    Again, there is NO insurance available for the iPhone that you can just purchase. ONLY Best Buy covers accidental damages. Straight from Apple's website:

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Phone Warranty

    iPhone comes with 90 days of complimentary technical support. In addition, your iPhone, its rechargeable battery, and all included accessories are covered against defects for a full year from the purchase date by a limited hardware warranty.

    AppleCare Protection Plan

    To extend your technical support and hardware coverage to up to two years from the original purchase date of your iPhone, get the AppleCare Protection Plan. You’ll have one number to call for world-class support, and you’ll receive comprehensive service and support for your iPhone, battery, and included accessories.

    Just $69.00 — Simply add AppleCare Protection Plan to your shopping cart after you select your iPhone.

    I will tell you the same as I tell every customer that NEVER buys extended warranties or do not believe in them. YOU may be careful, but the people you let borrow or use may not.

    My point is, you're paying for something you think you have... but really, there is no insurance.

    Let's say I drop it in water, and I go into Apple and say it stopped working. New phone. :)

    lol, try it and tell me how successful you are.

    Here is their procedure. They will ask you to leave the phone with them for about 30 mins. In the 30 mins, they will disassemble your phone and look for the liquid sensors. If they are tripped, you are not getting any kind of replacement.

    I got some inside sources so...:spy:




    The bottom line is if you have the Apple Care and you know what to say should something happen to an Apple product, you'll get a new one. It's worked 4 times for me with 3 iPods and a MacBook. :)

    Oh, the MacBook legitimately didn't work out of the box. That wasn't a fib. :laugh:


    The iPods are a different story. :D
