The first thing we recommend to buyers of Apple devices is to get an AppleCare+ protection plan. Under AppleCare+, if any damage occurs the device can be repaired at a lower price than without a plan. During the Apple Event this morning, AppleCare+ was updated to provide unlimited replacement for accidental damage.
Previously, AppleCare+ only covered 2 damages that occurred within a year. But Apple puts the condition that the damage must be accidental. This includes the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac products offered by Apple to consumers.
In the United States the cost of repairing the screen or back glass panel is $29 (~RM130) and other accidental damage is $99 (~RM445) under AppleCare+. Still cheaper than without a coverage plan,
In Malaysia, AppleCare+ plans for Mac, iPad and Apple TV are only offered at this time. Malaysian iPhone and Apple Watch users should be careful because damage will be borne by themselves.
