AVOID APPLE CARE purchase alongside iphone purchase at Best Buy.
****3rd Party Grift Alert ***
Best Buy will offer you Apple Care cover for about $12.00 per month - Be aware that this renews automatically every 12 months.
And, like me, you may never receive an email alerting you of their renewal.
According to my conversations with Best Buy agents, they will quite happily continue to charge your credit card for years and years if you don’t personally, officially, cancel- even if the phone is lost, broken , unused, or upgraded and even when you have claimed on the Apple Care policy!
Best Buy will cost you roughly $145.56 per year, per phone, to purchase Apple Care +cover plan.
Apple- without subscriptions or sneaky renewals will cost you about $100.00 for one year.
Buying Apple cover direct from your phone carrier (eg. Verizon) will also likely be a cheaper option when bundled with a monthly payment plan.
Don’t give 3rd party Best Buy $50 per year (for ever and ever ) for doing absolutely nothing for you…

Have had only positive experiences here thus far from customer service to purchases to e recycling.
Nice store. Clean and well stocked. I ended up purchasing a large TV. Sales kid was nice and knew about the products. They helped me load it into my truck. Good experience all around.
