Answer :

I’ve bought APP for all my macs and pods, but not the phone. I pay an additional couple of euros on top of my contract fee for a comprehensive insurance. Realistically I think I’m far more likely to encounter physical damage or account/carrier problems than device malfunction. And for that reason I think I’m better off with the insurance than the APP when it comes to iPhone.
