iPhone 12 Pro Max iphone Insurance help UK

[vine-boating]

Hi

I have just bought an 12 Pro Max outright and it makes sense to get insurance since it was over 1k I saved and spent to buy the phone.
I would opt for Apple Care Plus, but it doesn't cover theft or loss. Can anyone recommend me a good insurance provider where it is easily to claim, repairs are of high quality.
I know all the high street banks offer insurance like Natwest, Monzo, Nationwide but I have always heard horror stories about them as well such as broken phones being issued as a replacement etc...

My iPhone is covered by my home contents insurance with Aviva. I’d be surprised if most people who own or rent a house don’t have this.

I tend to get Apple care plus and register it on my home insurance.

Apple care covers me for accidental damage and premiums don’t go up if you claim. House insurance is for theft and loss but your premiums will shoot up if you claim.

I always prefer to go to Apple for repairs which is why I get AppleCare.

If you move providers annually then you can remove any significant premiums with home insurance. It would be a rare occurrence to claim for an iPhone too. AC+ is around £8 a month last time I looked which is a lot more than any premium that might be added should you claim.

Mine is covered by my bank's (Nationwide) gadget insurance as part of my packaged account (which also gives me motoring breakdown insurance and travel insurance).

Protect your bubble is pretty decent. Claim processed quickly and phone arrived the next day after paying the excess. £100 excess is a bit much but think you get that anywhere

I don't have contents insurance. I am student who is living away for 3 years.

I don't have home insurance. I would have picked Apple already if they offered cover for theft and loss. Sadly, they don't.

Nationwide Flex Plus?

Have you ever made a claim? If yes, how was the process?

Was the replacement brand new?

I also use Nationwide for my phone insurance but am yet to make a claim. The Flex Plus account is amazing value for money - especially as my wife and I have a joint account. You'd think they'd double the fee, but nope - same fee as single accounts.

Unfortunately thanks to Covid haven't been in a situation where I've had to claim on the breakdown cover nor the travel insurance. The breakdown cover is actually provided by AA: https://www.nationwidemediacentre.co.uk/news/nationwide-select-the-aa-as-its-new-breakdown-provider

I had contents insurance both when I lived in a halls of residence and when I rented a room in a shared house. I was at university between 2001 and 2004 and it was advisory to insure your possessions back then. Do you not have any valuable items with you like a computer, electronics etc? Sounds risky to me.

Yeah it definitely appeared brand new with 100% battery health

Always get EE, next day replacement in the Apple white box. Not sure who else offers this?

Don't know how it is in UK but in Sweden it's easy to claim with home insurance.
