AppleCare+ now covers iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 back glass breaking for $39

If you’re the type of person who drops their iPhone 13 or iPhone 12 device a lot and refuses to use a screen protector or a case, this is definitely good news.

AppleCare+, Apple’s extended warranty program, now covers two incidents of accidental damage protection every 12 months. Apple says that each incident includes a service fee of $39, but the key new update is that “screen or back glass damage” is included.

“AppleCare+ for iPhone extends your coverage and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage protection every 12 months. Each incident is subject to a service fee of $39 for screen or back glass damage, or $129 for any other damage, plus applicable tax,” writes Apple.

Prior to this change, cracked or damaged back glass replacements cost in the range of $100. AppleCare+ costs $199 or $9.99 per month.
