I like to go caseless and I also tend to be quite clumsy in general, so my iPhone X has had two accidental replacements in the covered two years, and an additional one that wasn't covered because I used up my two.

If I read the terms of the new apple care correctly, I get two incidents EACH YEAR, so up to four total. The costs for screen replacement or other replacement is also much cheaper than before. In every way, apple care seems to be better value than last year.

I am in Australia btw.

Is there any catch? Any legalese that I am missing?
