I bought a brand new iPhone 15 (my first ever ‘first hand’ phone!) and I have 15 days left to sign up for Apple Care.

In my country it’s $15NZD a month. My country also doesn’t have an Apple Store, so not sure how it works to get it repaired/replaced.

Although I’ve got a good quality case (Spigen) and a glass screen protector, I’ve dropped it a few times and the screen protector already has a few cracks.

Money is tight, and an extra $15NZD is not something I’d like to spend if I don’t have to.

Thanks and open to all suggestions
