If this is the same as the other Applecares, it won't cover drops, cracks, etc - right?
There is no hard drive to fail, so I feel like it'd only be a failing touchscreen or maybe loose headphone or dock connector I'd be covering.
If that's true, $69 for 1 extra year actually seems a bit steep to me.
Yes, but I think it includes the battery, so it's not a bad deal if you will be keeping the phone for 2 years. The battery is going to only last a bit over 1 if you charge it daily and battery repair alone is $85.
