iPhone Insurance

The iPhone insurance, or lack of it, has just been thrown another challenge, namely, getting comprehensive iphone insurance for iphone 3G. The real problem is that iphone insurance for all iphones including the models 8GB and 16GB have been sorely lacking to date, offering only extended warranty and in certain restrictive cases accidental damage (if the user goes through the Internet to obtain the latter within a month of buying his new iphone 3G). iPhone insurance at point of sale through AT&T and Apple Care to date has simply not been a viable option and now it is evident that the new iphone 3G falls into the same poor cell phone insurance scenario

The iphone 3G has a lot of added value and is without doubt an expensive portable device. It has a built in video camera, has an application to help track it when lost, can send MMS, has better battery life, voice control capability, navigation and is faster and more powerful. If ever a need to have iphone owners covered for risks like iphone lost or stolen, and a more definite iphone damage cover, it is now. Both AT&T insurance division and Apple Care are not putting iphone insurance issues on the front burner and that is both frustrating and bewildering at the same time. By adding the 3G iPhone and leaving these gaps in the wireless phone insurance needs unanswered is really not ideal by any stretch of the imagination.
