Superior to AppleCare
AppleCare does not cover you if you drop your iPhone or spill liquids on it. It only covers failures through normal use. That leaves you exposed because 80% of iPhone failures are from Accidents.
SquareTrade is the only licensed provider to cover failures from accidents and normal use. We will pay you cash in case of drops, spills, water damage, battery failures or any other failures from normal use or accidental damage.

What is covered? | Warranty Service | iPhone Insurance
- 2 years of coverage: The SquareTrade iPhone warranty covers your iPhone for 2 years, starting on the date of purchase.
- Accidental Damage from Handling (ADH): 80% of all iPhone failures reported to SquareTrade are caused by accidents. The SquareTrade iPhone warranty is the only coverage option that protects against drops, spills, and other accidents!
- Deductible: There is a $50 deductible when claiming on an accidentally damaged item (e.g. drops, spills). If your issue falls under the standard warranty terms (i.e., a mechanical or electrical failure), no deductible applies.
- Exclusions: There is a 30-day exclusion window after you first purchase your item. ADH does not include loss, willful damage or damage occurring through gross misuse of the item. The damage must have occurred unintentionally while the item was being used as intended.
- Extended coverage of the manufacturer's warranty: The SquareTrade iPhone warranty also extends the same coverage as the manufacturer's warranty. This covers all mechanical and electrical problems that arise out of normal use. This includes most hardware failures and power/charging failures.
- No deductible: If your iPhone fails because of a manufacturer defect, there is NO deductible to claim.
- Battery: If the iPhone battery life drops below 50% of the original, it's eligible for a replacement.
- All warranties sold by SquareTrade are covered by AmTrust Financial Services, a company rated A- by A.M. Best.
- How to file a claim: Filing a claim is easy and hassle free. Just call us at 1-877-WARRANTY or start your claim online. You will need your receipt, which you can also fax in for safekeeping right after you purchase.
- Repair or Reimburse: Based on what happened to your iPhone, we will let you know if it's suitable for repair or reimbursement.
- For reimbursements, we will pay you the replacement cost of your iPhone, up to a maximum of $299 for the 8gb iPhone, $399 for the 16gb iPhone, and $499 for the 32gb iPhone. (16gb 3G models may cost less than $399 to replace). If accidental damage was the cause of the failure, we will subtract a $50 deductible from the payout.
- No Cheap Refurbs! Unlike other warranties, we won't send you someone else's broken iPhone that has been patched back together. If we don't fix your item, we give you the money to replace your item.
- You can take this money and buy the latest iPhone model, or pick some other phone completely! (OK, who are we kidding).
- Free Shipping to our depot: We'll give you a free pre-paid UPS shipping label to send in the phone into our repair depot.
- Our 5-day service guarantee: We will reimburse OR fix and ship back your iPhone within 5 business days of receiving it at the depot. If it takes longer, let us know and we'll be happy to refund the cost of your warranty.
