From the “why am I paying more and more for the iPhone” department:
Under both AppleCare+ plans, each accidental damage incident is subject to a service fee or deductible of $29 for screen damage or $99 for any other accidental damage. Theft or loss deductibles vary: $199 for iPhone 7 and iPhone 8, $229 for iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 8 Plus, $229 for iPhone XR, $269 for iPhone XS or iPhone XS Max. Taxes may apply. AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss requires you to have Find My iPhone enabled on your device at the time it is lost or stolen.

Note:
I have issues with the naming and typeface of iPhone branding.
Apple seems to be using Capital “S” and “R” but in smaller size in their own press release.
