How it works: You can file a claim online or on the phone. Depending on the issue, we will either fix your iPhone or arrange for a replacement.

Reviews & Press

iPhone Life

“Stuff Breaks. So says SquareTrade, the folks who offer an extended warranty for your iPhone and iPad, among other devices. It’s true, and perhaps even more so with the abundance of glass on the iPhone 4. I have always kept my iPhone in a case, because, frankly, I’m clumsy and prone to dropping it. However, the new iPhone 4 is so slim and elegant that you might want to keep it unveiled. Case or no case, you should check out the SquareTrade offer..." link

“The iPhone isn't the most expensive gadget you can stuff in your pocket, but it isn't the cheapest either. If you want a safety net for your investment, your options are fairly limited. Fortunately, SquareTrade has rolled out a new iPhone protection plan, much like its iPad plan launched in April, just in time for WWDC 2010... " link

"If you buy the SquareTrade warranty within 30 days of purchase of your Mac, you can add the accidental damage and handling. That's a big plus over standard AppleCare... I cover most of my stuff (MacBooks, iPhones, TVs) with SquareTrade for these reasons" link

"I had a Square Trade policy on my 16gb 3g. I spilled a root beer on it, which toasted the phone. I had it insured for $500.00. Sent the phone to Square Trade, and received a check for $450.00 ($50.00 damage deductible). In my experience, they have been very responsive and reputable." link

"SquareTrade, a popular electronics warranty company offering coverage for a wide array of devices including the iPhone and iPad, has rolled out a revamped iPhone warranty program temporarily priced at $99 for two years of coverage, with a regular price of $124. The warranty provides coverage against drops, spills, and general hardware failures, accidental claims typically requiring a $50 deductible and standard hardware failure warranty claims requiring no deductible. Premiums and deductibles are the same for all iPhone models." link

"…if you accidentally drop your iPhone in the toilet (it happens) or if, while looking up your Tiramisu recipe in MacGourmet, you happen to spill Kahlua all over your MacBook, you won't be covered by AppleCare….In addition to covering manufacturers' defects, Square Trade's warranty covers accidental damage." link

"My 19-month Dell laptop suddenly died. Upon calling, I was advised to either ship the unit to Square Trade or attempt to have it repaired locally and be reimbursed. I opted for the latter, and was advised by the technician that the cost would probably exceed the laptop's value. I e-mailed the report to Square Trade, and was instructed to forward the computer to them (at their expense ... they sent a shipping label). It would be acceptable to remove the hard drive, which I did. If they determined that repairs would be prohibitive, I'd be sent the $600 I paid for it. That's exactly what happened ... within a couple of days, I had my money through PayPal. It was that simple, and took just over a week ... amazing!

[And] just a couple of days ago, my iPhone's Bluetooth chip went bad, as determined by Apple support. Square Trade asked me if I'd prefer to send it to them or have Apple look at it. I chose to deal locally. The end result was an out-of-warranty exchange at the Apple Store, for which I paid $199. Upon sending the receipt to Square Trade, I received notification that I'd be creditied the full amount (less tax) through PayPal within a day or so. Again, they were right on the money (pun unintended). This morning, the funds were in my bank account.

It just doesn't get any better than this ... great prices, excellent coverage, outstanding service." link

"The iPhone warranty I just bought was a lot cheaper than anything else I found out there. The process was also really simple. On top of the that I just received an iPhone cover in the mail, which I wasn't expecting. What a nice surprise! I'm basically telling everyone I know about SquareTrade!" link
