I have t-mobile and Apple care services is free but I’ve been paying $18 a month for the protection plan. Aren’t these essentially the same?
iPhone 11, iOS 14
https://www.t-mobile.com/news/press/premium-device-protection Take a look at this T-Mobile article. You get free AppleCare because of the premium protection plan you pay for. If you remove it you lose the AppleCare portion.
I'm not sure what your paying for or to whom you're paying? Carriers often sell their own protection plans, which are not necessarily AppleCare+ Plans.
I wish it would go into detail what exactly Apple Care Services provide. I guess that’s my issue.
Thank you so much!!! My sister mentioned this but wasn’t too sure.
No problem. I’m not with T-Mobile but I did a quick google search. Glad this was able to clear up your questions
You need to talk to your carrier about the 360 service you are paying for but I imagine it may cover what AppleCare won’t. Possibly loss and theft (regular AppleCare+ don’t cover that). Water damage (AppleCare does not cover it and despite what many seem to think water resistant isn’t waterproof). You need to find out from your carrier what is covered and what happens if you want to cancel the coverage (your free AppleCare services may actually be part of the $18 service).
Actually...looking at the explanation clearly states what it covers. AppleCare doesn’t cover all of that.

When did you purchase your phone? You only have 60 days past the purchase of your phone to add AppleCare+ or AppleCare+ Theft and Loss to your phone. If you are past that time, it's academic what the differences are with the plan you pay for with T-Mobile.
