Paying extra for special insurance on a phone this expensive is certainly something.

I have lost the count. Is this the 10th or 15th with the exact same content?


Why are PhoneArena pushing so hard for it? One article would be enough.. Readers would get the message and carry on. But now it's gotten clear that there is some other incentive that is forcing you to do all these articles with the same message. Getting paid?

$2,800 for a smartphone setup? Let’s do the math (for Switzerland): the iPhone Duo (256GB) is $2,400, plus an extra $400 for two years of AppleCare+. You can buy Samsung's brand-new Fold 8 for half that price ($1,400). Even better: you can grab last year’s flagship Fold 7 brand new for just $950. At under a grand, you get a premium powerhouse that you don’t have to babysit, without destroying your savings. Choosing a Samsung option saves you up to $1,850 over the Duo. Honestly, how is this even a debate?

by logic, it is not a discussion. But if people only have/had Apple devices and they like their software and features (limited compared to the competition), they will buy an iphone duo, they will not change to samsung, just because it's cheaper.

The last thing I'd do is give Apple more money for a defective device they created.
