If you need to replace battery under Apple Care, the battery health has to lower than 80% or you pay for the battery replacement by yourself. I guess you may want to pay for another year for now since a refurbished iPhone 13 Pro still costs a lot now.

Im to gentle with my devices i use

I’m month to month. I’d rather do that, than one lump sum. I know it would be cheaper. But month to month was the cheapest at the time, considering, I did spend 1600 on this phone.

absolutely! it wasn’t an option for my previous phone and I’m sad it wasn’t an option in Canada after the back glass took a dive :/
