[QUOTE="tdkask, post: 763313, member: 73070"] it's like any other product, and apple has done like erery other company. Expected failure rates are studied and predicted, and the cost of replacing them is statistically calculated into the price. All they have done is add additional option to buy more warranty, which also has been statistically figured into the cost of the applecare. They sell as many as possible and that means the most reasonable price sensible to the company sales, with no expectation of losses in the cost of warranties. You are basically buying insurance. You will note, by the way, that they do not gamble past that year mark. Too hard for them to calculate or to keep parts for or service. Also, 3 years is a reasonable time for a manufacturer to hope you'd replace with a newer model. [/QUOTE]
