Apple 1 year added cover for iphone £54..yes or no?

Louisa2010

I ordered my iphone tonight and i am waiting a call 2mrw from o2 to confirm it has been posted. I was asked if i wanted the extra cover from Apple for £54 and i said id think about it and get back to her 2mrw.......

Any thoughts?

she said you get an extra battery and iphone repairs are expensive...?

I am a student so i need to make the best choice to save money obviously!

It depends if it would go wrong within a year, would teh cover also cover accidental as well

Extends the complimentary Technical Support from 90 days to 2 years

Just look at the reviews and whether the seller is top rated. A lot of people do this anyway and make sure you use PayPal so in case it's a scam, you will get your money back.

I have just been informed by o2 when I called regarding another matter, that my manufacturers warranty of 12months runs out in june on my iPhone & asked if I wished to purchase apples extended warranty. Since my phone was sold on a 24 month contract, surely there is an expectation that the product should last for the purpose of the contract it is sold in conjuction with - isn't that a statutory right?

Nope, the phone and contract are 2 seperate products. The contract you are paying O2 for is the provision of service, and even if your phone is broken, that service is still being provided (you just need to get the phone repaired, or put the sim into another phone).
