Here's what's convinced me to get the Apple Care + extended warranty. If my iPhone - which I use all the time for business - breaks once, it's basically paid for just from the advanced replacement and shipping charges I saved alone.
The rest means you get service with Apple, either online or via the Apple Store.
I've never used the '+' part, but I will later this year with a cracked glass on my iPad (I dropped it). The crack is not across the visible screen, but I'll be sure to take it in for the $50 repair to give me a fully functional iPad.
My iP4s had to be replaced twice due to hardware issues, the first one the advanced replacement paid for more of the Apple Care, the second one was after the 1 year warranty expired.
For me, the question is whether you go with American Express card as your extended warranty. That gives you 2 years.
