Why should I insure my Apple iPhone?
Anyone who has used an iPhone will know that there is a good chance something will occur to put your device at risk. At any one time, up to a quarter of iPhones are afflicted with some kind of damage to the screen, according to CNET. And this is only the start of a long list of physical ailments to which Apple’s flagship iOS-based smartphone range is susceptible, not to mention other issues such as theft, loss and malfunction. So if you weigh up the odds of something putting your smartphone out of action, insurance from gadgetbuddy.com may make a great deal of sense. Getting cover for your mobile phone which is independent from your home insurance policy will mean that if you make a claim for your iPhone it will not adversely affect your premiums for other policies.
