However, the fun stops when you read the fine print: having an AppleCare+ subscription, which costs $129, includes only two repairs from accidental damage, plus a service fee. It’s worth noting how much AppleCare+ costs - $149 for the iPhone 7 Plus, or $129 for the iPhone 7 - on top of the existing cost of buying a new iPhone 7 or 7 Plus ($649 or $769 unlocked, respectively. By comparison, getting a cracked screen fixed without having AppleCare would cost you $149, so there is some benefit to be had by enrolling. Following yesterday’s iPhone 7 announcement, Apple is announcing that new AppleCare+ memberswill be able to get their cracked screens fixed for $29. This is big news for everyone who uses an iPhone with AppleCare+, and ultimately, anyone who owns an iPhone to begin with.
