Your iPhone Coverage Options

Since 80% of reported failures are from Accidents, ST gives you the protection that you really need for your iPhone, including coverage from drops, spills and other accidents.

2 years of coverage from Drops & Spills as well as extending coverage for mechanical / electrical failures for the 2nd year. Coverage Details

What is covered:

• 2 years of coverage (or more) The SquareTrade iPhone warranty covers your iPhone for 2 years, starting on the date of purchase. You have the option to purchase a 3rd year of coverage for a bit more.
• Accidental Damage from Handling (ADH) 80% of all iPhone failures reported to SquareTrade are caused by accidents. The SquareTrade iPhone warranty is the only coverage option that protects against drops, spills, and other accidents!
  • Deductible: There is a $50 deductible when claiming on an accidentally damaged item (e.g. drops, spills). If your issue falls under the standard warranty terms (i.e., a mechanical or electrical failure), no deductible applies.
  • Exclusions: There is a 30-day exclusion window after you first purchase your item. ADH does not include loss, willful damage or damage occurring through gross misuse of the item. The damage must have occurred unintentionally while the item was being used as intended.
• Extended coverage of the manufacturer's warranty The SquareTrade iPhone warranty also extends the same coverage as the manufacturer's warranty. This covers all mechanical and electrical problems that arise out of normal use. This includes most hardware failures and power/charging failures.
  • No deductible: If your iPhone fails because of a manufacturer defect, there is NO deductible to claim.
  • Battery: If the iPhone battery life drops below 50% of the original, it's eligible for a replacement.

My son is going off to college and I immediately registered his new computer with them. Their prices for the warranties are excellent and their coverage unbeatable. Thank you Square Trade and keep up the great work - you'll have my business forever!" - WeRBlam

An excellent, responsive company. I have no qualms about insuring other items I purchase with them." - wpterry
• "Square Trade is a one of kind company that goes above and beyond to provide Excellent service to its customers. Communication in the customer service field is key and they are the key holders.

Two thumbs for Square Trade." - pollard702

• "My spouses cell phone stopped working and I remembered that I had purchased a squaretrade warranty. I called them up and explained the situation to them. They explained that I had to ship it to them for them to inspect it. They sent my shipping label and I shipped it off. The told me that it would take 7 business days to complete everything. They were right. No hassels or anything. They refunded me the money I paid for the cell phone. I cannot believe how easy that was." - Mexica1369
• "The program from Square Trade is completely legitimate, completely worthwhile, completely honest and therefore I will use on every electronics or technology purchase from now on. This is far better than a store warranty both in value and ease of use." - dsscpa
• "My Square Trade claim was handled quickly and with professional treatment. I had purchased a Square Trade warranty that was offered as part of an online purchase transaction. I have purchased several Square Trade warranties on different products and often wondered if I had to exercise it, would I be happy with the response." - ggreen5
