But after shelling out all that money, are you protected if something goes wrong?
Pricing
Hopefully, you’re ready to take some notes becauseAppleCare+’s pricingis a bit complex.
Coverage and Restrictions
Generally, AppleCare+ does cover common issues that can arise.
Overall Value
The thing is, Applekind of has you in a corner.
What it’s crucial that you cover will dictate which package you choose.
The Care+ Essentials covers only computers and Samsung earbuds.

The Care+ package covers practically everything, includingphones, tablets, watches, and everything in the Essentials package.
For example, a Tier 1 phone is going to cost less than a Tier 4 phone.
When compared to AppleCare+, having tiered pricing is a little easier to digest and follow.

Even just navigating the Care+ website is infinitely easier and less intimidating.
Unfortunately, loss of data isn’t covered.
Samsung may be a little cheaper and more forgiving than AppleCare+, but there are a few things missing.
Save yourself the headache of dealing with an OEM warranty by choosing a low-cost insurance plan that protects you from accidents and theft.
Whereas Apple offers a concierge service that repairs devices at your home or work, Samsung does not.
It’s a trade-off, and that convenience may be valuable to certain customers.
However, that doesn’t mean it’s not an option worth considering.
There are surprisingly few limitations when working with AKKO.
The restrictions amount to phone-only coverage limits.
AKKO is by far the best value for phone and electronic coverage.
And the service is just as fast, if not faster, in some cases.
Claims are paid out the same day they’re approved.
