The basic premise behind insurance is that at the onset of a transaction, two parties meet & make a wager where the insurer promises to cover the cost of any accidents that may occur over a specific period if the insured is willing to pay a specified amount upfront. Insurance has to be one of the most interesting of humanity's creations.

I buy a lot of AppleCare - probably 80-90% of my products get coverage - but I never sat back and calculated 1) the cost of all these extended warranties and 2) if I was coming out on top, breaking even, or hemorrhaging cash. Initially, I was incredulous at Wes' position! But the more I thought about it, I realized I had no true sense about my AppleCare spending. Initially, I agreed with Stephen, the cohost whose opinion, and this isn't a direct quote, was: 'AppleCare All the Things!' This ran opposite to Wes' argument he maintained that he saves money not purchasing AppleCare since the cost of any out-of-pocket repairs incurred is less across time than if he has purchased AppleCare. I wanted to find out the answer to this question after listening to an episode of The AppleInsider Podcast where the two hosts spoke about whether the merits of paying for repairs out-of-pocket is less than the cost of AppleCare purchases. Do you know if you are paying more for AppleCare than you are for the repairs you claim through Apple's extended warranty program?
