

    If what Allen says does not fix the issue I have seen this as a Hardware issue and I would get into an Apple Store if it is close by

  • Can I purchase an Apple Care extended warranty for an iPad Air if I purchase it at Best Buy?

    CAn I buy an Apple Care extended warranty for an iPad Air if I purchase it at Best Buy?

    For me? Buying from best buy was my only option since the closest apple store is over an hour away. (and technically in another state)
    Also, when I bought my iPod the warranty that Best Buy offered was far more comprehensive than Apple Care with accidental damage protection for up to 3 years.
    And, when my iPad's charging port messed up, I took it into Best Buy and they swapped me out for a new one while at an Apple store I likely would have gotten a refurb.
    When I swapped out my iPod 4 for my iPod 5 I took it into best buy, got $70 towards the purchase of the new device by trading in the old one.
    Best Buy isn't perfect and not every store is a good one, but they are a good alternative or other option to explore for those buying devices.
    I think my biggest beef when buying my iPad and later iPod at Best Buy is when I bought my iPad I bought the screen protector and they wanted to charge me to apply it...and it kinda rankled for me to be plunking down over $600 dollars to have them want to charge me $15 for a screen protector install.

  • Does an older Apple care (MA519ZM/A) for iBook/Macbook work with Macbook air 2012?

    I found an older model of the apple care (MA519ZM/A) for cheap online.
    It says its for iBook / Macbook, but having googled the model number some websites seem to say its for the Air aswell.
    So I was wondering if it would work with the MBA 13inch 2012.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The AppleCare you want to buy is designed for the MacBook, the MacBook Air and the 13-inch MacBook Pro, so you should be able to use it.
    I recommend you to get it directly from Apple, so you can be sure it will be compatible, but it should also work
