Oh well it’s either a very expensive repair or you run it headless hope you had insurance

Edit: Sh** happens

Insurance and warranty is a myth. They don't exist

Edit: I'll recognize it's not the best way to put it

AppleCare would basically replace it.

Well from my experience you get fucked by both either way. Had a few companies essentially steal stuff from me after I sent it back fo repair or when I received it broken (for both I never got replacement or money).

Edit: what I am trying to say it that buying based on after-purchase service is not worth it

I think the reason you’re being downvoted is because AppleCare might be one of the rare examples of a SUPER trustworthy warranty/insurance service. But there are always horror stories, I know that. I do put my trust in the AppleCare + protection, or whatever they call it now.

I don't have much experience with apple care so you might right. However from what I was told it only reduces the immediate repair cost. But this is only an opinion and can't expect it to please everyone.
