[QUOTE="Tarheel Fan, post: 1430731, member: 202157"] A few months ago I purchased an iPhone 4 for my daughter. I did not purchase Apple Care but my wife purchased insurance through AT&T for $6.99/month. As expected, my daughter dropped her phone and the screen shattered. Yesterday I took it to the AT&T store and they said because I have the insurance I can get a new phone for $200 instead of $650. What? I don't need a new phone, I need a new screen on a phone bought in April. If I bust my car windshield my insurance pays to replace the windshield, not make me pay a high price for a new car. I told them I thought they were running a scam and I instantly cancelled the insurance (hope that doesn't bite me in the butt). Does Apple Care do the same thing or would it just replace the screen? Like I said, I cancelled the AT&T insurance and maybe the Apple Care is what I need. As for the screen replacement, the dude at the AT&T store told me there is a place around where I live that does it for $80. I haven't been to the Apple Store yet. I appreciate any help! Thanks!
