iPhone theft and loss insurance

Hi,

Has anyone used apples insurance and if so is it hassle free if the worst happens? I need to get a new phone and they are very expensive compared to my last iphone. I’ve seen enough videos of them being snatched from people’s hands

cheers

Stuff like that may be covered on your house insurance (or as an optional extra), or sometimes with bank accounts. Worth checking what you’re already covered for before paying extra.

Put a case on it with a lanyard attachment, and put a lanyard on it long enough to hold the phone out, but not long enough to hit the floor if you drop it. I’ve made one out of Dyneema, which has a breaking strain of around 450lb, it’s used on dinghies.

Or use a lanyard with a clip like those with footy club logos. Not losing it in the first place is the best option. The case is an Otterbox Defender.
