With the instant credit feature, customers can not just save money on the new iPhone, it can also save on Apple Care+ costs.
For every iPhone, Apple offers one year of hardware repair coverage through its limited warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary technical support.
With AppleCare+, the company extends hardware repair coverage to two years (from the date of purchase). It covers unlimited incidents of accidental damage protection. However, it should be noted that each incident is subject to a service fee of Rs 2,500 for screen or back glass damage. And, other accidental damage may cost up to Rs 8,900. These costs are very subsidised compared to the real costs of repair.
