I’ve noticed that by going directly with Sprint, Apple Care is a flat $99 fee--- supposedly Best Buy charges a $14.99 monthly rate for their insurance. I’ve heard that if you buy the IPhone directly from Apple that they only charge a flat $69 for Apple Care--- is this still the case?

So for me it isn’t worth it to get a few miles by buying the IPhone from Best Buy and pay higher insurance; if the Apple Care plan is still a flat $69 fee, then going through the Amex Mall directly with Apple may be your best value.
