1) AppleCare just extends the normal warranty by a year - meaning that it only covers manufacturing defects and hardware failure due to those defects. The vast majority of problems that will happen to a mobile phone - damage due to scratches, dropping, cracked glass, etc - won't be covered.
2) If warranties didn't make businesses money then they wouldn't be sold. Clearly, phones replaced under warranty cost Apple less than the monies they pull in from warranty sales. Based on simple probability, you will have to replace items on occasion but you will cover that cost by your savings from not buying the warranties.
We bought two phones and put Apple Care on both. After 4 months one of them started to freeze every so often when playing music.
We took it in, 5 minutes later we had a new phone.
Best service I ever purchased. Normally I never buy extended warranties, but the service provided is well worth it. It was so painless that I purchased it on my new iMac.
Apple takes care of you.
Again, this is a money maker for the provider, so odds are you won't need it, especially if you tend to be careful with your possessions.

This would have been covered with our without Apple Care. You have a 1 year warranty against defects free of charge with purchase. Apple Care simply extends this to 2 years.
1. Extends the warranty to two years
2. You can contact Apple via phone for tech support for two years instead of just 90 days if you don't buy the warranty.
The most important reason to have Apple Care, and is the biggest reason that I have it:
3. WHEN YOUR IPHONE BREAKS YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR APPLE TO SEND IT OUT AND REPAIR IT, THEY WILL SIMPLY REPLACE IT RIGHT THEN AND THERE!!!
Apple care worth it?
