That is a very personal question. Do you often need repair services on your Mac?


Have you had damaged or defective Macs in the past? How often?


If you have more than 1 major issue in a year with a Mac in the past or have regularly dropped it and physically damaged it, then it may be worth it to you.


Otherwise, maybe not.


Though having to pay $800 or $900 for a cracked screen or enclosure damage, or water damage repair instead of say $99 with Apple Care+ might be a better selling point.

Based on Personal Experience:


A little bit of a story for you: My 2017 MBP's screen went dead and I sent it in each time --ending in 11 send-ins. Eventually I wan granted a free upgraded Mac, being I was so patient and respectful to Apple (in recognition of how not all customers are respectful and helpful on a bug). So, send this in 11 times (seems ridiculous, but so) and maybe they'll do the same for you. So, be CoolCalm, and Collective, and you might just luck out like I did. I was rented a free $2,500 upgrade. So, I always go for one.
