Hi,

OH has an apple iPhone 4 and he is landing on the 12th. I'm looking to insure it (can't put it on home ins as we don't have a place yet) does anybody have any knowledge of Insurance companies in Canada that will just insure this (and eventually macbook too when I land in march?) many thanks brookel x

I think you can get applecare. I know I was offered it.

thanks lorna d, i had looked into that but I wanted something to cover loss/theft too. i think OH will just have to staple it to himself until we can put in on home ins! brookel

Nothing to worry about, the 4s and the soon to release 5 gets more attention

fine by me, I'd rather the thieves nicked someone else's better phone! brookel x

I thought the point of moving to Canada was that people didnt nick each other phones...

A friend of one or kid was at a house party over the Holidays, and had her new iphone stolen along with her purse We are talking a small group of people at a surburbian house party

Now this I want....a guita embedded with an ipad

Dare I even ask why?

Even on home insurance (if it is covered at all), it won't be worth a claim if you lose it. The premium hike would more than the payout you get. Small electronics are best written off if you lose them. We put a deductible of $1000 on our policy now, its not worth claiming under and likely not worth it for less than a $5000 loss. Insurance companies are pretty aggressive with claims, and if you make too many they refuse to renew your policy, eventually you could end up without an insurer.

I'd have thought the AppBlaster gun would have been more useful in your line of work, what with training and stuff?
